Preferred Networks

Product

Preferred Networks develops AI technology across the computing stack, from processors and computing infrastructure to foundation models and applications. The Tokyo company applies this work to industrial and organizational problems that require specialized data and domain knowledge.

Its collaboration with Zenrin and Zenrin DataCom combines AI development with geographic information that records how physical places change over time. The companies plan to structure geospatial data for AI use and develop services for business and municipal decisions.

Initial applications include forecasting local changes and facility demand, selecting store locations, and simulating urban planning, disaster response and logistics. Preferred Networks contributes research in generative and physical AI, image and 3D recognition, prediction and optimization.
