Generative AI adoption is accelerating rapidly across Japan, with diverse organizations from large enterprises to startups actively entering the field. Notable Japanese generative AI ventures include Preferred Networks, Sakana AI, and Jitera. Preferred Networks, established in 2014, represents a leading Japanese AI startup applying deep learning and machine learning across autonomous vehicles, robotics, healthcare, and manufacturing sectors with world-class technical capabilities.

Sakana AI, founded in August 2023 and based in Tokyo, was established by former Google AI researchers pursuing biomimetic AI models inspired by collective organism behavior. The company targets text, image, code, and multimedia generation by orchestrating multiple small AI models to produce complex outputs, adapting dynamically to changing business environments. Jitera provides a development automation platform aimed at accelerating software development speed and quality.

Domestic generative AI services are expected to proliferate beyond foreign platforms. Against the backdrop of DX becoming essential for corporate competitiveness, venture-backed flexible implementation capabilities are accelerating internal data utilization and business automation.
