Autonomous EV Developer Turing Selected for AWS Japan’s LLM Development Support ProgramAccelerating Multimodal Model Development for Fully Autonomous Driving

Turing Inc. (Kashiwa City, Chiba; CEO: Issei Yamamoto; hereinafter “Turing”), a company committed to the development and sales of fully autonomous electric vehicles, announces its selection for Amazon Web Services Japan’s (hereinafter “AWS Japan”) “AWS LLM Development Support Program.”

Relationship between LLM and Fully Autonomous Driving:

Large Language Models (LLMs) are AI models that learn from large amounts of text data to generate human-like text and answer questions. Turing believes that fully autonomous driving requires an AI that understands the world at least as well as humans do, and is developing multimodal models such as LLMs to comprehend the world at a very high level

About the AWS LLM Development Support Program:

AWS Japan’s program supports Japan-based LLM developers, providing guidance on securing computing resources, technical mentoring related to pre-training LLMs on AWS, credits for pre-training LLMs, and business support.
