The facility will run 27,500 Nvidia Rubin GPUs and 13,750 Vera CPUs on the Nvidia DSX platform, targeting open multimodal foundation models for AI agents, digital twins, and robots. METI has committed up to ¥1trn ($6bn) through 2030, with the first tranche of ¥387.3bn already bond-funded. The strategic goal is to capture over 30% of the global AI robotics market by 2040 and deploy 10 million AI-equipped robots across 18 sectors. Notably, the entire compute stack is sourced from a single American vendor, raising sovereignty questions Japan appears to have sidestepped by prioritizing execution over independence. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
