-- Marubeni (TYO:8002) has started a service with Multiverse Computing to cut data center power use for generative AI by up to 80% by simplifying processing, Nikkei reported Friday.
The technology compresses large language models, easing GPU load and cooling needs without hurting performance, according to the report.
Multiverse, founded in 2019, has deployed the system in Europe, including at Telefonica, where power use fell 75% and speed improved, the report said.
Marubeni plans to market it in Japan to sectors such as finance and pharma as AI-driven power demand rises, according to the report.
