Case Study: Preferred Networks achieves efficient, cost-effective GPU-powered character generation with Alibaba Cloud

Preferred Networks boosts GPU utilization 4x with Alibaba Cloud

Preferred Networks, Inc. (PFN), a Tokyo-based technology firm, faced the challenge of building a robust, GPU-based service infrastructure for its AI character generation platform, Crypko™. They needed a cost-effective cloud solution that could support development and ensure widespread service use. PFN selected Alibaba Cloud, leveraging services like Elastic Compute Service (ECS) and Object Storage Service (OSS), to address these challenges.

Alibaba Cloud implemented a solution using a wide range of its services, including Container Service for Kubernetes and Elastic GPU Service, to build a high-performance and cost-efficient infrastructure. The results included a 4x increase in GPU utilization through GPU sharing technology. PFN praised Alibaba Cloud's extensive support and the cost optimization achieved through flexible billing models, which allowed them to focus on development and service improvement.
