Proposing a solution to compute-resource bottlenecks in AI development and content production through the distributed GPU cloud “GPU POOL” and the parallel rendering platform “GPX”JasmyLab Inc.

JasmyLab Inc. (Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Hiroshi Harada; hereinafter “the Company”) is pleased to announce that it has been selected as a finalist for the pitch award program “QWS STARTUP AWARD 2026,” hosted by SHIBUYA QWS, and will take the stage at the final screening (pitch session) to be held on Thursday, March 5, 2026.

On the day, the Company will present its initiatives centered on the distributed GPU cloud “JANCTION GPU POOL” and the parallel rendering platform “GPX.” These initiatives address challenges caused by GPU procurement difficulties, supply constraints, and increased lead times—issues that can lead to situations where “development stops” or “production stops.” Our goal is to create a state where users can access computing resources whenever they need them.

Two Core Products Driving the Business

1. JANCTION GPU POOL (Distributed GPU Cloud)

JANCTION GPU POOL is a cloud GPU infrastructure that aggregates GPU resources secured and operated in a distributed manner, and provides them according to use case. By enabling an environment where users can consume only what they need, when they need it, the service helps reduce capital expenditure and operational burden, mitigate opportunity loss, and accelerate research and development.

Key points emphasized in this pitch

Shifting the burden associated with GPU procurement—initial investment, procurement lead time, and operational readiness—to a model based on the premise of using only what is needed
A design philosophy that supports teams by improving accessibility to computing resources when shortages lead to situations such as:
“PoCs stall,” “training/inference can’t run,” and “delivery schedules slip”

2. GPX (Parallel Rendering Platform)

GPX is a rendering platform designed for workflows such as 3DCG and video production, where rendering wait time becomes a bottleneck. By enabling parallel processing, GPX aims to shorten production timelines. Reducing wait time directly affects delivery schedules, costs, and revenue opportunities. GPX embeds the premise of “scaling compute resources when needed” into on-site workflows, contributing to higher productivity.

Key points emphasized in this pitch

Reducing “rendering wait time = time when work is not moving,” increasing production throughput
(directly linked to delivery schedules, cost, and opportunity loss)
Operational design that works in conjunction with GPU POOL, enabling compute scaling aligned with peak production demand
