Hello! Starting with this article, we will be walking through Active Directory over the next several installments. Active Directory (AD) is a directory service developed by Microsoft. It is no exaggeration to call it the de facto standard in the IT infrastructure of today's large enterprises, and it

Hello! Last week we exhibited at Jichitai Sogo Fair 2025, and in this post we look back on the event with a quick photo report. Jichitai Sogo Fair 2025: Event Overview Jichitai Sogo Fair (Japan's comprehensive local-government trade fair) is a general exhibition for public-private collaboration, held this
AI Mathematics
Hello! In the previous installments of this series, we covered * how audio features are extracted with wav2vec (Part 1) and * how to correct cumulative drift in lipsync production (Part 2) . This time, we finally step into the heart of the matter: integrating these techniques to actually generate mouth movements from
LLM Security
Hello! Today we look at data loss prevention in the AI era — with a particular focus on the communications technology involved — and discuss how organizations should approach AI security. 1. Introduction With the rapid spread of generative AI, corporate data governance has entered a new phase. Large language models (LLMs)

Hello! In the previous installments of our LLM Inference Infrastructure Provisioning Course, we covered defining inference speed, estimating request volume, calculating memory consumption, and selecting an inference engine. This time, we work through the remaining steps — GPU node sizing, load testing, and trade-off analysis — in one go, and close with
AI Mathematics
Hello! In the previous article, we explained the lipsync technology used in our MotionVox service, focusing on how audio features are extracted with wav2vec. You should now have a good grasp of the foundational technology for predicting accurate mouth movements from speech. This time, as a sequel, we focus on
Generative AI Frontlines
Hello! Today we take a closer look at Guardian Agents, a concept Gartner recently announced. Gartner's Official Definition In June 2025, Gartner—well known for its Hype Cycle—published its perspective on Guardian Agents.Guardian agents are AI-based technologies designed to support safe and trusted interactions with AI—
LLM
Hello! In the previous installments of this course, we covered in detail how to estimate the request volume an LLM service needs to handle and how to calculate the memory a model consumes during inference. This time we dig into the fourth of the seven steps: selecting an inference engine.
AI Mathematics
Hello! Today I would like to give a comprehensive overview of lipsync technology, which we actually use in our MotionVox product. Lipsync technology, which generates natural mouth movements synchronized to speech, is an important technology for AI avatars and 3D animation production. In this article, we take a technical deep
LLM
Hello! Last time we covered how to estimate the request volume for an LLM service. This time we dig into the third of the seven steps: estimating the memory your model consumes during inference.

Hello! Today we walk through the algorithms and know-how behind stabilizing auto-framed video. Chapter 1: Background and Objectives When shooting bust-up video — especially talk footage for online meetings or YouTube — natural movements such as nodding or shaking the head often cause the neck area and shoulders to shift up and
LLM
Hello! Today we begin a multi-part series on inference infrastructure provisioning — GPU provisioning in particular — for building your own LLM service in-house. Introduction As LLMs have evolved, the use of public LLMs such as ChatGPT and Claude has spread rapidly through the enterprise. Forward-looking companies, however, are moving beyond these
