Details
Syn Pro, a Japanese-specialized large language model (LLM) co-developed by Upstage AI and Karakuri, has been officially certified as a 'Domestic Foundation Model' under the 'GENIAC' project led by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and NEDO.
This certification is granted to models independently developed—through full-scratch development, additional training, fine-tuning, and the like—by companies or universities with development bases in Japan. Syn Pro was highly rated for its optimization for Japanese linguistic and cultural context, high safety, and on-premise support capability.
The key features of Syn Pro are as follows.
- Optimized Japanese performance and context understanding: Optimized for Japanese data, specialized-domain expressions, and cultural context, it delivers precise responses in fields requiring high reliability, such as finance, insurance, and legal.
- Full on-premise operation support: It can be operated within a company's internal network or dedicated devices without relying on external APIs and without leaking data outside.
- Lightweight yet high-performance: Despite its compact configuration with 31B parameters, it recorded performance surpassing that of larger-scale models, entering the global Top 20 on the Nejumi Leaderboard.
