Unsung Fields and Tenstorrent Partnership: A Transformative Step for AI Infrastructure
On July 23, 2025, in Tokyo, Japan, Unsung Fields Co., Ltd., led by CEO Kazunori Shioda, announced a significant strategic partnership with Tenstorrent Inc., a leading company in AI semiconductors headquartered in the United States, with CEO Jim Keller at the helm. This partnership, which involves co-branding and the construction of an AI cloud platform, aims to create an open and sustainable AI infrastructure to build an 'Open Infrastructure Community'.
Background and Goals: An Inclusive AI Society
In recent years, the advancements in AI technology have been remarkable, yet the benefits have predominantly been available to a select few large corporations and developed regions. For many organizations and individuals, AI remains an elusive technology that is 'desirable yet inaccessible' due to structural barriers such as high implementation costs, a shortage of specialized talent, and disparities in access to computing resources and infrastructure.
To address these issues and realize a society where everyone can equitably access AI, Unsung Fields forged a technical partnership with Tenstorrent in March 2025, focusing on the development of advanced AI computing architecture. Subsequently, they built a data center based on Tenstorrent's AI servers and initiated operational services.
Tenstorrent distinguishes itself by developing innovative AI accelerators that surpass conventional CPU and GPU technologies, facilitating high-performance and efficient processing for inference and learning alike. The company advocates that 'all developers should have access to technology' and emphasizes transparency and openness. Unsung Fields deeply resonates with this philosophy and actively promotes the project to build a collaborative AI cloud infrastructure.
Overview and Objectives of the Partnership
This newly formed capital and business partnership expands the relationship between Unsung Fields and Tenstorrent into a strategic and long-term collaboration, defining roles, technical synergies, and strategic objectives as follows:
Roles and Technical Synergy
- - Tenstorrent: Provides its expertise in developing innovative AI accelerators and high-performance, efficient AI computing technologies, along with technical support.
- - Unsung Fields: Responsible for designing and operating the cloud architecture, leading the deployment and brand development in both Japanese and global markets.
Together, both companies will integrate their strengths to provide comprehensive solutions ranging from the infrastructure layer to the entire ecosystem.
Strategic Goals
1.
Establish and Promote Open and Transparent AI Infrastructure: Design and build all elements—from hardware to cloud, AI models, and development ecosystems—using an open-source model to ensure equal access for everyone.
2.
Introduce New Opportunities in Global Markets: Launch scalable and sustainable AI cloud infrastructure starting from Japan and Asia, proposing new tech standards and competitive environments independent of specific companies.
3.
Create an 'Execution Engine' to Accelerate AI Implementation: Combine Tenstorrent’s innovative processors with Unsung Fields’ cloud operational capabilities to build a system that transforms ideas and technologies into societal implementations.
Future Developments: Launching the 'Open Infrastructure Community'
As an initial endeavor from this partnership, Unsung Fields will establish the 'Open Infrastructure Community', tailored for the AI era. This community will aim to create a sustainable and transparent AI ecosystem where diverse stakeholders such as developers, startups, researchers, and those from emerging countries can participate equally.
Features of the Open Infrastructure Community
- - Creation of a Hybrid Community: Fostering interactions between AI/ML, cloud, and hardware specialists with general engineers and bridging practical and academic, corporate environments with individual contributors.
- - Collaboration with Specialized Institutions: Partnering with experts to ensure reliability and expertise.
- - Integration with UF Cloud: Connecting community activities to technical validation and implementation within UF Cloud, promoting societal implementation through 'working prototypes' rather than mere discussion.
Statements from Both Companies
Kazunori Shioda, CEO of Unsung Fields, stated, “I am convinced that the future of AI infrastructure lies in an open co-creation space where anyone can freely access and participate in creation. Our partnership with Tenstorrent represents this challenge towards that future. By harnessing open technologies, reliable infrastructure, and the power of diverse people, we will deliver usable AI to the world.”
David Bennett, Chief Commercial Officer of Tenstorrent, expressed his excitement: “I am thrilled to collaborate with Unsung Fields to build an AI cloud platform utilizing our high-performance and scalable high-density servers. Ensuring that developers have access to our hardware is a top priority. I look forward to this partnership contributing to the further development of the Japanese ecosystem and accelerating AI innovation.”
Conclusion
This partnership signifies more than a mere collaboration; it marks the first step towards a 'co-creative global alliance' uniting 'philosophy, technology, and markets'. What the world needs now is not isolation but a growth engine accessible to all. Unsung Fields and Tenstorrent are committed to designing, promoting, and delivering this engine towards the future.
