IRVINE, California – Aug 22, 2025 – Fixstars Corporation (TSE Prime: 3687, US Headquarters: Irvine, CA), a leading company in performance engineering technology, has entered into a joint research agreement with I-ne Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Kita-ku, Osaka, President and Representative Director: Yohei Onishi, TSE Prime: 4933; hereinafter, "I-ne") for the advanced application of AI in the marketing domain.
Ryosuke Okuda, a pioneer in AI startups, will participate as an advisor to this project. He is currently the Chief Investment Officer (CIO) of Fixstars Investment and has previously served as Director and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Preferred Networks, Inc. and as a Project Manager at SAKANA AI. The project aims to accelerate the construction of a unique, practical marketing DX model by fusing the knowledge cultivated on the front lines of generative AI and machine learning with a global-level R&D network.
Purpose and Background
The project will integrate a next-generation AI agent into I-ne's proprietary brand management system, "IPTOS". By leveraging advanced computational technologies, including generative AI and quantum annealing, to reconstruct the initial processes of research, conceptualization, and hypothesis verification, the quality and speed of decision-making will be dramatically improved.
Fixstars will provide its software acceleration technology, which has a proven track record in various
industries, as well as its performance engineering expertise for optimizing algorithms for computing
resources, and knowledge of quantum annealing. The project also plans to utilize "Fixstars
AIStation”[1], a workstation equipped with local LLMs and high-performance GPUs to execute AI
training and inference in an on-premise environment. Mr. Okuda will be responsible for providing technical
strategic advice based on global AI research trends.
The goal is to "accelerate thinking" with a model that goes beyond simple AI implementation.

Future Outlook
The AI agent to be developed will be introduced into internal operations in stages. It will comprehensively
support processes from marketing strategy planning to the initial stages of product development, aiming to
achieve "decision-making support that surpasses the speed of human thought".
In the future, the project will conduct parallel proof-of-concept and verification with the goal of
practical application of a marketing decision-making model that utilizes quantum annealing.
Representative Comments
Yohei Onishi, President and Representative Director of I-ne Co., Ltd.:
"By integrating a next-generation AI agent into our proprietary 'IPTOS,' we will achieve sustainable growth
through high-quality and high-speed decision-making. This joint research, which brings together
world-leading knowledge and technology to incorporate AI as a 'partner to think with' in marketing, is a
major step toward making that future a reality."
Satoru Miki, President and Representative Director of Fixstars Corporation:
"Fixstars' performance engineering technology, which we have cultivated over many years, accelerates and
improves the efficiency of AI training and inference processes. I am confident that it will be a powerful
driving force in the development and implementation of a next-generation AI agent. I believe that by fusing
our advanced computational technology with I-ne's advanced marketing platform, we can achieve a
decision-making process with unprecedented speed and accuracy."
