Fixstars trims losses after announcing partnership with Macnica to support domestic firms adopting Tenstorrent AI products

Fri Oct 2, 2026 1:47 pm JST Catalyst

Fixstars Corporation <3687> trimmed afternoon losses after announcing around 12:45 p.m. a joint initiative with Macnica, a subsidiary of MACNICA HOLDINGS, INC. <3132>, to support domestic companies considering adopting AI products made by next-generation semiconductor firm Tenstorrent. The partnership covers the full process from hands-on AI model evaluation and performance optimization to AI infrastructure construction, deployment, and operations. Dip-buying was prompted by a positive market response to the announcement.

As corporate use of generative AI expands, demand has grown among companies seeking to run AI models within their own managed environments over confidentiality, governance, and operational flexibility concerns. However, adopting new AI hardware requires more than product selection - companies also need to verify AI model operations, validate performance on actual hardware, fine-tune software, build AI infrastructure, and receive post-deployment technical support. To address these needs, the two companies will combine Macnica's expertise in AI infrastructure development and evaluation with Fixstars' performance engineering capabilities to provide end-to-end support from hands-on evaluation through to deployment and operations.
