TAIPEI NEWS.  As AI technology continues to evolve, businesses face challenges when it comes to training models and running operations—especially regarding high costs, long training times, and data security risks. To address these issues, APMIC, a leader in AI solutions, has teamed up with CKmates to introduce the "Test-Time Compute AI Solution." This new offering is a combination of APMIC Toolbox s1, a training solution similar to Deepseek R1, and CKmates’ AI CKomputehardware rental service.

The APMIC Toolbox s1 is based on NVIDIA NeMo’s framework and supports the “Simple test-time scaling” method, a training technique developed by AI expert Fei-Fei Li. This method preserves the benefits of Deepseek while avoiding the cybersecurity risks associated with Chinese models. Additionally, it significantly reduces training costs—by 90%, from 800,000 data points to just 1,000.

Reducing the Barriers to AI Training

Traditionally, achieving high accuracy in AI models has meant investing in expensive equipment and training methods. However, with APMIC Toolbox s1 and the CKompute hardware service, companies can now rent high-performance AI servers that include 24 H100 GPUs. These servers are delivered directly to customers or can be remotely accessed, removing the need for companies to manage and maintain their own equipment. This model allows businesses to quickly launch training and run intense tests without worrying about GPU resource availability or the security risks of cloud-based services.

The Test-Time Compute AI Solution integrates both software and hardware to give businesses the ability to apply knowledge distillation—a process where large models are used to learn company-specific knowledge and then distilled into more manageable models (32B to 70B parameters). This can result in inference cost savings of more than 98% compared to ChatGPT, all while ensuring that sensitive data remains secure.

A Game-Changer for AI Deployment

By combining the APMIC Toolbox s1 with 24 H100 GPUs, businesses now have access to a powerful, multimodal AI system that can analyze text, images, and deeply reason about industry-specific knowledge. This solution boosts information retrieval accuracy by 70%, making it easier for companies to manage knowledge, write reports, and build AI tools through natural language.

Thanks to the flexibility of the CKompute rental program, companies no longer need to worry about large upfront investments in hardware. The service can be rented for as little as a month or even a few days, giving businesses the flexibility to scale up their AI resources as needed. At the end of the rental period, companies can either purchase the equipment or return it—making it a cost-effective way to access powerful AI computing without the burden of long-term maintenance.

Looking Ahead

APMIC’s Test-Time Compute AI Solution is set to significantly streamline the process of implementing AI in businesses. By simplifying training, reducing costs, and improving data security, this solution will help companies around the world embrace AI without facing the typical barriers.
