What happened
Jasmine Lab began commercial operation of JANCTION Render, a cloud GPU rendering service you connect to ChatGPT or Claude with one URL; it renders 3D scenes on domestic NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPUs.
Why it matters
Users without 3D software skills can get 360-degree product videos for about 8.5 yen each, with no monthly fixed fee on the pay-as-you-go plan and up to 500 yen in free credits.
WHO IT HITSSmall business owners and social media creators who need short 3D product videos or logo animations can produce them through a chat interface without installing software or owning a high-performance computer.

JANCTION Render is the first concrete application from JANCTION, the GPU computing project run by Jasmine Lab. The service connects to the AI tools people already use through MCP, so producing a 3D animation starts with a single URL registration rather than installing software or learning Blender. From there, the AI assembles the 3D scene, renders it on JANCTION's domestically operated NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPUs, and returns a finished MP4 video.
The pricing is built around pay-as-you-go billing with no monthly fixed fee, and prepaid credits with user-set limits on per-job and daily spending, which the company presents as a way to avoid surprise charges. Measured examples put a 360-degree product video at about 8.5 yen and a 2-second logo animation at about 5.4 yen. The GPU rate of 0.1 yen per GPU-second is described as roughly half the per-hour rate of a major cloud provider's comparable GPU server in Tokyo.
Adoption appears to be progressing: external rendering completions reached 1,307 about one month after the September 30, 2026 public launch, with paid billing starting October 8. JANCTION says it aims to build infrastructure that connects AI agents to unused GPU capacity held by companies, data centers, and individuals, and it sees 3D rendering as the first step toward video processing and simulation workloads.
