NTT and Cyberport convene financial services leaders to explore the pathway from AI sandbox to production
HONG KONG, Nov. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- NTT Com Asia (NTT), part of the NTT Group, a leading global technology company, is an official FinTech Partner of Hong Kong FinTech Week 2026, reinforcing its commitment to Hong Kong's financial services and technology ecosystem and supporting industry dialogue around the next stage of AI adoption.
As part of its participation, NTT collaborated with Cyberport to host "Beyond the Sandbox: What It Takes to Move Financial AI from Sandbox to Production," a closed-door leadership luncheon on 3 November 2026. The discussion brought together senior representatives from financial institutions and the wider financial technology ecosystem.
As financial institutions advance AI initiatives from experimentation towards real-world deployment, building on the momentum of the HKMA Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenA.I.) Sandbox, the luncheon examined the practical conditions required to be in place for financial AI to move from experimentation towards production. Conversations addressed governance and compliance, data and security, infrastructure and scalability, and operating responsibility, while providing a forum for leaders to exchange perspectives on the barriers and priorities shaping financial AI adoption.
Through its collaboration with Cyberport and participation in Hong Kong FinTech Week 2026, NTT aims to deepen engagement with the financial services community and contribute its technology and infrastructure perspective to the evolving discussion around production-ready AI in financial services.

NTT Deepens Financial AI Engagement as Official FinTech Partner of Hong Kong FinTech Week 2026
Each customer gets an entire cluster reserved for it alone, built and operated by Flatkey as a compliant inference cloud for AI workloads only
SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Flatkey Inc. (https://flatkey.ai) today launched Flatkey Compute, a NeoCloud that builds and operates dedicated NVIDIA B300 clusters for its customers. Every cluster is reserved for a single customer and shared with no one. Flatkey runs each cluster as a compliant, trusted inference cloud, and the company works only on AI, not general-purpose computing.
Why dedicated clusters
Most AI teams buy GPU capacity from general-purpose clouds, where many tenants share the same physical hardware. That works for experiments. Production inference is harder: latency has to be predictable, another tenant's workload can slow yours down, and regulated customers have to document who else has access to the machines.
A Flatkey Compute cluster removes those variables. The whole cluster belongs to one customer, so no other tenant's workload can affect its performance, and a security review has no co-tenants to account for.
Built and run by Flatkey
Ahead of today's launch, Flatkey has delivered compute capacity to dozens of major customers. It sizes each cluster to the customer's workload. GPU count, region and network topology are set per deployment instead of being picked from a list of standard instance types. Once the cluster is live, Flatkey operates it, so the customer does not need its own infrastructure team to run it.
A B300 inference cloud, for AI only
Clusters run on the NVIDIA B300 and are built for AI inference. Flatkey does not offer general-purpose computing, and it designs its infrastructure around AI workloads alone. On data protection, Flatkey is GDPR compliant, monitors its security controls continuously through Vanta, and does not retain request content.
Pricing and terms
Customers request capacity at https://flatkey.ai/compute, stating the GPU count, region and term they need. Flatkey replies within 24 hours, then sends a formal quote that sets the price, configuration, region and provisioning date. Reserved terms of one, three and five years are available, and longer commitments are priced lower. A reference GPU price index on the same page shows indicative rates before a customer gets in touch.
"Inference is moving from something teams experiment with to something their product depends on," said Hunter Guo, founder of Flatkey. "At that point, you don't want to be sharing a machine with strangers. You want your own cluster, you want to know where it is, and you want somebody to run it for you. That is what we are building."
Availability
Flatkey Compute is available now by request at https://flatkey.ai/compute. Smaller teams that need only a few GPUs can also rent them on demand, billed by the hour, in the Flatkey console at https://console.flatkey.ai/gpu-cluster.
About Flatkey
Flatkey Inc. is a NeoCloud that builds and operates dedicated NVIDIA B300 infrastructure for AI inference. Each customer runs on its own hardware, sized to its workload. The company also gives developers access to more than 100 official AI models through one API key. Flatkey launched in July 2026 and is headquartered in San Jose, California.
