Multiverse Computing, a global leader in AI and quantum software solutions, won time on a supercomputer to build a large language model (LLM) for the Large AI Grand Challenge by AI-BOOST, an open challenge program designed to be a benchmark for the European artificial intelligence (AI) community. AI-BOOST, funded by the European Commission, awarded Multiverse Computing 800,000 hours of compute time on a supercomputer to build and train an LLM from scratch using quantum and quantum-inspired technology. “Winning this challenge recognizes the specific strength of Multiverse Computing in building faster and more energy-efficient LLMs by using quantum and quantum-inspired technology, today,” said Enrique Lizaso Olmos, co-founder and CEO. “We are proud of the confidence EU leaders have in our expertise and ability to create a new class of LLMs with faster training, smaller datasets and lower operating costs.” The teams awarded in the Large AI Grand Challenge will have 12 months to develop a large-scale AI model with a minimum of 30 billion parameters and train it on one of Europe’s supercomputers. This award also represents a significative step-up of the efforts of the European Commission to apply quantum and quantum-inspired technology to the AI field, and in particular to LLMs. The Quantum AI field is getting more and more attention as it is perceived as a potential solution to the increasing demand for larger computational and energy resources in AI.
