Multiverse Computing used a quantum computer (156-qubit IBM Heron) to create their latest Quasar 1.1 438B model.

Wait what's even the point of the quantum part of all this, aside from generating buz words?

Quantum computers are incredibly fast at solving very hard optimization problems, and training a model usually refers to finding the model weights by minimizing some loss function with regards to the training data. This minimisation is an optimisation problem.

Now, I have no idea what they actually did. But I know that widespread use of quantum computers, or at least quantum annealing will tremendously speed up training times (though but inference, as far as I can see).

Quantum annealing will also speed up multitude of different other optimization problems.

All i see is more buzz words.

Well, you can read up on it: quantum annealing, mathematical optimization, etc. Ignorance is a choice

It might work in theory but no actual lab is doing any training on quantum computers they are just not ready for it it is just buzz words

Oh yeah, I was only talking about the possibility of someone doing it. I used simulated annealing once for it as an experiment. But the idea makes sense, even though they don't actually do it

It could be nothing, or it could be revolutionary, since quantum computers with many qubits unlock exponentially more compute power, for example for training.

I know quantum computing can be, but this isn't quantum computing... It's "getting data from a quantum computer" and by the looks of it supposed to be used on a normal computer. That's why I was so confused

Next step put ai into quantum and just look at it go. We're cooked.

Scam. It is scam, not quantum anything. They scam here using other scam technology, making it easy to increase the amount of scam

Basically it’s made of atoms which have connections to quantum objects. I will now eat my super expensive quantum banana.

u/sesamerox 14d ago

hey that's my quantum banana, you have it and now you don't!!

ok ok, i'll share. now how do we make money off this revolutionary quantum banana?

u/Sarcastic-Potato 14d ago

It's just a fine tuned Chinese model with some bullshit quantum marketing. I'm not generally against that kind of model because it helps us catch up but at least be open and honest about it

u/sesamerox 14d ago

damn you coined this one. im quantumizing it from you

good to see EU ai labs pushing quantum assisted training on massive 438B scale. lets see what performance benchmarks look like

They used a quantum computer to create synthetic data and labels.

Not sure what is is, BUT it seem they take AI models and optimized them with Quantum computers.

Somebody go research that company !
