“The AI i dust y has accepted a false co st ai t fo yea s — that powe ful models equi e expe sive i f ast uctu e,” said E ique Lizaso, co-fou de a d CEO of Multive se Computi g. “That co st ai t is go e.

At the hea t of Multive se’s platfo m is CompactifAI, a comp essio tech ology that applies te so etwo ks, a mathematical f amewo k f om qua tum physics, to the p oblem of AI model comp essio . This applicatio was pio ee ed by co-fou de a d Chief Scie tific Office D . Romá O ús a d educes the size of la ge la guage models by up to 80-95% with immate ial accu acy loss.
