Why quantum AI is a critical technology for deploying cost effective GenAI models in business?

Despite significant advances in the development of quantum computers, there are still substantial technical challenges to be resolved. This, along with the cost and scarce resources of these devices, raises the following question: Can we leverage the properties of quantum computing applied to AI today without relying on quantum hardware? The answer is yes, through the use of a mathematical framework known as Tensor Networks (TNs). In this presentation, TNs will be introduced, their application in quantum AI, and particularly in the compression of generative AI models, where Multiverse Computing has demonstrated that it is possible to compress Large Language Models (LLMs) by 93% in size and 70% in the number of parameters with only a 2% loss in model accuracy. This contributes to a reduction in hardware requirements, reduction in the inference and retraining time, and therefore, reducing the total cost of deploying and running generative AI in the business.<
