On Thursday, Spanish Startup Multipuric Computing Announced That it has a huge series of 9 189 million (about $ 215 million) in the power of a technology that has been called “compactFi”.
The company says compactafi is a quantum compression -affected compression technology that is capable of reducing the size of LLM by up to 95 % without affecting the performance of the model.
In particular, the multi-virus offers the compressed version of the leading open source LLM-the smaller model-such as Lama 4 Scout, Lalama 3.3 70B, Lama 3.1 8B, Invalid Small 3.1. However, it will soon release a version of the Dip of the Dipic R1, in which more open source and reasoning models are coming soon. Open and others’ proprietary model is not supported.
Its “slim” model, as the company has called them, are available on Amazon web services or licensed for the use of on -premises. The company says its model is 4x -12x faster than the comparable version, which translates a 50 % -80 % reduction in reduction costs. For example, Multi Veri says Lama 4 Scout has 14 cents of its Lama 4 Scout Slim pricing 10 cents per million tokens on AWS.
The company says some of its models can make it so small and energy efficient that they can be run on PC, phones, cars, drones and even DIY-Inhusiast’s favorite Tiny PC, raspberry pie. .
There is some technical power behind the multi -virus. It was founded by Professor CTO Roman and S. Roman and S. in Donostia International Physics Center in San Sebastian, Spain. Oris is known for that Advanced work on tanker networks (Do not get confused with all AI related things called Tancer in Google).
Tenser is network computational tools that imitate quantum computers but run on classical computers. These days, a basic use of them is the compression of deep learning models.
Enrique Lizaso Olymos, co -founder and CEO of Multipuria, has also received a number of mathematics degree and has been a college professor. He spent most of his career in banking, known as the former Deputy CEO of Anim Bank.
Series B led Bill Hound Capital (which supported companies such as Spatif, Revolution, Delivery Hero, Avito, Discoded), as well as HP -Tech Ventures, Set, Forgepoint Capital International, CDP Venture Capital, Sentander Claimat VC, Toshiba and Toshiba.
Multiors says it has 160 patents and 100 consumers globally, including Aberdroola, Bush, and the Bank of Canada. With this funding, it has raised about $ 250 million to date.
