In a stunning breakthrough that's lighting up the tech scene, Origin Quantum, a startup based in Hefei in the Chinese mainland, has achieved a world-first by fine-tuning a billion-parameter AI model on its 72-qubit Origin Wukong quantum computer. 🚀
This achievement marks the first real-world application of quantum computing for large-model tasks, proving that today's quantum hardware can support advanced AI model fine-tuning. Chen Zhaoyun from Hefei Comprehensive National Science Center highlighted that trimming the model's parameters by 76% resulted in an 8.4% boost in training performance.
In simpler terms, this breakthrough is a game changer—making AI models lighter, faster, and more efficient. It opens up exciting new avenues for applications in areas ranging from medical diagnosis to financial risk analysis.
With Origin Wukong already delivering quantum computing cloud services to over 23 million users across 139 countries and handling 350,000 tasks, the future of computing looks smart and dynamic. 🤖💡
