Summary:

  • Multiverse Computing introduces SuperFly and ChickBrain, the smallest high-performing AI models yet, named after a fly's and chicken's brain

  • CompactifAI technology compresses AI models without losing performance, enabling on-device AI for IoT and smartphones

  • ChickBrain, a 3.2 billion parameter model, outperforms its original in benchmarks, running locally on devices like MacBooks

  • In talks with Apple, Samsung, and HP to integrate these models into consumer electronics

  • Offers compressed models via an AWS-hosted API, providing cost-effective solutions for developers

Multiverse Computing, a standout AI startup from Europe, has unveiled two groundbreaking AI models so compact they're likened to a fly's brain and a chicken's brain. These models, part of their humorously named Model Zoo, are designed to bring high-performance AI capabilities to the smallest of devices.

The World's Smallest High-Performing AI Models

Multiverse's SuperFly and ChickBrain models are setting new standards for AI efficiency and size. SuperFly, with 94 million parameters, is tailored for Internet of Things (IoT) devices, enabling voice commands and troubleshooting without an internet connection. ChickBrain, at 3.2 billion parameters, offers reasoning capabilities and can run locally on devices like MacBooks, outperforming its original model in several benchmarks.

A Quantum Leap in AI Compression

At the heart of Multiverse's innovation is CompactifAI, a quantum-inspired compression algorithm that reduces AI model sizes without sacrificing performance. This technology has already been applied to popular models like Llama 4 Scout and Mistral Small 3.1, and now, OpenAI's latest open models.

The Future of On-Device AI

Multiverse is in talks with leading device manufacturers like Apple, Samsung, and HP to integrate these models into consumer electronics. Their API hosted on AWS also allows developers to access these compressed models, often at lower token fees than competitors.

With €189 million raised in recent funding, Multiverse is poised to redefine the boundaries of AI accessibility and efficiency, making advanced AI capabilities available on virtually any device.
