European AI Startup Unveils Ultra-Compact Fly Brain Model
San Sebastián, Spain — Multiverse Computing, a European AI unicorn, has unveiled two groundbreaking ultra-small AI models: SuperFly ("Fly Brain") and ChickBrain ("Chicken Brain"). These models leverage quantum physics-inspired compression to deliver high-performance AI for edge devices.
The Technology Behind the Models
The company's proprietary CompactifAI compression algorithm reduces model sizes without sacrificing performance. Co-founder Román Orús explained: "Our quantum physics-based approach enables finer compression than traditional methods."
- SuperFly: Compressed from 135M to 94M parameters (comparable to a fly's brain), it runs on minimal hardware like Arduino processors.
- ChickBrain: A 3.2B-parameter model compressed from Meta's Llama3.18B, capable of offline reasoning on a MacBook.
Performance and Applications
In benchmark tests (MMLU-Pro, Math500, GSM8K, GPQA Diamond), ChickBrain outperformed its original larger model. SuperFly enables voice-controlled IoT devices (e.g., washing machines) without cloud dependency.
Key Partnerships
Multiverse is negotiating with Apple, Samsung, Sony, and HP (an existing investor). Its AWS-hosted API offers cost-efficient model compression services to developers.
Industry Impact
This launch signals a shift from cloud-based AI to edge-device intelligence, offering faster responses and enhanced privacy.
Key Points:
- 94M-parameter SuperFly targets resource-constrained IoT devices.
- 3.2B-parameter ChickBrain excels in reasoning tasks offline.
- Quantum-inspired compression maintains or improves performance.
- Major tech firms in discussions for integration.
- AWS API provides affordable compression services.
