SECQAI, a UK-based hardware and software company and member of the NATO DIANA initiative, has announced the launch of what it is calling the world’s first Quantum Large Language Model (QLLM).
This launch represents a major step in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) by integrating quantum computing into the traditional structure of Large Language Models (LLMs) to enhance computational efficiency, problem-solving capabilities and linguistic understanding.
Over the last year a team of engineers have been committed to pushing the boundaries of the next generation of accelerated compute, focused more specifically on the challenges around building a QLLM and approaches to Quantum Machine Learning.
They had hurdles to overcome related to the design and development of an in-house system that could simulate a quantum computer and support gradient-based learning and within this environment, develop a quantu attention mechanism to incorporate it within existing LLM models.
The applications of this quantum transformer and quantum simulator are significant; from innovating within semiconductor design at a small transistor size, to identifying hidden patterns within existing encryption standards, developing new material structures and the discover of new medicines across pharmaceuticals. Currently, the technology is in its early days.
“With the launch of the world’s first Quantum LLM, we are entering a new era where AI can leverage quantum mechanics to improve outcomes. This is an incredibly exciting step for Quantum Machine Learning and has the potential to revolutionise multiple industries. Throughout this important International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, we will continue to explore the overlap between the AI and Quantum Computing worlds to advance these use cases,” said Rahul Tyagi, CEO and Founder of SECQAI.
