Compresses large language models using tensor network methods so organisations can run advanced AI on edge devices, existing hardware and air-gapped infrastructure at a fraction of normal compute cost.

This is Multiverse Computing
Multiverse Computing was founded in 2019 in Donostia-San Sebastián, Spain, by Enrique Lizaso, Román Orús, Alfonso Rubio-Manzanares and Sam Mugel. The company began by applying quantum computing to financial optimisation problems — BBVA was among its first clients — then broadened into AI model compression as it became clear that tensor network mathematics, originally developed for quantum physics, could dramatically shrink the size of large language models without meaningful accuracy loss.
