The Spanish government is investing €67 million in Multiverse Computing, a company based in San Sebastian. This investment aims to enhance energy-efficient AI language models by compressing AI models to 10% of their original size, allowing for reduced resource consumption. The initiative is part of a broader strategy to position Spain as a leader in AI technology and independence in Europe.
The investment will be facilitated through the Spanish Society for Technological Transformation, with the goal of scaling the development of AI compaction tools. Multiverse Computing has already been recognized as a promising startup and is noted for its powerful AI editing software. Additionally, the government announced new grants totaling over €200 million to support AI integration across various sectors, including health and agriculture.
