Spanish ‘soonicorn’ Multiverse Computing releases free compressed AI model

Multiverse Computing, a Spanish startup, has released a free compressed AI model called HyperNova 60B 2602 that reduces the size of large language models (AI systems trained on massive amounts of text) to make them cheaper and faster to use. The company uses CompactifAI, a compression technology inspired by quantum computing (using principles from quantum mechanics to process information), to create models that are roughly half the size of the original while maintaining similar performance and accuracy. The model is now available for free on Hugging Face (a platform where developers share AI models) and includes improved support for tool calling and agentic coding (where AI systems can use external tools or plan sequences of actions).
