Researchers Report Using Quantum Computer To Fine-Tune Billion Parameter AI Model
HPCWire, Monday, April 7th, 2025
Researchers from China have reported using a quantum computer to fine-tune a 1 billion parameter AI model according to an article today in the state-run Global Times.
This would be a first for a project of that scale. Using quantum computers to generate high quality data for training and for fine-tuning AI models is thought to be a core use case for hybrid Quantum-AI.
Working on China's third generation quantum processor, Origin Wukong - a 72-qubit superconducting chip - researchers from Anhui Quantum Computing Engineering Research Center reported they were able to shrink the size of an AI model and improve its accuracy by training it with data generated on the quantum computer.
