DONOSTIA-SAN SEBASTIÁN, Spain and SAN DIEGO, Aug. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Multiverse Computing today announced a collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. to bring highly efficient AI models to data centers worldwide. Multiverse Computing’s AI models will be specialized for Qualcomm Dragonfly™ AI200 and AI250 accelerators. The collaboration focuses on Qualcomm Technologies’ AI acceleration hardware and Multiverse Computing’s model optimization technology to enable data center operators to run large-scale AI workloads with higher performance and lower power consumption.

For data center operators, the direct benefit is more capacity on the same hardware. By optimizing AI models before they run on Qualcomm Dragonfly AI200 and AI250 accelerators, Multiverse Computing reduces the compute and memory footprint each model requires. That frees up headroom on existing deployments, letting operators serve more inference requests, run more models concurrently, or scale their AI services without adding new accelerators or expanding data center infrastructure.

The efficiency gains were demonstrated live at Mobile World Congress in March 2026, where Multiverse Computing and Qualcomm Technologies showcased a compressed open-source large language model running on a Qualcomm® Cloud AI100 Ultra accelerator. In a real-time emergency medical reporting use case, the compressed model demo delivered up to 93% faster response times and up to 44% higher throughput than the uncompressed base model, while reducing memory usage by up to 45% and power consumption by up to 21%, with no loss in accuracy.
