Chinese researchers advance AI model using quantum computer

Beijing/Hefei, Apr 9 (UNI) Chinese researchers say they have achieved a global first in using a real quantum computer to fine-tune an AI model with one billion parameters, showing the potential of quantum computing to help better train large language models.
Using their indigenously developed Origin Wukong, China’s third-generation superconducting quantum computer with 72 qubits, a team in the city of Hefei has achieved an 8.4 per cent improvement in training performance while reducing the number of parameters by 76%, the state-owned Science and Technology Daily reported, according to the South China Morning Post.
“This is the first time a real quantum computer has been used to fine-tune a large language model in a practical setting. It shows that current quantum hardware can begin to support real-world AI training tasks,” said Chen Zhaoyun, a researcher at the Institute of Artificial Intelligence under the Hefei Comprehensive National Science Centre.
