Quasar 438B, measured: 🧠 Intelligence Index v4.1.1: 43. The highest score of any European model, 13 points ahead of Mistral Medium 3.5 and 5 ahead of Nemotron 3 Ultra, which carries 112B more parameters. ⚡ 500-token response, reasoning included: 15.3s. Only three models in the comparison answer faster, and only one of them scores higher. 📚 AA-LCR long-context reasoning: 75.0. Level with Grok 4.6 (high) and within a point of Claude Opus 5. 💻 Terminal-Bench v2.1: 69.3. Agents working in real terminal environments, 18.7 points ahead of Mistral Medium 3.5. Efficiency is what we build at Multiverse Computing. Quasar brings it to the 400B+ class.

🚀 Introducing Quasar 438B, the top European AI model. Externally validated by @ArtificialAnlys: in their latest benchmark comparison, Quasar is the strongest-performing European model evaluated. It is the first large model released by Multiverse Computing. 438 billion parameters, English and Spanish, built for enterprise-scale agents, coding and complex multi-step workloads.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
its compressed glm 5.2 their business is to make compressed models and have other similar ones but unlike those they are trying to misrepresent this one as a completely new european model made by them x.com/xlr8harder/sta…

Is your AI safe once it's actually running, not just before you deploy it? 🛡️ In his latest @Forbes Technology Council article, our CTO and co-founder @SamMugel explores why enterprise AI's governance gap is real, and why runtime safety is the missing layer. Pre-deployment testing catches what red-teaming anticipates. It misses what happens once a live workflow meets real users, adversarial inputs and other AI agents acting on its behalf. At @MultiverseCompu we build AI with efficiency and security as first principles. As enterprises move to multi-agent workflows and RAG pipelines, governance has to watch retrieval, inter-agent communication and tool calls in real time, not just the final answer.

Most AI governance focuses on models. I think the bigger challenge is what happens after deployment. In my latest @ForbesTech article, I explore why runtime safety is becoming essential for enterprise AI. forbes.com/councils/forbeste…

What happens when AI moves beyond “general purpose” and starts truly understanding the industries it serves? 🏭 In his latest @Forbes Technology Council article, our CTO and co-founder @SamMugel explores why domain-specific AI is becoming a strategic priority for enterprises. Organizations are realizing that generic AI models often fall short in environments where accuracy, compliance, context, and efficiency matter most⚡️ At @MultiverseCompu we believe the future of enterprise AI lies in smaller, more specialized, and more efficient models tailored to real operational needs while reducing compute costs and energy consumption. As enterprises scale AI adoption, the winning strategy will not just be bigger models. It will be smarter, domain-aware AI that delivers measurable business value 📈 Read Sam’s full article here 👇 forbes.com/councils/forbeste… #AI #EnterpriseAI #GenerativeAI #DomainSpecificAI #EfficientAI #CompactifAI #MultiverseComputing
