Spanish Multiverse Computing used a quantum computer (156-qubit IBM Heron) to create their latest Quasar 1.1 438B model
The post uses vague, declarative language without specifying how, when, or whether the claimed quantum-AI integration occurred — omitting all operational, temporal, and evidentiary anchors.
View original on reddit.comOverview
A Reddit user claimed that Spanish startup Multiverse Computing used a 156-qubit IBM Heron quantum computer to train their Quasar 1.1 438B AI model — but the post contains no evidence, source links, timestamps, or verifiable details about the claim.
TL;DR
- No primary source, citation, or technical documentation is provided for the claimed quantum-AI integration.
- The post appears to be an unsubstantiated forum assertion with zero supporting evidence.
- Multiverse Computing has not publicly announced such a model, nor has IBM confirmed quantum hardware was used for LLM training.
Questions Answered
Narrative Frame
strategic ambiguity
Spin Score
20%
Emphasizes novelty and scale (‘156-qubit’, ‘438B’) while minimizing or erasing accountability for verification, methodology, or provenance.
What the story wants you to believe
That quantum computing has already been successfully applied to train frontier-scale AI models.
What it makes harder to question
Whether quantum hardware is currently capable of meaningful LLM training — because the claim is stated as fact without inviting scrutiny.
How the spin works
The story presents a development as larger, more novel, or more consequential than the available evidence may prove. Watch for loaded terms such as quantum computer, 438B model, Quasar 1.1. The distribution reads as forum post. A pressure point: No link to Multiverse Computing’s official channels, no press release date, no GitHub repo, no arXiv preprint, no IBM partnership statement, no performance metrics or training logs.

Claim → Frame → Beneficiary → Gap → AI Risk
It presents a bold, futuristic claim as if it were routine news — using precise-sounding numbers (156-qubit, 438B) to imply technical credibility, even though nothing verifies it.
