Chinese researchers say they have achieved a global first in using a real quantum computer to fine-tune an artificial intelligence (AI) model with 1 billion parameters, showing the potential of quantum computing to help better train large language models.

Using Origin Wukong, China’s third-generation superconducting quantum computer with 72 qubits, a team in Hefei has achieved an 8.4% improvement in training performance while reducing the number of parameters by 76%, state-owned Science and Technology Daily reported on Monday.
