The Register, a British technology news website with millions of unique visitors per month, recently published an article about OpenAI’s recent interest in quantum. To gain insight, The Register interviewed Murray Thom, D-Wave’s VP of Quantum Technology Evangelism, and Trevor Lanting, D-Wave’s Chief Development Officer.
Lanting explained, “As you’re training [an AI] model, the number of parameters that go into the model really drives the cost and the complexity of training the model.” He further elaborated that developers are currently getting around this by choosing which features they think are going to be important for training a particular model. Lanting then highlighted the potential benefit of allowing quantum optimization algorithms to determine which features to include or exclude.
Tobias Mann, The Register’s datacenter systems editor and author of the article, noted that optimization problems have proven to be one of the most promising applications of quantum computing thus far.
Thom added that quantum computing has the potential to drastically improve the efficiency of training large AI models, allowing them to derive more accurate answers from models with fewer parameters. Although the integration of quantum computing into AI training is still in its early stages, D-Wave’s team is actively working on expanding the capabilities of quantum systems to make quantum AI more viable in the future.
