The 10 second story
Multiverse Computing has launched compressed versions of major AI models including ChatGPT, Claude, and Llama that run up to 80% cheaper than the originals. The company now offers these models through both a consumer app and business API, making efficient AI accessible to businesses that previously found the technology too expensive.
Why it matters
Running AI models costs serious money, especially when you scale beyond occasional use. Most businesses avoid AI automation because the compute costs spiral out of control once you process meaningful volumes of data. Multiverse’s compression technology solves this by shrinking models without losing performance, turning AI from a luxury expense into a practical business tool. This matters because it removes the main barrier stopping UK businesses from automating customer service, document processing, and other repetitive tasks that drain staff time.
What this means for your business
- AI-powered automation projects that were previously too expensive to justify now have compelling return on investment calculations
- The competitive advantage gap narrows between large corporations and smaller businesses, as AI tools become affordable for routine operations
- Vendor dependency risks decrease because multiple compressed model options are available, reducing the leverage any single AI provider holds over pricing
