Multiverse Computing's Quasar 438B tops European AI models on intelligence index

Multiverse Computing has launched Quasar 438B, a reasoning model for enterprise agents and coding that operates in English and Spanish. It scored 43 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, the highest mark of any European model, surpassing Mistral Medium 3.5, NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Ultra and Inkling, though still trailing global leader Claude Opus 5 at 63. It also responds quickly, generating 500 tokens including reasoning time in 15.3 seconds, and is accessible via the CompactifAI API.

Chinese AI labs bypass small models, ship trillion-parameter open weights in 2026

GoKawiil's summer analysis of Hugging Face data shows public model repositories rose from 2.43M to 2.96M between January and August 2026, with datasets and Spaces also expanding sharply. Despite that growth, download activity remains concentrated in a tiny fraction of repositories, and Chinese labs including Moonshot, MiniMax, Xiaomi and Z.ai are releasing massive models, some exceeding a trillion parameters, without first publishing smaller versions.
