Zapata Computing Holdings Inc. announced a significant expansion to their joint commercial partnership, designed to accelerate the development and delivery of integrated quantum and generative AI solutions in D-Wave?s Leap cloud platform. The new agreement leverages Zapata?s proprietary Universal Generative AI software for rapid development and builds upon D-Wave?s Leap? real-time quantum cloud service to support quantum, hybrid quantum, and classical AI solutions.

The joint development work will focus on improved and more energy efficient model training, more performant models, and the synergistic use of Generative AI and quantum optimization. The expanded partnership comes as quantum computing is beginning to demonstrate how it could enable more accurate and efficient AI model training, as well as leveraging the predictive capabilities of AI to deliver better-optimized business processes. Quantum computing stands to supercharge AI for certain enterprise use cases and drive sustainability, lower cost, and operational efficiency.

This means quantum computing could help boost AI advancement for complex, massively scaled computational models, deep learning, natural language processing, and computer vision ? without consuming enormous amounts of energy. The commercial expansion includes a one-year Enterprise subscription license to Orquestra®, Zapata AI?s robust software development and collaboration platform for building and deploying Universal Generative AI applications at scale, along with Enterprise Solutions support for use case research, prototype configuration, and application piloting.
