forklog.media IBM Enhances AI Model with Quantum Processor

Researchers at Multiverse Computing announced a quantum enhancement of a large language model using IBM hardware. The project involves a hybrid scheme utilizing a 156-qubit Heron processor. The authors described the experiment as the first "end-to-end quantum enhancement" of a LLM on a superconducting processor for autoregressive text generation. The tests employed Meta's Llama 3.1 8B. The base model was not further trained; its parameters were "frozen" and quantum adapters—Cayley-parameterized unitary adapters (CUA)—were added. Initially, these were trained classically, then integrated into a hybrid quantum-classical scheme. The experiment was conducted on the IBM Quantum System Two, an architecture for hybrid quantum systems, utilizing the 156-qubit Heron chip. The hybrid version reduced the perplexity of Llama 3.1 8B by 1.4%. This was achieved by adding about 6,000 parameters—approximately 0.000075% of the model's size. During the demonstration, the quantum-enhanced Llama correctly answered questions on astronomy and biology that the base version could not, such as whether all giant planets have rings. According to lead author Borja Aizpurua, the work serves as a proof of concept. The quantum blocks enabled more accurate prediction of the next token in text with minimal computational cost. The team aims to further reduce perplexity and increase accuracy with fewer parameters compared to fully classical approaches. Back in May, quantum company stocks rose following the announcement by the U.S. Department of Commerce of a $2 billion allocation to American firms under the CHIPS R&D; program.

forklog.media DuckDuckGo Downloads Surge 30% Following Google’s AI Update

The number of DuckDuckGo app installations in the United States increased after Google unveiled a major search update focused on AI. This was reported by TechCrunch, citing company data. At the Google I/O conference, it was announced that the traditional list of search results would gradually give way to an AI agent that answers queries, performs tasks, and launches background assistants for monitoring. This drew criticism from users and experts who fear a loss of control over search results, errors in responses, and pressure on the open web. In response, the privacy-focused search engine DuckDuckGo recorded a rise in installations in the US from May 20 to 25, averaging an 18.1% increase compared to the previous week. The positive trend continued for six consecutive days, peaking at 30.5% on May 25. The situation is even better on iOS, with growth compared to the previous week averaging 33% and reaching a peak of around 69%. Traffic also increased to the page noai.duckduckgo.com, where all AI features, including responses and image generation, are disabled by default. Visits to the page rose by an average of 22.7%. DuckDuckGo CEO Gabriel Weinberg stated that Google is "forcing AI without an opt-out option." According to him, users want to decide for themselves how actively to use such features. However, DuckDuckGo is not completely abandoning artificial intelligence. The company offers the Duck.ai service without mandatory registration. It provides access to models from Anthropic, Meta, Mistral, and OpenAI. The company claims that users' IP addresses are hidden before sending requests to model providers, conversations are deleted within 30 days, and are not used for training. The search engine also has Search Assist (similar to Google's AI responses) and an AI Image Filter to exclude generated images from results. DuckDuckGo representative Kamyl Bazbaz noted that these features remain popular, but the key factor for users is the ability to choose. According to StatCounter, DuckDuckGo holds about 2% of the search market in the US. The company previously claimed that Google's dominance is reinforced by exclusive agreements that make its search engine the default in browsers. Earlier in May, Google tightened its policy on the use of search AI tools following a public experiment by BBC journalist Thomas Germain.

forklog.media TD Cowen Analysts Doubt US Crypto Market Bill’s Passage

Investment bank TD Cowen has downgraded its forecast for the passage of the crypto market structure bill (CLARITY Act). Analysts deem it unlikely that the document will be approved this year, reports The Block. According to TD Cowen Managing Director Jarrett Seiberg, the political climate surrounding the initiative has deteriorated. Previously, the Senate's relevant committee endorsed the project, despite objections from Democrats and banks. However, this does not signify final agreement among parties, merely moving the debate to the floor. Experts have identified several factors hindering Democratic support for the CLARITY Act: Trump fund: the settlement between US President Donald Trump and the IRS established a $1.77 billion fund for "victims of political pressure." Democrats view this as a dangerous precedent for the use of state funds; ties with the CFTC: a New York Times investigation pointed to potential influence by crypto lobbyists and the Trump family on the regulator; conflict of interest: reports of thousands of stock trades on behalf of Trump have led Democrats to demand stricter anti-corruption measures in the crypto law. Republicans also find themselves in a difficult position. They must either vote against conflict of interest amendments targeting Trump or delay the process. TD Cowen believes lawmakers will prefer to wait for the scandals to resolve. If the document is not passed before the August recess, consideration may be postponed until 2027. In this case, final industry regulation rules would not appear before 2029. On May 14, the Senate Banking Committee approved the bill by a vote of 15 to 9.
