Multiverse Computing's Quasar 438B: Europe's Top AI Model

Multiverse Computing has launched Quasar 438B, a new flagship reasoning model. This model achieved the highest Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index score among European models in the current comparison. The Spanish company's 438-billion-parameter model scores 43 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v4.1.1. This places it ahead of Mistral Medium 3.5, NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Ultra, and Inkling. The index evaluates areas like agents, coding, scientific reasoning, and general knowledge. While not the world's highest-scoring model, Quasar demonstrates a credible combination of reasoning capability, speed, and enterprise usefulness. Quasar is designed for enterprise-scale agents and coding, focusing on multi-step tasks. It operates in English and Spanish and is available through Multiverse Computing’s CompactifAI API. The model produces 500 output tokens in 15.3 seconds, including reasoning time. This combination of capability and response time makes it suitable for complex agentic workloads. This development signals Europe's growing strength in the global artificial intelligence race.
