Multiverse Computing launched Quasar 438B, its first large-scale reasoning model for coding and enterprise AI agents, and reported benchmark and speed results to support its agent-readiness claims. It said Artificial Analysis measures Quasar’s output at about 183 tokens per second. The company is relying on its CompactifAI compression approach to try to make repeated agent reasoning and tool-calling faster and cheaper, though key details like the compression savings and required hardware were not disclosed.
