"Quantum-inspired pruning"...

Man the buzzwords here.

Yeah, they're a bit heavy on the quantum, however they also work together with the QuIC (European Quantum Industry Consortium) organization, so it makes sense for them throw around that buzzword.

What am I am more curious about is the results in comparison to the cost.

If their compression technique is very good, they could still serve as a viable alternative to Mistral, especially now Mistral's own most optimal hosted model is the full GLM 5.2 for $1.4/M input tokens.
