Introducing Quasar 1.0 – our strongest model

Hardware

Trained on a range of hardware.

We don't stick to one machine. Depending on the model and the experiment, we train on whatever hardware fits the job best:

  • NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti
  • NVIDIA RTX 3090
  • NVIDIA RTX 4090
  • NVIDIA RTX 5090
  • NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell
  • NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada
  • NVIDIA B200
  • Intel Iris
