Nota has optimised the Solar Open 2 large language model—a 250-billion-parameter mixture-of-experts system built for corporate agent AI—to run on two GPUs instead of eight by cutting weight memory by 76.5% through quantisation and pruning. The slimmed model is now available on Hugging Face, making enterprise deployment of agent AI more cost and infrastructure-accessible.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Infrastructure. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.

◆ The Wire takeaway

If you're selling enterprise AI agents, the cost floor just fell four times over—Solar Open 2 now runs on two H100s instead of eight, which means your customer's infrastructure budget moved from prohibitive to viable, and Nota's code is open on Hugging Face right now.
