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.

◆ ◆ 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.
