Tech startup SandboxAQ’s large quantitative models (LQMs) are now available on Google Cloud, marking the first time the company has offered its models on a third-party platform.

LQMs process large numerical datasets, conduct complex calculations, and perform statistical analyses. They serve industries like financial modeling and trading automation.

This partnership enables enterprises to build, deploy, and scale LQMs using Google Cloud’s infrastructure.

This collaboration aligns with the growing focus on quantum computing and AI technologies by companies like Google Cloud, Microsoft, and Nvidia.

SandboxAQ, spun off from Alphabet, has demonstrated its AI models’ impact across sectors such as life sciences and financial services.

The company raised US$300 million in Dec. 2024, reaching a US$5.6 billion valuation, with support from investors like Fred Alger Management and T. Rowe Price.
