Miami startup Subquadratic claims 1,000x AI efficiency gain with SubQ model; researchers demand independent proof.
A little-known Miami-based startup called Subquadratic emerged from stealth on Tuesday with a sweeping claim: that it has built the first large language model to fully escape the mathematical constraint that has defined — and limited — every major AI system since 2017.The company claims its first model, SubQ 1M-Preview, is the first LLM built on a fully subquadratic architecture — one where compute grows linearly with context length. If that claim holds, it would be a genuine inflection point in
GPT-5.5 Instant shows you what it remembered — just not all of it
OpenAI updated the default model for ChatGPT to its new GPT-5.5 Instant, along with a new memory capability that finally shows which context shaped responses — at least some of them. This limitation signals that models are starting to create a second, incomplete memory observability layer that could conflict with existing audit systems and agent logs. GPT-5.5 Instant replaces GPT-5.3 Instant as the default ChatGPT model and is a version of its new flagship GPT-5.5 LLM. It’s supposed to be more d

One command turns any open-source repo into an AI agent backdoor. OpenClaw proved no supply-chain scanner has a detection category for it
Just two months ago, researchers at the Data Intelligence Lab at the University of Hong Kong introduced CLI-Anything, a new state-of-the-art tool that analyzes any repo’s source code and generates a structured command line interface (CLI) that AI coding agents can operate with a single command. Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot CLI are all supported, and since its launch in March, CLI‑Anything has climbed to more than 30,000 GitHub stars. But the same mechanism that makes
