MIAMI STARTUP CLAIMS 1,000X AI EFFICIENCY WITH TRANSFORMER-FREE MODEL — RESEARCHERS DEMAND PROOF Subquadratic says its SubQ model is the first LLM to fully escape the mathematical constraint that has defined every major AI system since 2017, cutting attention compute by 1,000 times compared to frontier models. The claim is titanic; the independent verification is, so far, nonexistent. Either this is the biggest AI architecture breakthrough since the transformer, or the boldest slide deck in startup history.
