Steering AI Beyond Automation

AI as Normal Technology 2 days ago 41

The authors argue that AI research is overfocused on automating human labor and propose shifting toward AI designed for human-AI collaboration instead. They point to low latency—describing it as necessary to support real-time interaction like a natural conversation—as a key research target. This changes AI development by prioritizing white-box, low-latency, continually collaborative, and collaboration-focused evaluation directions over black-box delegation systems.

“Take work away from frontier LLMs”: Subquadratic’s decision model claims 12x Jev’s context window

The New Stack 2 days ago 21

Subquadratic launched SubQ Snap, a decision model that it claims can process up to 384,000 tokens per request and beat Jev’s per-decision context limit by 12x. Snap is priced at $0.05 per million input tokens, with no output charge. The larger context window is intended to let AI agents make decisions using more complete codebases and documents in a single step, reducing the need for chunking and some intermediate retrieval steps.

ScaleFlux bets smarter SSD controllers can break the AI memory bottleneck

SiliconANGLE 2 days ago 35

ScaleFlux argues that smarter SSD and CXL memory controllers can reduce AI data-movement bottlenecks by using NAND flash as active memory for key-value cache offload. It cites GPU memory-speed gaps of about 37 to 40 times slower for DRAM and about 800 times slower for storage. As a result, AI workloads could place more frequently used data on NAND via intelligent controller-driven placement and writes rather than waiting on slower memory/storage paths.
