Subconscious Raises $5.1 Million to Build the Inference Platform for Long-Running Agents

MIT researchers discovered a way to dynamically compress up to 80% of an AI agent’s context to make it much more efficient and accurate. Now, they’re turning that core technology into an opinionated inference platform to power agents that run can faster, for longer, at a lower cost with no changes to the underlying hardware, AI models, or apps that use them.

Why I joined Subconscious

A simple AI agent that helps users click a few buttons shouldn't cost $0.50 per conversation. And building it shouldn't require some of the best engineering work I've done in my 10-year career.

The End of the Agent Dev Paradox

We want flexibility and rigidity, we want a do-it-all blackbox but with complete observability, and we want tools for fast prototyping and performance tuning all at the same time in the same agent.
