Subconscious is now on Vercel AI Gateway
Subconscious is live as a provider on Vercel AI Gateway. If you already route through the gateway, you can switch to GLM 5.3 and DeepSeek V4.1 Flash on our inference system with one line of code and get better agent performance.
Exploit Factories
With an increase in cybersecurity exploits used by cyber attackers, software teams should set up "Exploit Factories" to continuously probe and patch their products before the agent hoards get to them first.
Nori and Subconscious Partner on Long-Running AI Agents
Nori and Subconscious partner to let teams run long, tool-heavy AI agents in the cloud. Kick off a session in a few clicks and close your laptop.
Subconscious Raises $5.1M 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.
WATTER and Subconscious Power AI Agents with Your Water Heater
We have partnered with WATTER to bring our inference system and models to the WATTER AI platform, making it possible to run capable, long-context agents on a distributed fleet of GPUs built into water heaters.
Introducing TIM-Qwen3.6-27B
Today we're releasing TIM-Qwen3.6-27B on a new OpenAI and Anthropic compatible API, powered by a TIMRUN runtime breakthrough that delivers 10x effective context and 3x concurrent throughput on the same hardware.
A New Hope for SLMs
Last week Claude Opus 4.7 became the most powerful model ever released to the public. This week it doesn’t seem to matter very much.
Context Intelligence: March 2026 Agent Benchmarks
The benchmarks are in. Training models to manage their own context sets a new frontier across browser control, computer use, and coding.
Start Your (Agent) Engines
We think it’s a bit outdated to define an agent only by its underlying model.
Abstract as High as Possible
When you write at a lower level abstraction than you have to, you’re going to regret it.
Agents Without Training Wheels: The Model Agent
It's time to remove the training wheels from Agents. The model agents are here.
The Cure for Context Rot
Context rot is the slow death of an agent’s attention span, and a key problem holding agents back today.
Introducing Subconscious: Build Flexible, Capable Agents
Backed by MIT research on a co-designed AI model and runtime, Subconscious is an inference engine for AI agents that allows for strong reasoning across external tool calls and virtually unlimited context.
