Where this lab wins
- RAG: 1 tracked model with ruler / needle retrieval benchmarks.
- Agentic: 1 tracked model with BFCL, tau-bench, and SWE-bench tool-use coverage.
- Long-context: 1 tracked model with context-token or InfiniteBench-class signal.
- JSON/tool-use: 1 tracked model with BFCL / Nexus strict-JSON routing coverage.
Flagship quality / price signal
Flagship: SubQ 1M-Preview (best sourced coding quality-per-dollar in this portfolio).
Quality-per-dollar unavailable for this flagship — benchmark coverage or output token pricing is still missing.

About
Subquadratic Inc. is a frontier AI research and infrastructure company founded in 2026 and backed by $29M in seed funding from investors including Javier Villamizar (former SoftBank Vision Fund), Justin Mateen (Tinder co-founder, JAM Fund), and early investors in Anthropic, OpenAI, Stripe, and Brex. Led by CEO Justin Dangel and CTO Alexander Whedon, the company employs 11 PhD researchers and engineers from Meta, Google, Oxford, Cambridge, ByteDance, Adobe, and Microsoft. Their core innovation is a fully sub-quadratic sparse-attention LLM architecture that reduces attention compute by ~1,000x vs. standard transformers at 12M token context, while maintaining competitive benchmark performance on SWE-Bench, RULER, and MRCR.
