A conservationist built Five Megapixel Conservation, an app that aggregates public geospatial and protected-area data to visualize conservation effort at global scale. The project used exe.dev’s AI agent Shelley to connect multiple datasets and prototype the app quickly, then expanded to process large national datasets more efficiently with partial-file access and parallel VMs.

- 6The New Stack·7/2/2026model_releaseSubquadratic details sparse-attention model and longer-term architecture plans
Subquadratic has released benchmarks and a model card for SubQ 1.1 Small, a sparse-attention model designed to handle very long context windows more efficiently than dense transformers. The company says the model performs strongly on long-context retrieval while using far less compute, and it is also preparing non-attention architectures for future systems.
