Google TurboQuant boosts LLM speed 8x

Google Research unveiled TurboQuant, a data-oblivious framework that compresses LLM KV cache to 3 bits with 6x memory reduction and 8x speedups. The plug-and-play design allows for massive context windows on consumer hardware and is already seeing integration in llama.cpp and vLLM.

// ANALYSIS

TurboQuant represents a DeepSeek-level efficiency leap that removes the memory wall for local LLMs and agents. It achieves 6x KV cache compression with perfect retrieval scores and 8x speedups, while its data-oblivious design ensures high portability and immediate community support.

Plannotator 0.19.24 adds Amp support and configurable storage

Plannotator 0.19.24 is a substantial release that expands the tool beyond Claude Code with native Amp support, adds a `PLANNOTATOR_DATA_DIR` override so users can move the default `~/.plannotator` data directory, introduces Auto Mode in the permission selector for newer Claude Code versions, and fixes a Pi approval crash after plan acceptance. The update folds multiple stacked PRs into one release and pushes the project further toward a multi-agent review layer rather than a single-agent hook utility.

Aaronson says AI turns mathematicians into curators

Scott Aaronson says recent AI results in mathematics, including a GPT-5.5 Pro solution to Erdős’s Unit Distance Problem, suggest humans may increasingly focus on choosing questions and interpreting model outputs. He extends the argument to AI-written fiction and the Vatican’s AI encyclical as signs of a broader cultural shift.
