About LSO-MAX
The Large-Scale Optimizer™ has been developed jointly by Michael Best, Professor Emeritus, Department of Combinatorics and Optimization, University of Waterloo, and Jivendra Kale, President, Financiometrics Inc. It is an exceptionally fast quadratic optimizer for constructing long-only, long-short, and market-neutral portfolios with thousands of assets, and managing their risk relative to a normal, or benchmark portfolio. You can also use it for asset allocation, based on Markowitz mean-variance analysis.This is an unlimited version of the Large-Scale Optimizer™ that can be licensed as an app, or as a subroutine library that you can embed in your program. The Large-Scale Optimizer™ uses an active set method, which we have enhanced by using penalty function methodology, to gain dramatic increases in speed to reach a true global optimal solution for very large, real world portfolio optimization problems with variable transactions costs.

PSS Online
PSS publishes a state of the art portfolio selection software package PSS Release 2.0: Digital Portfolio Theory. PSS gives the investor the ability to efficiently achieve market timing and optimal diversification by applying digital signal processing to the classical Modern Portfolio Theory portfolio selection problem. The application of the mathematics of digital signal processing to financial network theory has resulted in a revolutionary new approach to risk management and portfolio selection. The addition of a time dimension to risk, allows memory to be included in the investment model. The PSS software package enables the user to find optimal diversified portfolios of investments based on systematic, unsystematic, calendar and non-calendar risk. Not only is PSS the most sophisticated large-scale portfolio optimization software but it also performs fundamental analysis as well. The software does not do any form of technical analysis or forecasting.

SubQ
SubQ is a large language model developed by Subquadratic, designed specifically for long-context reasoning tasks. It can process up to 12 million tokens in a single prompt, allowing it to analyze entire codebases, long histories, and complex datasets at once. The model uses a sub-quadratic sparse-attention architecture that improves efficiency by focusing only on the most relevant relationships in the data. This approach reduces computational overhead while maintaining strong performance on large-scale tasks. SubQ is optimized for use cases such as software engineering, coding agents, and long-context retrieval. It delivers fast processing speeds and operates at a lower cost compared to many traditional models. Developers can access SubQ through APIs or integrate it into coding tools for enhanced workflows. Its architecture enables scalable AI reasoning without the limitations of standard transformer models.
