"""μLattice single-page live demo server.
Serves ONE self-contained HTML page (no CDN, no external assets) and a JSON API
that runs the REAL trained model (checkpoints/capacity8k.pt, scale from its
proto_cfg) through the REAL protocol module:
POST /api/store {n_pairs, filler, overwrite_frac, seed}
-> one causal forward over the generated stream; returns measured wall
time, us/token, lattice cells grown, per-query answers vs gold,
updated-vs-original correctness, and the learned 2D addresses of a
sample of stored keys (for the live lattice map).
POST /api/cost {sizes:[{n_pairs,filler}...]}
-> forwards at increasing stream lengths; returns us/token and cells for
each: the constant-cost proof, measured live.
Everything the page shows is measured on this request. Nothing is canned.

μLattice: Breaking the Quadratic Memory Barrier in AI
Tensorbend Research · October 2026 · live proof · real weights
Breaking the Quadratic Memory Barrier in AI
A sequence mixer with dynamically allocated memory. Each token reads and writes
exactly 9 cells on a 2D lattice; memory grows with content while per-token cost
stays constant. Measured: recall of 1.0000 at 8,192 pairs; 0.9980 on overwrite
queries; 1.0000 on real-text retrieval at 259K tokens. This page runs three
trained checkpoints. Every number is a live forward pass.

01
Stream your own document
Paste any text. Define facts as name → value pairs. Mark any to be
changed mid-stream. The model reads the stream, stores the facts,
and returns the latest value for each.
02
The store at scale ↗
The same mechanism at scale: store up to 8,192 pairs in one 133,120-token
causal pass, overwrite half of them, then query. Measured recall: 1.0000.
2048
0
0%
Left: learned addresses of 400 stored keys from this run (grid scale shown).
Right: 64 sampled queries; gold rows marked changed mid-stream were
re-written later in the stream — the store must answer with the new value.
03
Constant cost while memory grows ↗
Each token touches exactly nine memory cells, so per-token work cannot grow with
context. Measure it: the curve below runs the model at increasing stream lengths, live.
Blue: measured μs per token — flat is the guarantee. Green: lattice
cells, growing with stored content. Dashed red: attention’s O(T²) work, analytic reference.
04
Inside one cell ↗
Where does a value physically live, and where does the new value go on
overwrite? Pick one fact from section 01 (or any name/value). The model’s learned address
for that key, the 3×3 cells it touches, and the before/after answers — same cells,
value replaced in place by the delta rule.
05
Notes
This is a content-addressed associative mixer, not a language model.
It stores key→value associations and retrieves them at constant per-token cost.
Perfect scores are on the synthetic MQAR distribution (see
PAPER.md).
Current demo is 2D (9-cell neighborhood per token).
3D (27 cells) is supported by the kernel math without architectural change —
it reduces key density by 1000× and raises the estimated capacity from ~8K to ~495K keys
(details).
