Vast-10M Breaks AI Context Barrier

IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 29, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Vast-10M, the first frontier AI model with ten million tokens of context, has been unveiled by AI research laboratory Voltropy. This groundbreaking model represents a significant leap in the field of artificial intelligence, as it can process ten times as much data at once as the leading models from Anthropic and OpenAI. The new model, which can handle the entirety of the U.S. tax code or earnings call transcripts for every company in the S&P 500, marks a substantial advancement in the realm of AI technology.

For almost three years, frontier models have been constrained to a million tokens of context. However, Vast-10M breaks this barrier, delivering true frontier intelligence. The technology behind Vast-10M is Voltropy Scalable Attention (VSA), a new algorithm that expands the context windows of existing transformers. VSA is available in three model sizes: Vast-10M-Flash, based on DeepSeek V4 Flash; Vast-10M-Medium, based on GLM 5.2; and Vast-10M-Pro, based on DeepSeek V4 Pro.

Prior techniques for extending model context often degraded intelligence, but VSA does the opposite. It actually makes models smarter at shorter context lengths, allowing Vast-10M to compete with the best models in the world, even on tasks that fit inside those models' context windows. On the industry-standard BEAM benchmark, Vast-10M-Flash outperforms Anthropic's flagship model, Fable 5.1, at the one-million-token tier. It achieves parity with OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra, which has a context window 10 times larger than Fable's and 9.5 times larger than Astra's.

The release states these figures: Vast-10M is the first frontier AI model in the S&P 500. The technology behind Vast-10M is Voltropy Scalable Attention (VSA), a new algorithm that can be used to expand the context windows of existing transformers. Vast-10M-Medium is based on GLM 5.2, and Vast-10M-Pro is based on DeepSeek V4 Pro. Vast-10M-Pro has a context window that is 10 times larger than Fable's and 9.5 times larger than Astra's.

Voltropy, a research laboratory based in Orange County, California, is dedicated to building artificial superintelligence aligned with the long-term flourishing of civilization. The company is known for its LCM: Lossless Context Management, an agentic architecture that was integrated with OpenClaw and Hermes Agent after outperforming Anthropic's Claude Code on the OOLONG benchmark. Vast-10M is Voltropy's first model family, and a full technical report is available at www.voltropy.com.
