Minimum amount of clues for a 16x16 sudoku

As the comments say, the smallest number of clues found for a 16x16 sudoku (with 4x4 squares) is 55. It has not been proven that this is the smallest number, but no one's found a better one yet. I suspect that less research into a minimum number has occurred for the larger variants because they are less common and would require more computing power to brute-force.
