Evidence · published records

Every number has a run behind it.

A performance figure appears on this site only with the machine that produced it, the load around the run, the exact binary and a checksum that had to agree. The record is public. The engine is not.

The published run.

This is the reference result for the open hardware challenge, recorded end to end rather than transcribed from a terminal.

What a PASS requires.

A run is published only when all four conditions hold. A figure that fails any of them never reaches this page.

  1. 01

    The process exits 0.A crash, a timeout or a partial run is not a result.

  2. 02

    The binary prints RESULT: PASS.The line is emitted by the run, not added to the record afterwards.

  3. 03

    The invariant reads MATCH.Scalar and SIMD checksums must agree before any timing is read out.

  4. 04

    All three checksums equal 1945.Scalar, single-thread and all-core must land on the same value.

The record writer refuses to publish a run that misses any condition: --publish exits instead of writing a number.

The kernel, measured.

Separate from the hardware challenge: this is the licensed kernel on the real 3.66 GiB packed file — its dot-product path against an independent scalar reference, and a full-file pass over every byte.

Full-file pass3.66 GiB, every byte: 3.26 GB/s warm on one thread, 4.23 GB/s on 4, cold first pass 0.36 GB/s (disk-bound)
Checksum8,730,749 reproduced over 3,926,621,056 bytes
AgreementReference, scalar and SIMD agreed on 23 lengths from 0 to 65,537 weights, and on 16 unaligned offsets.

A score is a dot product over packed weights, not inference. No norm, residual or layer order is involved, which is what makes it checkable against a reference. Full-file throughput is measured after the cold first pass, so it describes page-cache reads rather than the disk; repeat runs on this laptop ranged from 4.23 to 9.12 GB/s as the cache changed.

Software checks.

The engine ships with the suite that gates it. These are the counts from the last recorded run, 9 November 2026.

1,303 tests

Pass with exit 0 across 120 test files.

40,118 lines

Of source under those tests, across 175 files.

Licence path tested

Signed keys, seat limits, expiry, revocation and a remote control plane that fails closed.

What stays private.

The evidence is public because it can be checked without the recipe. The recipe stays with the company.

  • Source trees and headers.Never shipped, never published, never in a client download.
  • The quantization model and weight format.Held offline; not part of any licence.
  • Internal invariants and memory budgets.Described in public only in terms of their effect.
  • Any number without a record.If it cannot be reproduced from a published run, it is not claimed.

The challenge CLI is a standalone memory-bandwidth workload. It contains no model weights and no kernel source, so downloading it discloses nothing about how the engine is built. Source evaluation is available under a mutual NDA.

Reproduce it, or refute it.

9.84 GB/s is one laptop with 4 lanes, not a ceiling. Run the same CLI on your own hardware and compare.

Your run is yours: the CLI prints its own topology, throughput and checksum. Nothing is uploaded.
