The sealed moonshot release is defined by layercake-moonshot-final. Every row
below is bounded by the exact release lineage and raw evidence paths.
| Claim | Evidence anchor | Certified result |
|---|---|---|
| Campaign completion | moonshot/campaign.yaml, Phase 8 seal |
All eight phases sealed; verify-all validates the completed campaign. |
| Phase 3 disposition | results/moonshot/phase3/release_certificate.json |
RETIRED_BY_GOVERNANCE; zero headline claims and no training-efficiency, acquisition, ABI, or host-certification proof. |
| Faster full-core training | TRAINING_NORTHSTAR.md |
OPEN; no training-dominance claim. |
| Independent reproduction | results/moonshot/phase8/raw_runs/cleanroom_environment.json |
Detached Phase 7 checkout, 597 passing tests, all prior typed gates recomputed. |
| CPU performance | phase8/raw_runs/reproduction_performance.json |
9.91x LayerCake/Qwen output-byte throughput; 0.0179x median latency ratio. |
| GPU performance | same | 8.25x LayerCake/Qwen output-byte throughput. |
| CPU versus transformer GPU | same | 7.67x output-byte throughput; 0.0222x median latency ratio. |
| Functional quality | same | LayerCake 100/100 on CPU and GPU; paired bootstrap lower bounds +0.68 and +0.67. |
| Domain retention | phase8/raw_runs/domain_retention.json |
384/384 CPU, 384/384 GPU, and 384/384 identical outputs. |
| Portability | phase8/raw_runs/lifecycle_portability.json |
Exact archives survive three-host install/verify/remove/reinstall with zero receiver learning. |
| Routing and catalog | phase8/raw_runs/routing_catalog.json |
1,980/1,980 correct rows and a 500-entry management catalog. |
| Attack resistance | phase8/raw_runs/adversarial_falsification.json |
32 attacks across 24 categories reached and resolved their intended boundaries. |
This release does not claim physical mobile performance, energy dominance, GPU-training dominance, general faster foundation training, latent cake fusion, universal model superiority, arbitrary host compatibility, or remote tag publication. See docs/VERIFICATION_AND_LIMITS.md.
All earlier claim tables are historical research context. They do not modify this evidence map or survive changes that trigger the invalidation matrix.
Capability acquisition from foreign teachers is researched in the separate
ABI repository. No external ABI result
changes or inherits this release's claims. See docs/ABI_HANDOFF_STATUS.md for
the repository and recertification boundary.
The read-only audit in
docs/POSTRELEASE_EXTERNAL_CORE_HOST_INTERFACE_AUDIT.md establishes only that
the sealed product originally had no canonical signed direct neural English-
core artifact role. The isolated lc-direct-neural-core/1 extension now passes
its mechanical host construct on CPU and CUDA. It does not invalidate the
release or certify English, external acquisition, speed, memory, TTFT, domain
compatibility, or ABI superiority. See
docs/POSTRELEASE_DIRECT_NEURAL_CORE_HOST.md.
