✅ Numerically stable across all 300 steps — monotonic descent, no divergence, no NaN.
⚠️ Transparency: pilot corpus ≈100 samples → final PPL reflects rapid fit/memorization at toy scale. This run validates optimization stability of the architecture, not final quality.
3. Local Inference Results (measured)
Runs without PyTorch — pure numpy reading GGUF directly:

Output quality is weak because of training scale (not inference): words are real vocabulary tokens and structure is coherent — proof the numpy engine exactly matches PyTorch semantics.

7. llama.cpp status
llama-cli reads the GGUF metadata successfully but reports
unknown model architecture: 'ivis-nepetai' — the hybrid layout needs a new C++ graph implementation upstream. Until then, use infer_numpy.py.
8. Scope note (research transparency)
Implemented in code but not yet validated at scale: 128K context (RoPE θ=500K, sliding window + sink attention), vision (MoonViT), audio encoder, GraphRAG/ToT reasoning. This release validates the core hybrid text stack only.
