Chapter 64

Scorecard → v1.0 / minors

v1.1.1


Why it exists

Version is earned from a weighted board, not marketing. v1.0 is 100/100 on the engine board. Minor/patch tags (v1.1.0, v1.1.1, …) pack features without a new board. Apps, stubs, and NPU sit off-board.

What it is

version = 0.{round(earned)} until 100 → v1.0. Scorecard today 100/100; this book tags v1.1.1. Training credit is §9 on the board (8 pts), not an afterthought.

v1.0 cut

  • w2a [0] ALL — 246,032 cells, FAIL 0, RESULT PASS (§63)
  • Training credit — StepBP, Tween*, Split, Alt, HeadProxy, FastProxy, Linear, Sparse, Step* pipe twins, Mesh* (§67)
  • Cameral — Hemispheres, Mix BranchModes, Sandwich, ResidualGraft, cameral .entity (§68)
  • CamSync — soft/hard inter-cameral + cross-layer same-shape weight blend (§70)
  • Nested Sequential/Residual mixed children (Dense/SwiGLU/RMSNorm/LayerNorm)
  • lucy — SoftAcc / Availability / Score + BuildLPD density (§66 · §69)
  • v1.0.3 — Dense FormatNone SIMD forward: WireF64/DotTileF64, expand-once, BF16 convert; ~4.3× geo-mean on 34-dtype deep suite vs prior Go; Dense-backed projs inherit (§6 · §11)
  • v1.1.1 — Cam adjusting fixed: CamSync on all layers (§70)
  • v1.1.0 — CamSync + training_modes.md + Lucy Lean density + book §70 (§70 · §69)
Off this board apps/octo, stub/*, NPU/Metal/QNN (later welvet.cpp). FastProxy can match/beat StepBP Acc on sine/copy toys; Sparse wins Lucy Score via Avail. Do not write “Sparse is better backprop.” Engine v1 ≠ “beats PyTorch.”

func main() {
	earned := 100.0
	fmt.Println("v1.1.1")
	fmt.Printf("scorecard %.0f/100\n", earned)
}
