Observe Intent

Establish one canonical subject and follow it through every observable surface.

The authoritative public map of what exists, what is qualifying, and what has been validated.

Replay

verified

Capture, run, minimize, import, export, and compare replay bundles.

crates/prism-mcp-replay/src/lib.rs

limitation: Restart recovery proven for in-memory and file-backed stores.

Provenance

verified

Receipts carry commit, build, model, target, inputs, route, conformance gates.

evidence-schema/

limitation: Schema version 1.0; canonical keys typed as newtypes.

Experiments

verified

Create, run, cancel, resume, compare, and promote experiments.

crates/prism-mcp-lab/src/lib.rs

limitation: Promotion is a typed operation; comparison preserves provenance.

Regression

compile-verified

Plan benchmarks, compare evidence, detect regressions, promote baselines.

crates/prism-mcp-bench/src/lib.rs

limitation: Compile-verified path; hardware-specific baselines pending.

Apple Silicon / Metal

measured

Metal dispatch on Apple Silicon; ANE prefill; CoreAudio streams.

crates/prism-metal-runtime/src/

limitation: Tok/s measurements pending a hardware-bound run.

MI300X / ROCm-HIP

compile-verified

ROCm/HIP dispatch on AMD MI300X; gfx942-oriented validation.

crates/prism-rocm-runtime/src/

limitation: Compile-verified; device-evidence on the silicon pending.

XDNA / XDNA2

compile-verified

Tile, FIFO, DMA, barrier, and resource legalization for spatial plans.

crates/prism-amd-npu-runtime/src/

limitation: Compile-verified planning; hardware execution requires XDNA-capable system.

Apple Neural Engine

compile-verified

ANE prefill for the Apple path.

crates/prism-ane/src/

limitation: Planned; not yet validated end-to-end.

Ternary distillation

compile-verified

Progressive ternarization with quality and admission gates.

crates/prism-ecs-compile/src/

limitation: Compile-verified; resumable; constitutional admission applies.

Mixed precision

verified

Mixed-precision candidates searched against the quality contract.

crates/prism-ecs-quantization/src/

limitation: Implemented; quality contract is constitutional.

ComputeImage

verified

Six-strata deployment artifact with typed identity and binding ABI.

crates/prism-ecs-artifact/src/

limitation: Implemented; ABI v1 documented in docs/cimage-layout-abi-v1.md.

KV-cache policy

compile-verified

KV-cache search, compression, and ownership as a constitutional concern.

crates/prism-kv-cache/src/

limitation: Compile-verified; full runtime integration hardening in progress.

One vocabulary, no status inflation

2 min read

The capability map uses one vocabulary and refuses to inflate status.

Status classification.

The capability map uses one vocabulary and refuses to inflate status. A Measured claim is not a Verified claim; a Compile-verified path is not a Validated path. Status is attached to a specific code path, feature set, model, hardware target, and evidence class.

The capability map

4 min read

Filter by domain or status; every entry carries source paths and limitations.

What is implemented today.

Filter by domain or status. Every entry carries source paths and an explicit limitation. The categories are:

  • Runtime — CPU, Metal, ROCm/HIP, ANE, NPU
  • Compiler — representation search, ternarization, KV policy
  • Artifact — ComputeImage, ABI, payloads, receipts
  • Authority — constitutional transactions, projection rebuild
  • Evidence — replay, comparison, regression, recovery
  • Models — supported architectures, ingest paths

Each entry's status is one of Implemented, Compile-verified, Measured, Verified, or Planned. A claim without source paths fails the constitutional rule and is rejected at build time.

Reading the map

2 min read

Implemented is not the same as released.

Status is scoped to a specific code path.

Implemented is not the same as released. Prism is pre-1.0 systems software. Status is attached to a specific code path, feature set, model, hardware target, and evidence class. The map intentionally preserves those distinctions.

Claims

The capability map uses one vocabulary and refuses to inflate status. A Measured claim is not a Verified claim; a Compile-verified path is not a Validated path.

Every claim is bounded by the evidence that supports it. A claim outside its evidence class is a constitutional violation.

Implemented is not the same as released. Prism is pre-1.0 systems software; status is attached to a specific code path, feature set, model, hardware target, and evidence class.
