Research run — 22 September 2026. This comparison was produced with the same instrument release (xray_vg1, rs-1.7, mv-1.4) outside the customer path, because the customer path failed for a pair of two 7B-class checkpoints on that day (under investigation). It is an unsigned report: no operational receipt, no repeat or control summary, and it was not accepted through the signing server. Numbers are stated as recorded; nothing here is a quality, safety or deployment grade.

What differs between A and B (public metadata)

Configuration comparison from the artifacts' own public files — the two configurations are identical in the compared fields.

Numeric-precision fields are not compared here; any file difference is recorded in the artifact identity.

This comparison is recorded as a combined artifact change (recorded differences: tokenizer semantics); the difference is not attributed to weights alone.

Artifact facts and run conditions

Measured weight changes Same artifact pair and recorded response measurement

Overall relative weight change: 0.4330%. Internal response: Difference observed. Text output: Withheld: output contracts differ.

Coverage: 291 unique parameter tensors; 7248023552 values. All declared floating parameters were checked; 0 shared names were counted once. Buffers are outside this weight summary.

Numerical validity: all checked values are finite. Observed precision: bfloat16. Zero values: reference 0, candidate 0.

Relative change uses the reference norm; a zero reference has no relative percentage. Shared parameters belong to their first recorded group. The last block output is not separately measured; its row shows the final normalized output. Weight changes locate parameters to inspect, while response differences can propagate from earlier blocks. Neither identifies the cause of a task outcome.

Use the changed groups to choose targeted follow-up evaluations. No observed response difference does not establish equivalence, and a larger weight change is not a quality or severity score.

Record identity: 130a5df0d8dd — the first 12 characters of the ordered-pair identifier, derived from the two artifacts and their revisions; a different pair, or the same pair at a different revision, yields a different identifier.
This document is a record of a measurement, not an opinion about the models: its fields are determined by the two public artifacts and the contract versions named above. In the null control for this instrument release, repeat scans on the same board class reproduced byte-identical recorded metrics.

Interpretation

This result records only whether the frozen instrument observed a difference. A difference is reported when any evaluated probe's response differs between A and B beyond the instrument's observation floor; the floor's value and the probe design are private. The result does not locate the change. It does not identify a cause, establish that weights were the only changed artifact, measure capability or quality, or authorize a shipping decision. Compare A to B only; do not compare numbers between reports.

What is shown and what stays proprietary

What this report shows
  • the verdict, and the recorded differences in configuration, tokenizer and generation settings
  • onset depth, the depth map and the extent of the observable difference (when enabled for the instrument release)
  • the output-text status, provenance, record identity and the operational receipt
What remains proprietary
  • probe design and probe text
  • the observation floor and thresholds
  • raw statistics, raw profiles, transformations and internal traces
  • sampling geometry and item-level records

The finding is yours; the instrument stays proprietary and is held fixed and versioned so that two reports produced under the same contract can be compared with each other. This standalone derivative carries no attestation; signing status is unavailable unless a separate signed receipt accompanies it.

Version notice: produced under instrument release xray_vg1 with the contract versions shown above. Records produced under different contract versions are not interchangeable with this one, and earlier records may have been restated or withdrawn.
What this report does not do
Honesty box — scope and limits
This is a validation-pending descriptive measurement record, not a task-accuracy, safety, causal, deployment-readiness or regulatory result. Historical development findings used a superseded estimator and do not validate this release. The proprietary measurement recipe and raw evidence are intentionally withheld. Confirm decisions with task-specific evaluations on the exact deployed artifacts.
