COLD CORE
The sealed artifact.
A single immutable file holding weights, graph, seeds and provenance. Copy it, archive it, hand it to an auditor — it runs identically anywhere the lattice reaches.
We freeze production models into bit-exact cold cores and serve them from a lattice that cannot drift. The model you audited is the model that answers.
Cryo-compute for systems that must not change: weights vitrified, provenance sealed, every inference replayable to the last logit.
REQUEST A COREA deployed model is a moving target. Drivers update, kernels reorder, a quiet re-quantization shifts a decimal — and last quarter's answer stops being reproducible. PERMAFRONT ends the thaw.
One command vitrifies the whole stack — weights, tokenizer, kernel graph, random seeds, and the eval harness that approved them — sealed into a single cold core.
Every core carries a frost seal: a signed digest of each tensor. Any node can re-derive it, so “same model” stops being a promise and becomes arithmetic.
The lattice pins cores to fixed hardware profiles and replays them deterministically. Same input, same logits — in March, or in ten years.

Five tools, one temperature. Everything below is built around a single artifact — the cold core — and a single invariant: it never changes by accident.
The sealed artifact.
A single immutable file holding weights, graph, seeds and provenance. Copy it, archive it, hand it to an auditor — it runs identically anywhere the lattice reaches.
Proof it never moved.
An ed25519-signed tensor digest baked in at freeze time. Verification is one pass and zero trust: the seal either re-derives on your hardware, or it doesn't.
Serving without weather.
A scheduler that treats determinism as the invariant — pinned kernels, ordered reductions, replayable batches. Throughput is negotiated; identity never is.
Change on purpose only.
Warm a candidate core beside the incumbent, diff the logits across your full harness, promote on evidence. Rollback is instant — the old core never left.
Drill into any yesterday.
Query the exact core that answered on a given date, at its original temperature. Regulators call it an audit trail. We call it core sampling.
If two runs of the same core disagree, that is an outage. We budget performance around reproducibility — never the reverse.
The cold core is an open, documented format. If PERMAFRONT vanished tomorrow, every core you froze would still thaw.
A model that changes without a signed thaw event is a breach, not an improvement — whatever the changelog says.
Numbers on this page are design goals for a fictional system, labeled as such. Cold math over warm marketing.
Point the CLI at your checkpoint and the eval harness that approved it. Vitrification is one pass over the tensors.
Re-derive the frost seal on your own hardware. No dashboard to believe — just a digest that matches or doesn't.
Send traffic to the lattice endpoint. Keep the incumbent core warm beside it until your diff is clean, then commit.
