This model is an exemplar retrieval system, not a trained neural network. When given a prompt, it computes TF-IDF-weighted cosine similarity against 669 stored question-answer pairs, retrieves the top-3 most similar records for the requested capability, and returns the stored answer. This is transparent by design — you can inspect every retrieval decision.
The arc_core/transformer.py contains a trainable GPT-2-style neural network that replaces this retrieval layer once trained. See docs/HOW_TO_GROW.md for the training path.

| Total | 669 | 14 capabilities |
| Limitation | Detail |
|---|---|
| Retrieval ceiling | Cannot generalise beyond stored exemplars. Novel prompts with no vocabulary match get the highest-IDF global match, which may be wrong. |
| Continuity (0.77) | Session-context preservation requires genuine memory of prior turns. Retrieval cannot do this across diverse prompt sequences. |
| Reflection (0.84) | Self-correction on novel claims requires reasoning, not pattern-matching. |
| Reasoning (0.88) | Multi-step inference on genuinely novel scenarios is beyond retrieval. |
| No neural inference | The transformer layer (arc_core/transformer.py) is not trained. Training it would break these ceilings. |
- Reference incumbent for candidate comparison and Gate v2 evaluation
- Demonstration that the governed promotion lifecycle (train → benchmark → gate → archive) works correctly
- Training corpus baseline for the native transformer
- Integration point for any domain that needs auditable, receipt-backed AI update cycles
- This model runs entirely locally. No data leaves your machine.
- All decisions are logged in the Omnibinary archive with SHA-256 receipts.
- The model does not perform safety classification and should not be used as a safety gate without additional capability evaluation.
- The governance layer (Gate v2) enforces capability non-regression but not alignment.
