Pre-release / Local reasoning / Receipts

MARS symbol

Local intelligence.Verified knowledge.Governed action.

MARS is a memory-augmented reasoning system: a compact local model that navigates versioned, proof-bearing knowledge in Hyphae under the governed HiveMind runtime.

01 / AUTHORITY

One answer. Four authorities that do not collapse.

MARS proposes answers, Hyphae binds them to durable knowledge, and HiveMind owns execution, authorization, verification, and receipts; MARS abstains when it cannot verify.

  1. 01

    PROPOSES

    MARS

    A compact local model interprets the question and drafts a candidate answer. It cannot authorize itself.

  2. 02

    BINDS

    Hyphae

    The knowledge plane retrieves versioned material, preserves provenance, and returns exact evidence.

  3. 03

    VERIFIES

    HiveMind

    The runtime governs execution, permissions, budgets, independent verification, and abstention.

  4. 04

    PROVES

    Receipt

    The output retains the source-to-answer path or records why the system refused to claim.

02 / RECEIPTS

Passes matter. Rejections do, too.

The governed runtime reports 20 of 20 test suites passing, and the MARS-1 Q4 consumer-hardware gate measured 50.2 tokens per second at a 3,098 MiB peak on an 8,151 MiB GPU.

PASS

20 / 20

Runtime suites

Executive, verifier, exact binding, and planner under the governed contract.

PASS

50.2 tok/s

MARS-1 Q4 gate

Measured on an RTX 5050 laptop; 3,098 MiB peak over 8,151 MiB.

PASS

491 / 491

Parent preservation

The promoted nine-channel component exactly preserved pinned base-model outputs.

REJECTED

86.1%

Q4 source pointer

It missed the at-least-99% gate. Full-body promotion was rejected.

03 / CONTRACT

Local-first without giving the model total authority.

01

Local by design

The compact model runs on user hardware and the governed API remains on loopback.

02

Versioned memory

Hyphae preserves durable knowledge and recoverable evidence, not ephemeral context relabeled as memory.

03

Separate governance

HiveMind controls lifecycle, permissions, context, timeouts, and verification without delegating them to the model.

04

Provable abstention

An answer without sufficient source support is rejected; the receipt preserves the decision and its limit.

04 / BOUNDARY

Pre-release means the gate can still fail.

The full Q4 body was rejected at 86.1% source-pointer accuracy against a gate of at least 99%, and the admitted MARS-T work is only a bounded ternary slice, not a complete ternary model.

  • MARS has not shipped as a product: there is no SemVer release, download, promised date, or publicly linkable repository.
  • The full Q4 body missed its source-pointer gate; the parent hardware pass is not a governed composite packaged under 8 GB.
  • MARS-T has only one admitted bounded ternary slice. A complete publishable ternary model does not yet exist.
  • 128K describes exceptional physical context capacity, not guaranteed comprehension or uniform quality.

05 / PROGRAM STATUS

Receipts decide when MARS can ship.

MARS is pre-release and in active development. Its public release remains planned at 0%, and MARS has not shipped as a product.
