Know what works before you adopt it

Working scope

• Source-buildable Rust workspace and CLI
• Fail-closed local authority lifecycle
• Signed receipts and hash-chained WorldLine events
• Local eval gate and durable agent state

Current boundary

Self-hosted developer preview. Local trust is implemented; enterprise, cooperative, and chain trust backends are not production implementations.

Evidence

A fresh public source clone completed the Maple CLI build check on the review date; runnable flows and test commands are documented in the repository.

Working scope

• Local model serving on macOS and Linux
• Multi-protocol HTTP gateway
• Continuous batching and prefix-cache observability
• Persistent local conversations

Current boundary

The engine is a separate Hermon product. Hermon OS, DNA, Finance, and Code adapters remain evaluated model programs, not guaranteed frontier models.

Evidence

Published source, install path, benchmark methodology, and protocol documentation.

Working scope

• Source build for the native desktop client
• Local terminal and editor workflows
• Local-model and provider configuration paths
• Hermon-backed account and agent integration work

Current boundary

A source preview for developers, not a generally available managed coding service. Distribution, onboarding, and support are still converging.

Evidence

Build instructions, upstream attribution, and current engineering direction are public in the repository.

Working scope

• Public application and educational surfaces
• Financial workflow and mandate demonstrations
• Human-review and evidence-first product direction

Current boundary

Preview software. It does not provide investment advice, autonomous custody, or an assurance that regulated workflows can operate without licensed human review.

Evidence

Public application workflows and documentation, with high-consequence execution kept outside the model.

Working scope

• Open research code and architecture documentation
• Automated training and frozen evaluation loops
• Public checkpoint telemetry and research books

Current boundary

An experimental architecture. It is not AGI, not a production language model, and not evidence that DNA organization outperforms transformers.

Evidence

Rejected and promoted candidates are reported against explicit gates instead of being hidden behind training activity.

Working scope

• DNABERT-family seed experiments
• Deterministic dataset generation and task contracts
• Public model-role and promotion criteria

Current boundary

A research lane, not a clinical model. Synthetic-data accuracy does not establish biological validity or medical utility.

Evidence

The public developer guide distinguishes seed classifiers, domain adapters, and foundation-model evidence.
