<h2>2026-05-11 &mdash; 22 architectures shipped; 14 PPL-verified end-to-end at 5 bpw, three new sub-1.005&times; records this week</h2>

<p>Production-grade lossless 5-bit transformer compression across 22 architectures, dense + Mixture-of-Experts + state-space (Mamba), 0.6B to 405B parameters. Mathematically lossless customer-side reconstruction: SHA-256 over reconstructed tensor bytes matches the trainer&#39;s measurement, verified by <code>uc verify</code>.</p>

<h2>Tightest verified PPL ratios at 5 bpw</h2>
<p><i>(perplexity ratio = compressed PPL / bf16 baseline PPL; FineWeb-edu held-out tail; seq_len = 1024; n = 30-50; seed = 42)</i></p>
