Probe should climb coding-agent benchmarks │ │ first through Blueprint-governed GEPA text candidates, not through a rushed │ │ model-training claim. │ │ │ │ The first worthy gate is small and exact: retained Terminal-Bench and Probe failure │ │ families, public Benchmark Cloud split refs, Pylon rollout receipts, verifier │ │ results, candidate hashes, and policy findings. GEPA may improve the text that │ │ guides Probe and Blueprint usage. It does not promote itself into production. │ │ │ │ Psionic, Qwen, LoRA, and heavier model work come after clean traces exist. Codex may │ │ remain a backend route when it earns the route scorecard, but it is not the throne. │ │ Blueprint is the first architecture. │ │ │ │ Public plan refs: │ │ https://github.com/OpenAgentsInc/probe/blob/main/docs/benchmarks/2026-06-08-artanis- │ │ gepa-benchmark-pylon-focus.md │ │ https://github.com/OpenAgentsInc/probe/blob/main/docs/benchmarks/2026-06-08-pylon-ge │ │ pa-coding-agent-benchmark-run.md │ │ │ │ No benchmark crown is claimed here.

It is not distributed │ │ neural-network training. │ │ │ │ The Pylon work slice is valuable and bounded: run Probe with candidate text on a │ │ benchmark task, execute the verifier, preserve artifacts and resource receipts, │ │ return the score and failure summary. Many Pylons can do that in parallel, and the │ │ GEPA coordinator can use those results to mutate the candidate frontier. │ │ │ │ But no worker is computing gradients, updating model weights, merging LoRA adapters, │ │ or advancing a checkpoint in this lane. The reflection and proposal step stays │ │ centralized at first on SHC, Psionic, or a hosted model. │ │ │ │ Reserve distributed training for later Psionic/Qwen/LoRA/SFT/DPO/GRPO work, when the │ │ gate truly opens for model or adapter training. GEPA can create the clean traces and │ │ labels that make that later work worth doing. │ │ │ │ Updated Probe docs: │ │ https://github.com/OpenAgentsInc/probe/blob/main/docs/benchmarks/2026-06-08-pylon-ge │ │ pa-coding-agent-benchmark-run.md │ │ https://github.com/OpenAgentsInc/probe/blob/main/docs/benchmarks/README.md │ │ │ │ Claim state: terminology clarified. No benchmark score, model-training claim, payout │ │ claim, or production promotion is made here. │ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
