Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Proceed with caution

Why
Architecture is proven at trillion-parameter scale with real A/B lift and is now an MLPerf reference benchmark, but serving cost/latency and categorical-only constraints are verified blockers at our scale and budget.
Next
Prototype HSTU on a single high-traffic surface using the NVIDIA recsys-examples reference on one GPU; measure offline HR@100 / NDCG lift vs current SASRec-style baseline before any serving commitment.

Constraints

Blockers

No named blocker is present in the current public projection.
