Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Adopt with guardrails

Why
Vendor-backed, MIT-licensed, and genuinely fast for its niche, but the math-only scope and low factual capacity mean it cannot be a general agent brain without strict task-fencing.
Next
Pilot on a narrow, math/logic-bounded agent task with output validation and a fallback to a larger model; measure real throughput vs Phi-4-mini-reasoning on the actual target hardware (not industrial GPUs).
