By engine · by stage · by evidence class
Every number, its engine, its stage, and its limits.
Luxi has two engines: LuxiQuant, a deterministic numerical engine ready for pilot, and the Luxi Inference Engine, which runs transformer workloads in stages - prefill and decode/generation. Every material claim on this site is registered here under its engine and stage with its work unit, comparator, hardware and model scope, energy boundary, determinism or correctness contract, maturity label, limitations, and public data-pack link where one exists.
How to read our claims
Claims are organized by engine (LuxiQuant or the Luxi Inference Engine), by stage for inference (prefill or decode/generation), and into three evidence classes that never blend. Nothing here is ever merged into one system-wide win. Historical tags such as Version 99, 100, 101, or 102 are internal milestone tags, not product names; where they matter for provenance, they appear only in footnotes.
Independent Evidence
Measured or operated by a third party (TestFort QA Lab) under its own protocol, with dated reports. The strongest evidence class on this page.
Internal Matched Evidence
Internal head-to-head measurement against a named comparator under a stated protocol, or correctness acceptance against a reference implementation. Independent validation is noted wherever it exists; everything else is labeled internal.
Research Evidence
Internal research-path measurements. Directional evidence about architecture and energy behavior - not product claims, not production-serving evidence.
Maturity labels
Independent Evidence and Internal Research mark proof status. Paid Pilot Open (LuxiQuant) and Scoped Evaluation Open (H100 prefill) mark commercial engagements that measure your workload under contract.
Current situation
Where the evidence stands right now
LuxiQuant, the deterministic numerical engine, was independently evaluated by TestFort QA Lab and is available for paid pilots today.
Inference Engine - prefill: three separate evidence rungs, in order. The independent TESTfort baseline (July 23, 2026) verified lower GPU-board energy per prefill position than the tested vLLM stack. The internal matched comparison measured roughly 1.18x the tested vLLM throughput at roughly 12% lower board joules per position at batch 16. The internal absolute prefill champion (August 7, 2026) measured roughly 44,860 positions per second at roughly 0.01532 board joules per position at batch 72, with no vLLM arm attached. Each rung is reported separately below. Prefill is available today as a controlled evaluation.
Inference Engine - decode/generation: decode produces output tokens and matches the reference next-token result under the defined numerical audit. The next serving-readiness milestone is locking end-to-end quality, throughput, and board energy.
LuxiQuant · Independent Evidence
LuxiQuant: independently evaluated deterministic numerical engine
TestFort QA Lab independently evaluated LuxiQuant, LuxiEdge's deterministic numerical engine, on NVIDIA H100 hardware. This third-party numerical validation belongs to LuxiQuant and is never applied to the Inference Engine's transformer results.
Reliability
- No failed requests in the specified load test
- Average GPU power of approximately 117.2 W during the reported load test
Determinism
- Five GPU and five CPU runs produced identical hashes for the tested workload

TestFort packed-prefill evaluation report - July 2026 (PDF) →
The December 2025 report covers the deterministic numeric engine evaluation (seven-function workload, hash consistency, GPU endurance). The July 2026 report covers independent evaluation of LuxiEdge deterministic packed prefill execution versus vLLM on NVIDIA H100 (Version 99, 2026-07-23 results). These are two separate evaluations by TestFort QA Lab.

Independent prefill baseline - July 23, 2026
TESTfort third-party measurement completed 2026-07-23, with the validation report, raw artifacts, and technician attestation all available. Workload: Qwen2-7B-Instruct packed prefill, batch 16, sequence length 128, one NVIDIA H100 80GB, measured in prefill positions. Preserved as dated independent evidence, reported separately from the later internal prefill measurement below.

Faithful full-model CUDA correctness
The current product story: LuxiEdge's faithful full-model Qwen2-7B CUDA path on NVIDIA H100, measured against CPU and Hugging Face references. Correctness contract: under the defined acceptance protocol, what repeats is the greedy token sequence - a pass/fail gate, not a performance claim.
Current status
- Full 28-layer Qwen2-7B CUDA path on NVIDIA H100: running
- CPU-versus-CUDA greedy-token match rate: 1.0 under the current acceptance protocol
- Hugging Face-versus-CUDA greedy-token match rate: 1.0 under the current test
- Logit cosine similarity: approximately 1.0 · top-10 overlap 10/10
- Four-request independent CUDA generation smoke test: passed
- All decoder mathematics runs on the GPU
- Current limitations: token embedding row gathering and final greedy argmax remain host-side
- Faithful-path performance, energy optimization, and production-serving validation: ongoing
**Current acceptance testing includes matched CPU, CUDA, and Hugging Face greedy-token comparisons under the defined limited protocol. It is a correctness result, not a broad model-quality or performance ranking.

Faithful Llama 3.1 inference - internal milestone
Internal Llama 3.1 resident-inference milestone. Active-batch output matched the serial BF16 path on tested correctness gates. Independent validation of performance and energy is the next step; this section is separate from the public TRADE benchmark table.
| Metric | Internal result | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Correctness | Active batch = serial | Exact on primary p32 and p128 gates |
| Cold process/model load | ~190–210 seconds | Current development startup path |
Correctness gates passed internally; independent reproduction is on the validation roadmap.

True-autoregressive decode - reference agreement achieved
Decode/generation produces output tokens. The GPU path was brought into reference agreement and matches the reference next-token result under the defined numerical audit. The next measurement milestone is post-audit end-to-end quality, throughput, and board energy on this path.
Internal research evidence. Current true-autoregressive throughput and energy figures will be published once measured on this path; this entry is reported separately from the independent prefill evaluation, the later internal prefill measurement, and the fixed-window evaluated-position research.

Internal TRADE research vs Hugging Face FP16
Separate internal controlled benchmark: TRADE research stack vs Hugging Face Transformers FP16 reference. This is not a production-peer comparison - it uses a different execution path and a different baseline than the matched-vLLM measurements above (the independent July 23, 2026 evaluation and the later internal measurement).
| Metric | LuxiEdge TRADE research stack | Hugging Face Transformers FP16 reference | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Board energy per processed token | ~0.00453 J/token | ~0.03296 J/token | ~86.3% reduction |
| Processed-stack throughput | ~32,083 stack-tokens/sec | ~9,026 stack-tokens/sec | ~3.56× |
| Median board power | ~145 W | ~298 W | ~51% lower |
NVIDIA H100 NVL · Qwen2-7B-Instruct · sequence length 128 · sustained-load measurement · controlled internal H100 research benchmark.
*Measured as NVIDIA H100 board joules per processed token in a controlled sustained Qwen2-7B-Instruct research workload at sequence length 128. LuxiEdge TRADE research stack: approximately 0.00453 J/token; Hugging Face Transformers FP16 reference: approximately 0.03296 J/token, an approximately 86.3% reduction. The same test recorded approximately 3.56× processed-stack throughput. Internal benchmark; results vary by workload and system configuration. Faithful full-model Qwen2-7B CUDA integration is complete at the current correctness-acceptance level; faithful-path energy optimization and production-serving validation are ongoing.

Two different kinds of hashes appear around these builds: release-file checksums (published alongside downloads) verify that the file you downloaded was not corrupted or altered in transit; evaluation-output receipts (SHA-256 hashes emitted by the engine) attest what a specific computation produced under a documented deterministic mode. One is about file integrity, the other about computation results - they are not interchangeable.
