Veizik for Apple Silicon — 2026.10.02-r10
All eight engines are rebuilt with ver6 op-stream hardening — stronger protection against static reverse-engineering of the on-device engine. Nothing you type or see changes: generation is token-for-token identical to r6.1–r6.5 (decode byte-identical, argmax unchanged). The `veizik` command, activation and the model catalogue are unchanged.
This page records the state as of 2026-10-10 and is not updated as the catalogue moves. For what runs now, see models.
What this build does
- Engine hardening: all eight engines (four for `veizik run`, four for `veizik serve`) are rebuilt with op-stream obfuscation. Render is token-for-token identical to r6.1–r6.5 (decode byte-identical, same argmax), so outputs do not change; the binaries are no longer byte-identical to the earlier builds.
- The benchmarks board's speed and memory figures were measured on the r6.1–r6.5 cores and carry to r10 because §R verified the engines render identically and a steady-state speed probe is within measurement noise; each carried row says so.

- macOS on Apple Silicon (arm64)
- Install size
- 16.4 MB, 124 files — no dependency to install first
- Verification
- The file name, size and SHA-256 are printed on this page and on the release page, and the two agree. The disk image is signed with a Developer ID and notarised, and carries SHA256SUMS covering its other 49 files, so `shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS` checks the contents after you open it.

Fixed issues
- No functional change from r6.5. This release is the ver6 op-stream hardening of the engines only.
Known issues in 2026.10.02-r10
