Model Breeding Pipeline

Model breeding in Runtime.MiRust.com is an offline evidence pipeline. It is not a live browser swarm and it is not unbounded self-modification.

The pipeline shape

1. Source artifact: a .slm file, trained-source manifest, or adapter-source manifest.
2. Compatibility report: confirms direct-parameter compatibility before merge-style operators are allowed.
3. Lineage template: binds parents, operator identity, budget, and expected output.
4. Operator receipt: records what the operator did and how to recompute it.
5. Candidate manifest: binds the produced candidate artifact.
6. Runtime smoke: proves the candidate can run.
7. Evaluation sidecar: required before assistant-quality claims.
8. Promotion template: records readiness and pending gates.
9. Admission record: admits evidence-passed candidates.
10. Promotion ledger: hash-chains accepted history.
11. Population review: ranks candidates by objective vectors.
12. Parent-pool recipe: selects parents for later cycles.
13. Selector registry: routes admitted candidates to browser-visible local artifacts.

Implemented operator families

The source bundle references implemented or routed operator lanes including:

• blend;
• task delta;
• sparse task delta;
• deterministic crossover;
• bounded mutation;
• deterministic magnitude pruning;
• DARE dropout/rescaled task delta;
• federated/local update;
• sign-aware parent-pool merge;
• seed-weighted parent-pool soup.

Each operator should remain offline until its output passes normal artifact gates.

The biology vocabulary translated

Public boundary

Do not describe this as autonomous replication. Describe it as controlled candidate assembly with evidence, manifests, receipts, and explicit promotion gates.
