⚔️ The Zero-VRAM Gauntlet • Hodri Meydan

Zero VRAM. Zero Weights.
Sub-2ms Deterministic Supremacy.

Modern deep learning claims that making reliable, agentic decisions requires 80GB H100 GPUs, hundreds of gigabytes of static tensor weights, and megawatts of energy. We reject that premise. Driven by Mandelbrot fractal escape dynamics, our System-1 decision kernel delivers bare-metal sub-millisecond reflexes with 0 Bytes persistent tensor memory and 100% mathematical determinism.
