Score breakdown
Popularity is tracked separately. Support, ads, sponsorships, and tips never affect these signals.
Why it matters
Useful when you fine-tune small models and cannot tell which speedup claims survive replication. The result is a verified record of which tricks — sequence packing, completion-only masking, data pruning, aggressive learning-rate schedules, fused kernels — pay for themselves in wall-clock, and anyone can re-verify a record with one command on Modal's free monthly credits.

Risk explanation
No inherent user-impacting risk found: everything runs in your own Modal account or on your own GPU, and official verification runs strangers' submissions only inside Modal's network-blocked, secretless sandbox; Quiet since early August: last push 2026-08-04 and the newest verified record is 2026-08-03. Treat it as a complete v1 artifact rather than a fast-moving race; Official times come only from the pinned Modal L40S; local runs on your own 24 GB+ card are explicitly not comparable; Do not run other people's submissions on your own hardware — use the sandbox verification path for anything you did not write.
