Engineering notes, release reports, and protocol writing from the team building the AI-native post-quantum L1. Concrete, verifiable, honest about gaps.
Spec 183 is live via the governance multisig: the VQE energy gate now retargets on how many solves each block took, not the clock. What was wrong, what changed, the rehearsal, and every node verified.
A full account of where QuantumAI Blockchain stands today across all three layers: the post-quantum L1, the QVM with QBC bridged one to one, and AethersMind. What is live, what was fixed this month, what we found when we attacked our own bridge, and what is still not done.
Chat on the live 7B went from sixty seconds to five: three stacked causes found and fixed, decode up from 1.6 to 30 tokens per second. KV quantization stays ON and a public chat answers in five to seven seconds.
A 200x performance fix on a live 5-million-vector fabric: every search had degraded to 29 seconds from one false assumption in index accounting. Search is now 145 milliseconds; validation sweeps went from 7 minutes to 3 seconds.
Every few days our on-chain AI would quietly seize up: alive, still logging, answering nothing. The cause was the memory allocator hoarding freed pages. Here is the hunt, the heap-profiler proof, and the durable jemalloc fix.
The residual GRANDPA finality stall is root-caused and fixed in the node's chain-selection layer, deployed across all three validators on chain 3303. Runtime v141 ships behaviour-identical cleanup. The fix is live; the proof is still pending.
Substrate runtime v140 is live on chain 3303 and permanently fixes the RecentProofHashes count desync behind the multi-hour finality halt at block 343742. Migration verified on live state: count 999 to 0, invariant holding.
