Where it sits

The prism has six jobs across and eight layers down. Its primary cell islearn × L4. Hatched cells cannot exist — a GPU does not learn, an institution does not infer.

What must come first — and what it unlocks

Left to right is reading order, derived from the prerequisite_of edges. Nothing here is hand-ordered: the diagram is the graph.

What kind of thing it is — and what it is made of

It is made of: Instruction tuning, Knowledge distillation.
