System overhaul complete; miners dispute champion results

Affine completed a two-day system rebuild migrating to in-house cluster (8×B300), reducing eval time to ~1 hour per duel with sequential champion comparison instead of parallel. Required samples per environment dropped to 200–100, with 24-hour sample holdout before rollout release. Miners are contesting UID 228's new champion status over UID 213, citing insufficient sample counts (200 vs. prior ~2000), high variance, and display inconsistencies in `af get-rank`. Team acknowledged scoring display bugs and paused sampling to investigate; anti-copy system under development.

• •System migrated to 8×B300 cluster; eliminates Chutes dependency and compute fees
• •Eval time reduced to ~1h per duel; samples held 24h before rollout release
• •UID 228 champion promotion disputed—miners want retest or multi-champion reward distribution
• •Sample counts reduced to 200–100 per env; miners report display bugs in ranking scores
• •Queue backlog at ~78 models; spam/copy models flooding queue; anti-copy pending integration
