- **Distributed relay performance** — relay `/rpc` requester sockets are persistent per Route Session and Activation Seam as of 2026-07-10; `request_id` remains unique per activation while `X-Meshnet-Session` remains stable for KV state. Next low-risk priorities: persistent direct/loopback HTTP, seam byte/latency telemetry, then trace-driven zstd tuning.
- **Distributed GGUF direction** — benchmark-gated native runtime: compare controlled Transformers/safetensors and whole-model llama.cpp lanes before expensive work; ship only for measured speed or model-fit advantage. Public parallelism is contiguous Shards in an Inference Route; concurrency comes from per-node continuous batching across isolated Route Sessions, while tensor/expert collectives stay inside optional trusted composite providers. Native data plane uses versioned Protobuf over long-lived gRPC/HTTP2 seam streams, with existing relay carrying the same opaque frames when needed. llama.cpp/GGML remains the substrate behind a project-owned standalone worker and small pinned fork; vLLM is an optional complete managed provider and concept donor, not a fork. Nakshatra, `prima.cpp`, `llama-gguf`, LiGGUF and historical GPUStack are source/test donors only.
