32

33
+ [![verify](https://github.com/idemcore/idemcore-verifier/actions/workflows/verify.yml/badge.svg?branch=main)](https://github.com/idemcore/idemcore-verifier/actions/workflows/verify.yml)
34
+
35
+ **Check, without trusting us, that two machines produced bit-identical LLM inference.**
36
+
37
+ Project site: <https://idemcore.net>
38
+
39
+ Idemcore is an integer-only inference engine: the same model, prompt, and
40
+ settings give the *same bits* on an x86 laptop, an ARM phone, and NVIDIA GPUs
41
+ from Turing to Hopper. Every token it scores or generates emits a 64-bit hash
42
+ of the full logit vector and a 64-bit hash of the integer sampling table
43
+ (CDF). A run log is a list of these hashes plus one chained digest (`ALL`).
44
+
45
+ This repository is the **open half** of Idemcore:
46
+
47
+ * the log format and hash protocol ([SPEC.md](SPEC.md)),
48
+ * a small, dependency-free Python verifier (`idemcore_verify/`),
49
+ * the measurement methodology ([METHODOLOGY.md](METHODOLOGY.md)),
50
+ * raw per-token logs from real cross-device runs (`samples/`) and the results
51
+ table they back ([RESULTS.md](RESULTS.md)).
52
+
53
+ The inference kernel itself is not in this repository and is not open source.
54
+ You do not need it to check a claim: the verifier only needs two logs.
55
+
56
+ ## Reproduce in 5 minutes
57
+
58
+ You need `git` and Python ≥ 3.9. No GPU, no model and no third-party package.
59
+
60
+ ```sh
61
+ # 1. get the verifier and the sample logs (about 6 MB)
62
+ git clone https://github.com/idemcore/idemcore-verifier.git
63
+ cd idemcore-verifier
64
+
65
+ # 2. optional: a clean virtual environment and the `idemcore-verify` command
66
+ python3 -m venv .venv && . .venv/bin/activate
67
+ pip install .
68
+
69
+ # 3. recompute every published hash and re-check every published pair (~5 s)
70
+ python3 -m idemcore_verify samples # same as: make verify or sh verify_samples.sh
71
+
72
+ # 4. check one pair yourself: x86-64 CPU vs NVIDIA L40S, gpt-oss-20b
73
+ python3 -m idemcore_verify compare samples/gpt-oss-20b/x86_64.log \
74
+ samples/gpt-oss-20b/nvidia_l40s.log
75
+
76
+ # 5. the unit tests, including a tamper test
77
+ python3 -m unittest discover -s tests
78
+ ```
79
+
80
+ Expected output of step 3:
81
+
82
+ ```
83
+ checked 65 logs (448904 token rows) and 58 pairs
84
+ PASS: every published hash recomputes and every pair is bit-identical
85
+ ```
86
+
87
+ and of step 4:
88
+
89
+ ```
90
+ OK samples/gpt-oss-20b/x86_64.log: 512 tokens, ALL 8ec348aaf3b4109c (recomputed 8ec348aaf3b4109c)
91
+ OK samples/gpt-oss-20b/nvidia_l40s.log: 512 tokens, ALL 8ec348aaf3b4109c (recomputed 8ec348aaf3b4109c)
92
+ MATCH: 512/512 positions identical (mode exact; only-in-ref 0, only-in-cand 0)
93
+ ```
94
+
95
+ Step 3 recomputes all 65 published digests in
96
+ [samples/HASHES.tsv](samples/HASHES.tsv) from the shipped logs (about 450 000
97
+ token rows, including batched GPU logs) and re-checks all 58 pairs in
98
+ [samples/PAIRS.tsv](samples/PAIRS.tsv). To prove the check is not a rubber
99
+ stamp, edit any hex digit in a log and run it again: the chain breaks.
100
+
101
+ `idemcore-verify samples` looks for `./samples` in the current directory; run
102
+ it from the repository root, or pass `--dir path/to/samples`. `make` is not
103
+ required; every `make` target is a one-line Python command.
104
+
105
+ ### Check a live answer from api.idemcore.net
106
+
107
+ The hosted API (`https://api.idemcore.net/v1`, OpenAI-compatible) attaches a
108
+ receipt to every answer, and `GET /v1/receipts/{id}/log` returns that answer's
109
+ per-token log. The API serves the public form of the log (`log_format`
110
+ `idemcore-log/r1-public`): the `pi j h hc` fields of [SPEC.md](SPEC.md) plus the
111
+ `ALL` line, without `freq` and `total`. The verifier accepts both forms (version
112
+ 0.3.0 and later). Access needs an API key: sign in to the console at
113
+ <https://console.idemcore.net/#/login> and create one. With a key, save the log and run:
114
+
115
+ ```sh
116
+ curl -s https://api.idemcore.net/v1/receipts/RECEIPT_ID/log \
117
+ -H "Authorization: Bearer $IDEMCORE_API_KEY" | jq -r .log_text > answer.log
118
+ python3 -m idemcore_verify check answer.log
119
+ python3 -m idemcore_verify compare answer.log your_rerun.log
120
+ ```
121
+
122
+ ### Install as a package
123
+
124
+ The verifier is published on PyPI as
125
+ [`idemcore-verify`](https://pypi.org/project/idemcore-verify/) (console script of
126
+ the same name):
127
+
128
+ ```sh
129
+ pip install idemcore-verify
130
+ idemcore-verify --version
131
+ idemcore-verify check run.log
132
+ idemcore-verify compare reference.log candidate.log
133
+ ```
134
+
135
+ The package contains only the verifier; the sample logs ship with this
136
+ repository.
137
+
138
+ All hash tables, per device, workload and batch size: [EVIDENCE.md](EVIDENCE.md).
139
+
140
+ Requires Python ≥ 3.9, standard library only.
141
+
142
+ ## What the verifier checks
143
+
144
+ 1. **Well-formedness** – every line has six fields, hashes are 64-bit hex,
145
+ `0 < freq ≤ total < 2^31`, no duplicate positions.
146
+ 2. **Chain integrity** – it recomputes the `ALL` digest from the per-token
147
+ lines; editing a single line breaks it.
148
+ 3. **Agreement** – it compares a candidate log against a reference log
149
+ position by position, keyed by `(payload, position)`, and prints the first
150
+ divergence (which token, which field). `--subset` allows a short spot check
151
+ (e.g. 128 CPU tokens against a 512-token GPU run).
152
+
153
+ A match on `h` means the two machines computed the **same integer logits for
154
+ the whole vocabulary** at that position, not just the same argmax token. A
155
+ match on `hc` means they built the same integer sampling distribution, so any
156
+ seeded sampler driven by it makes the same choices.
157
+
158
+ ## Published pairs
159
+
160
+ | Model | Reference | Candidate | Positions | Result |
161
+ |---|---|---|---|---|
162
+ | Qwen2.5-0.5B, 8-bit | x86-64 CPU | NVIDIA T4 | 3260 | identical |
163
+ | Qwen2.5-0.5B, 8-bit | x86-64 CPU | Galaxy Z Fold5 (Android) | 240 | identical |
164

168
+ | Qwen2.5-7B, 4-bit (g4) | x86-64 CPU | NVIDIA A10G | 512 | identical |
169
+ | Qwen2.5-7B, 4-bit (g) | x86-64 CPU | Galaxy Z Fold5 (Android), both CPU code paths | 128 (prefix) | identical |
170
+ | Qwen2.5-7B, 4-bit (g) | x86-64 CPU | x86-64 CPU, 6 repeat runs (6 and 8 pinned threads) | 512 | identical |
171
+ | Qwen2.5-7B, 4-bit (g) | x86-64 CPU | NVIDIA A10G and A10, batched B = 1–64, shuffled and staggered (40 logs) | every row of every stream | identical |
172
+ | gpt-oss-20b (MoE) | x86-64 CPU | NVIDIA L40S | 512 | identical |
173
+ | gpt-oss-120b (MoE) | x86-64 CPU (spot check) | NVIDIA H100 | 128 of 512 | identical |
174
+
175
+ Details per file: [samples/MANIFEST.md](samples/MANIFEST.md).
176
+ Qwen2.5-7B 4-bit on Android runs at 3.39 tok/s on the Fold5 (see [RESULTS.md](RESULTS.md)).
177
+
178
+ **Batched GPU serving.** With an improved batched GPU kernel, Qwen2.5-7B 4-bit
179
+ on an NVIDIA A10G serves up to 64 concurrent streams, and every stream's
180
+ per-token hashes match a single-stream x86-64 run at batch sizes 1, 8, 16, 32
181
+ and 64, including shuffled slot order and staggered joins (0 mismatches).
182
+ The same holds on an NVIDIA A10. Aggregate throughput (A10G): 641 tok/s at 8
183
+ streams and 1372 tok/s at 32. Numbers and caveats:
184
+ [RESULTS.md](RESULTS.md#2b-batched-serving-qwen25-7b-4-bit-g-nvidia-a10g).
185
+ The raw batched logs are in `samples/batched/` and are re-checked by step 3 above.
186
+

+ ## What this does **not** prove
204
+
205
+ * The logs are produced by our engine. A matching pair shows two runs agree;
206
+ it does not prove *which* program produced them. To check a provider, re-run
207
+ the same request on hardware you control (or ask a second party to) and
208
+ compare logs.
209
+ * The hash is FNV-1a-64: fast and good for detecting accidental divergence,
210
+ **not** collision-resistant against an adversary who can choose logits. A
211
+ SHA-256 / BLAKE3 variant of the log is planned; the format has a version.

5
+ **Check, without trusting us, that two machines produced bit-identical LLM inference.**
6
+
7
+ Project site: <https://idemcore.net>
8
+
9
+ Idemcore is an integer-only inference engine: the same model, prompt, and
10
+ settings give the *same bits* on an x86 laptop, an ARM phone, and NVIDIA GPUs
11
+ from Turing to Hopper. Every token it scores or generates emits a 64-bit hash
12
+ of the full logit vector and a 64-bit hash of the integer sampling table
13
+ (CDF). A run log is a list of these hashes plus one chained digest (`ALL`).
14
+
15
+ This repository is the **open half** of Idemcore:
16
+
17
+ * the log format and hash protocol ([SPEC.md](SPEC.md)),
18
+ * a small, dependency-free Python verifier (`idemcore_verify/`),
19
+ * the measurement methodology ([METHODOLOGY.md](METHODOLOGY.md)),
20
+ * raw per-token logs from real cross-device runs (`samples/`) and the results
21
+ table they back ([RESULTS.md](RESULTS.md)).
22
+
23
+ The inference kernel itself is not in this repository and is not open source.
24
+ You do not need it to check a claim: the verifier only needs two logs.
25
+
26
+ ## Reproduce in 5 minutes
27
+
28
+ You need `git` and Python ≥ 3.9. No GPU, no model and no third-party package.
29
+
30
+ ```sh
31
+ # 1. get the verifier and the sample logs (about 6 MB)
32
+ git clone https://github.com/idemcore/idemcore-verifier.git
33
+ cd idemcore-verifier
34
+
35
+ # 2. optional: a clean virtual environment and the `idemcore-verify` command
36
+ python3 -m venv .venv && . .venv/bin/activate
37
+ pip install .
38
+
39
+ # 3. recompute every published hash and re-check every published pair (~5 s)
40
+ python3 -m idemcore_verify samples # same as: make verify or sh verify_samples.sh
41
+
42
+ # 4. check one pair yourself: x86-64 CPU vs NVIDIA L40S, gpt-oss-20b
43
+ python3 -m idemcore_verify compare samples/gpt-oss-20b/x86_64.log \
44
+ samples/gpt-oss-20b/nvidia_l40s.log
45
+
46
+ # 5. the unit tests, including a tamper test
47
+ python3 -m unittest discover -s tests
48
+ ```
49
+
50
+ Expected output of step 3:
51
+
52
+ ```
53
+ checked 65 logs (448904 token rows) and 58 pairs
54
+ PASS: every published hash recomputes and every pair is bit-identical
55
+ ```
56
+
57
+ and of step 4:
58
+
59
+ ```
60
+ OK samples/gpt-oss-20b/x86_64.log: 512 tokens, ALL 8ec348aaf3b4109c (recomputed 8ec348aaf3b4109c)
61
+ OK samples/gpt-oss-20b/nvidia_l40s.log: 512 tokens, ALL 8ec348aaf3b4109c (recomputed 8ec348aaf3b4109c)
62
+ MATCH: 512/512 positions identical (mode exact; only-in-ref 0, only-in-cand 0)
63
+ ```
64
+
65
+ Step 3 recomputes all 65 published digests in
66
+ [samples/HASHES.tsv](samples/HASHES.tsv) from the shipped logs (about 450 000
67
+ token rows, including batched GPU logs) and re-checks all 58 pairs in
68
+ [samples/PAIRS.tsv](samples/PAIRS.tsv). To prove the check is not a rubber
69
+ stamp, edit any hex digit in a log and run it again: the chain breaks.
70
+
71
+ `idemcore-verify samples` looks for `./samples` in the current directory; run
72
+ it from the repository root, or pass `--dir path/to/samples`. `make` is not
73
+ required; every `make` target is a one-line Python command.
74
+
75
+ ### Check a live answer from api.idemcore.net
76
+
77
+ The hosted API (`https://api.idemcore.net/v1`, OpenAI-compatible) attaches a
78
+ receipt to every answer, and `GET /v1/receipts/{id}/log` returns that answer's
79
+ per-token log. The API serves the public form of the log (`log_format`
80
+ `idemcore-log/r1-public`): the `pi j h hc` fields of [SPEC.md](SPEC.md) plus the
81
+ `ALL` line, without `freq` and `total`. The verifier accepts both forms (version
82
+ 0.3.0 and later). Access needs an API key: sign in to the console at
83
+ <https://console.idemcore.net/#/login> and create one. With a key, save the log and run:
84
+
85
+ ```sh
86
+ curl -s https://api.idemcore.net/v1/receipts/RECEIPT_ID/log \
87
+ -H "Authorization: Bearer $IDEMCORE_API_KEY" | jq -r .log_text > answer.log
88
+ python3 -m idemcore_verify check answer.log
89
+ python3 -m idemcore_verify compare answer.log your_rerun.log
90
+ ```
91
+
92
+ ### Install as a package
93
+
94
+ The verifier is published on PyPI as
95
+ [`idemcore-verify`](https://pypi.org/project/idemcore-verify/) (console script of
96
+ the same name):
97
+
98
+ ```sh
99
+ pip install idemcore-verify
100
+ idemcore-verify --version
101
+ idemcore-verify check run.log
102
+ idemcore-verify compare reference.log candidate.log
103
+ ```
104
+
105
+ The package contains only the verifier; the sample logs ship with this
106
+ repository.
107
+
108
+ All hash tables, per device, workload and batch size: [EVIDENCE.md](EVIDENCE.md).
109
+
110
+ Requires Python ≥ 3.9, standard library only.
111
+
112
+ ## What the verifier checks
113
+
114
+ 1. **Well-formedness** – every line has six fields, hashes are 64-bit hex,
115
+ `0 < freq ≤ total < 2^31`, no duplicate positions.
116
+ 2. **Chain integrity** – it recomputes the `ALL` digest from the per-token
117
+ lines; editing a single line breaks it.
118
+ 3. **Agreement** – it compares a candidate log against a reference log
119
+ position by position, keyed by `(payload, position)`, and prints the first
120
+ divergence (which token, which field). `--subset` allows a short spot check
121
+ (e.g. 128 CPU tokens against a 512-token GPU run).
122
+
123
+ A match on `h` means the two machines computed the **same integer logits for
124
+ the whole vocabulary** at that position, not just the same argmax token. A
125
+ match on `hc` means they built the same integer sampling distribution, so any
126
+ seeded sampler driven by it makes the same choices.
127
+
128
+ ## Published pairs
129
+
130
+ | Model | Reference | Candidate | Positions | Result |
131
+ |---|---|---|---|---|
132

140
+ | Qwen2.5-7B, 4-bit (g) | x86-64 CPU | x86-64 CPU, 6 repeat runs (6 and 8 pinned threads) | 512 | identical |
141
+ | Qwen2.5-7B, 4-bit (g) | x86-64 CPU | NVIDIA A10G and A10, batched B = 1–64, shuffled and staggered (40 logs) | every row of every stream | identical |
142
+ | gpt-oss-20b (MoE) | x86-64 CPU | NVIDIA L40S | 512 | identical |
143
+ | gpt-oss-120b (MoE) | x86-64 CPU (spot check) | NVIDIA H100 | 128 of 512 | identical |
144
+
145
+ Details per file: [samples/MANIFEST.md](samples/MANIFEST.md).
146
+ Qwen2.5-7B 4-bit on Android runs at 3.39 tok/s on the Fold5 (see [RESULTS.md](RESULTS.md)).
147
+
148
+ **Batched GPU serving.** With an improved batched GPU kernel, Qwen2.5-7B 4-bit
149
+ on an NVIDIA A10G serves up to 64 concurrent streams, and every stream's
150
+ per-token hashes match a single-stream x86-64 run at batch sizes 1, 8, 16, 32
151
+ and 64, including shuffled slot order and staggered joins (0 mismatches).
152
+ The same holds on an NVIDIA A10. Aggregate throughput (A10G): 641 tok/s at 8
153
+ streams and 1372 tok/s at 32. Numbers and caveats:
154
+ [RESULTS.md](RESULTS.md#2b-batched-serving-qwen25-7b-4-bit-g-nvidia-a10g).
155
+ The raw batched logs are in `samples/batched/` and are re-checked by step 3 above.
156
+
