the state of the art
is not a model —
it's the routing.

SOTA.app is one desk for the whole stack. Ask for an outcome — transcribe, infer, quantize, recall, research, imagine — and it sends the job to the instrument that is genuinely best right now: quality at speed, on your silicon, nothing off the device.

the desk

Pick a capability. The router scores every engine by quality / (1 + latency_s) and returns the SOTA pick — the same formula the Swift core ships.

the stack it routes

Every piece is its own sovereign build. SOTA.app is the seam that makes them one machine.

why routing is the state of the art

no single winner

A 1.58-bit CPU engine wins where it must be tiny; a 4-bit Metal kernel wins where it must be good. The right answer depends on the job — so the router is the product.

measured, not declared

Every score is a number you can check: precision, median latency, quality. “SOTA” is a claim the app can be held to.

on device, always

Cloud engines may exist in the pool, but the on-device pick wins by design. Your data ends at the machine.
