Straight answers

What exists—and what does not.

Can I run HASLAB today?

Yes. Start with the numerical reference, simulator, conformance, and compiler/runtime tests. With the pinned model and calibration artifacts, you can reproduce the first two Conv-SiLU blocks. Follow the getting-started guide.

Does HASLAB run YOLOv8n?

FLOAT and calibrated INT8 proxy accuracy are measured over COCO val2017. The first two complete Conv-SiLU blocks execute through 16,245 HASLAB commands in the simulator; all 614,400 retained INT8 values match the golden model. The complete detector and hardware execution remain ahead. See the scope of each result.

Is an FPGA target available?

No. Board selection follows workload closure, compiler/runtime work, verified RTL, and measured resource probes on plausible targets.

Can I fabricate a chip?

No release is tapeout-ready. Process, SRAM, IO, power, clocking, DFT, physical verification, packaging, fabrication collateral, and bring-up evidence remain future work.

Is commercial use allowed?

The hardware and software licenses allow commercial use under their respective reciprocal terms. Third-party models, datasets, PDKs, IP, and tools retain separate licenses.

What should I contribute now?

Independent contract and conformance review, C2f branching, package/runtime validation, adversarial vectors, documentation, and reproducible verification are especially useful. Find current work.
