 **Key design decisions:**
 
 - **GPU-first runtime** — model execution stays in native Rust/CUDA paths
-- **Custom GPU kernels** — CUDA for decode-critical paths, Triton AOT for Qwen3.5 compatibility kernels, FlashInfer for paged attention/sampling, NCCL for multi-GPU reductions, and cuBLAS for matrix multiplication
+- **Custom GPU kernels** — CUDA for decode-critical paths; Triton AOT for the general Qwen3.5 GDN path; a statically linked FlashInfer/CuTe AOT specialization for Qwen3.5-4B SM120/Hv32 when a validated candidate is supplied; FlashInfer for paged attention/sampling; NCCL for multi-GPU reductions; and cuBLAS for matrix multiplication
 - **CUDA Graph** on Qwen decode paths — eliminates kernel launch overhead where enabled
 - **Per-model crate boundary** — Qwen3-4B owns its config, weights, scheduler/executor, tests, benches, and kernel plan in `pegainfer-qwen3`
 
 **Model details:**
 
 - **Qwen3**: 32 Q heads, 8 KV heads (GQA 4:1), head_dim=128
-- **Qwen3.5**: hybrid — 24 linear attention layers (Gated Delta Rule) + 8 full attention layers, head_dim=256

+The SM120 FlashInfer GDN production boundary has a separate fail-closed five-gate runner because it requires a real generated candidate, the pinned Qwen3.5-4B snapshot, and an SM120 GPU. See [`pegainfer-kernels/tools/flashinfer_gdn/README.md`](pegainfer-kernels/tools/flashinfer_gdn/README.md); the non-default `gdn-validation` feature exists only for that runner and adds no counters or validation API to a default serving build.

 The DeepSeek-V2-Lite E2E is a correctness/integration gate. Direct diagnostics and HTTP SLO report commands live in [`benchmarking.md`](docs/models/deepseek-v2-lite/benchmarking.md).
