Arcade.it AI Lab — frozen checkpoint methodology, v1, 4 October 2026.
Source: laboratory-supplied summary. Raw evidence is not included.
Perception, Qwen control, computer vision and automated policy Search are distinct.
Search calls no model during a run. Accelerated discovery is separate from real-time confirmation.
Replay uses recorded frame-based inputs and matching emulator/configuration.
The laboratory reports 1,898/1,898 captured screenshots matched for its 5,050 Search run.
E002 labels come from independent sprite-based ground truth; no markers reached the model.
Cross-model latency was not hardware-controlled. Metrics alone cannot reproduce a run.
No ROMs, extracted assets, game dumps, secrets or unreviewed media are distributed.
