These are Home SOC tests run on the MS-S1 MAX: comparing four local models, checking investigation answers and confirming Radeon 8060S offload. The Vault supplies the firewall events. These entries do not report results from the separate MS-S1 knowledge-assistant or fine-tuning project.

Home SOC: Four Models with Default Sampling

Four models answered the same saved log summaries. This group contains two tasks: structured reports with a two-minute deadline, and written reports with a five-minute deadline. The sampling settings use each model's defaults.

Home SOC: Models Reading Simulation Logs

I converted the simulation logs into summaries, then asked each model to review them twice. Some simulations produced no alerts, so completion across all requests is shown separately from explanations on the summaries that contain alerts.

Home SOC: Four Models with Shared Sampling

Each model answered the same 12 tasks once with the sampling settings made explicit. Read completion first, then check whether the alert explanations and full answer checklist passed.

Home SOC: One Report on the Radeon GPU

One live report ran on the Minisforum's Radeon 8060S. The runner confirmed all 33 model layers were offloaded, and the returned report passed the existing checker.

Home SOC: Four Models with Default Sampling

Four models answered the same saved log summaries. This group contains two tasks: structured reports with a two-minute deadline, and written reports with a five-minute deadline. The sampling settings use each model's defaults.

Each model received 12 structured tasks three times and 6 written tasks twice. Repeats test consistency on those tasks; they are not new incidents. Compare completion and explanations within the same task and settings. These runs do not measure each model's best possible performance.

Home SOC: Models Reading Simulation Logs

I converted the simulation logs into summaries, then asked each model to review them twice. Some simulations produced no alerts, so completion across all requests is shown separately from explanations on the summaries that contain alerts.

21 source cases produced 9 different summaries: 8 with alerts and 1 empty summary shared by 13 sources. Each model made 42 requests, but only 16 were the alert-bearing tasks (8 summaries, twice). Those repeats and duplicate empty inputs do not represent 42 different incidents.

Each model answered the same 12 tasks once with the sampling settings made explicit. Read completion first, then check whether the alert explanations and full answer checklist passed.

10 of the 12 tasks contain alerts. Completion uses all 12; explanation and checklist results use those 10. The 21 expected explanations count individual items across the same 10 tasks. This pass supports a choice for the scheduled report under these settings, not a general intelligence ranking.

Home SOC: Investigation Failures and Input Fix

The original investigation answers failed. A revised task then exposed two prompts that were too long for the configured context. After fixing the instructions and ensuring the full input reached the model, I reran the same cases.

This is a correction history on 6 constructed cases, each tried in 3 conditions: evidence only, analyst assistance, and assistance with repetition grouping. That produces 18 measured answers, not 18 independent incidents. All 3 corrected conditions passed, so this test shows no accuracy advantage for assistance or grouping.

Corrected V6 reviewer controls

Failed run

Measured on Minisforum MS-S1 MAX · Recorded backend in request receipts

Wrong-answer checks passed
1 of 6
6 deliberately wrong answers. Only 1 review met every required defect check; the larger model was unreliable as a judge. (answers)
Reviews matching every answer-key category
18 of 24
24 reviews, including practice. 18 matched every independently defined answer-key category; this is separate from the 6 wrong-answer controls. (answers)

The larger reviewer missed defects and raised false alarms. Its agreement never overrides the source score.

Home SOC: One Report on the Radeon GPU

One live report ran on the Minisforum's Radeon 8060S. The runner confirmed all 33 model layers were offloaded, and the returned report passed the existing checker.

The 20.781 seconds is the total HTTP request duration for one report with 309 generated tokens. The input and answer length differ from the CPU study. Use this as evidence that GPU execution worked, not a CPU/GPU speed comparison.

First live GPU acceptance

Partial result

Measured on Minisforum MS-S1 MAX · Vulkan / Radeon 8060S

HTTP report duration
20.781 seconds
One live request; includes more than token generation
Actual generated tokens

Returned request receipt
Offloaded layers
33 layers
Actual runner identified Radeon 8060S; 33 of 33 layers

The structured report passed validation, but some explanation remained generic. No matched speedup or generation-rate claim.
