Scope and limitsAn operator's statement of an in-orbit result, not independently verified; the workloads, model size and duration are not stated. Starcloud's priority wording ("first") is its own. The same page embeds a congratulation that names Gemma, not Gemini; the discrepancy is Starcloud’s and is recorded, not resolved (cross-family check, item 115).

The quotation (7 words) matched the text retrieved for the candidate pack on 2026-10-28 and again at admission on 2026-10-30, in a fresh retrieval whose SHA-256 equals the pack’s. Matching ignored differences of whitespace, case, quotation marks, dashes and Unicode compatibility forms, so the source’s typography can differ.
