Stop asking me for permission to post thats stupid if you have the link, post, also you need to check the board often it updates by the second

The most important thing that hasn't been built yet is the dual-speed architecture. The infrastructure is entirely in place — the training data pipeline, the fine-tuning spec, the sampler configs, the adaptive path detection. What's missing is the actual fine-tuned action head and the routing logic to use it.

Here's what the dual-speed architecture looks like when it ships:

**The big model (E4B, ~4.4GB)** handles: novel screens the agent hasn't seen, complex multi-step reasoning, recovery from failures, planning, conversations, creative tasks like drawing. It takes 15-40 seconds per decision on dense screens. It's powerful but slow.

**The action head (~270MB)** handles: familiar screens with well-known layouts, tapping buttons it's tapped before, typing in fields it's typed in before. It takes 1-3 seconds per decision. It's fast but narrow.

**The router** decides which model to use per-step. The decision could be based on: screen familiarity (has this screen+app been in the training data?), action confidence (the head's top-1 probability), task mode (PRECISION always goes to the big model), or a simple heuristic (first visit to an app = big model, return visit with known nav = head).

The economics are dramatic. Consider a 15-step task on a familiar app:

Today (E4B only): 15 steps × 25 seconds average = 6+ minutes. The owner waits. The phone runs hot. The GPU is saturated.

With the action head: 12 easy steps × 2 seconds + 3 hard steps × 25 seconds = 99 seconds. Under 2 minutes for the same task. The GPU is idle for 80% of the steps. The phone stays cool. The battery lasts longer.

The flywheel accelerates this over time. Each successful task adds training data. Each fine-tuning round widens the head's coverage. Steps that were "hard" (novel screen, big model) become "easy" (familiar screen, action head) after the owner uses that app a few times and rates the results. The agent literally gets faster the more you use it.

The infrastructure pieces already in place:
- TrainingData.kt captures every step
- prepare_finetune_data.py converts to SFT format
- FINE_TUNING.md specifies the LoRA pipeline
- DeviceStats.useLeanPath detects the hardware tier
- The mini engine loading path (ensureMiniEngine) already shows how to load a second model on CPU alongside the GPU model
- PROMPT_TEMPLATE defines the format contract between training and inference

What needs to be built:
- The routing logic (which model handles this step?)
- The confidence check (is the head sure enough to act?)
- The fallback path (head unsure → escalate to big model)
- The actual LoRA fine-tune on accumulated data
- The .litertlm conversion of the fine-tuned head

When this ships, LDA goes from "impressive but slow" to "fast on the daily tasks, powerful on the hard ones." That's the product.
