Historical-coordinate notice (added 2026-08-27): This page records the tagged
repository release v0.2.0; that semantic-version coordinate is not the current VSTD-2
layer. The accelerator surface described below is now named VSTD-3, while issued
receipts retain the frozen VSTD-3.0 wire identifier. The tag and attached assets
remain unchanged. References below to the historical conformance workflow name
identify a repository job, not an earned VSTD conformance result. See
the current identifier map.

VSTD 3: Universal Accelerator Accountability

VSTD v0.2.0 adds a normative, evidence-bounded standard and reference implementation for accelerator identity, firmware evidence, execution evidence, accounting continuity, complete-mediation claims within declared boundaries, fleet completeness, and provenance propagation.

Included

  • VSTD 3.0 normative specification and strict JSON Schemas
  • deterministic virtual accelerator and adversarial conformance suite
  • 37-profile data-driven accelerator registry
  • NVIDIA and AMD host-observed adapters with opaque attestation preservation
  • strict provider-evidence boundaries for Google TPU, AWS Neuron, and Microsoft Maia
  • continuity, reset anchoring, partition/topology, fleet, and provenance validation
  • vstd hardware, continuity, fleet, evidence, and claims CLI families
  • threat model, migration guide, vendor integration guide, references, and translated claim limits

Verification performed

  • public checkout: 105 passed, 2 skipped
  • internal full suite: 152 passed, 3 skipped
  • Ruff and mypy passed
  • source archive built twice byte-identically
  • wheel built twice byte-identically using SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=1787270400
  • clean wheel install and virtual accelerator receipt verification passed
  • GitHub conformance and stdlib-smoke checks passed

Claim boundary in plain language

A VSTD receipt can support only the claims justified by its evidence, independent verification, declared conformance profile, and observation boundary. This release does not establish vendor endorsement, accredited certification, physical-world completeness, or universal observation of accelerator activity. HMAC evidence is test-only. Opaque vendor evidence remains unverified unless an independent verifier is configured. UNKNOWN, UNSUPPORTED, and FAIL remain distinct from PASS.
