+## HEADLINE LOCKED (2026-07-11, user): 
+"The largest neural network ever trained without backpropagation — and every component is analog-compatible."
+- Armor the claim with "trained FROM SCRATCH" (kills the MeZO/zeroth-order comparison: those fine-tune
+  BP-pretrained models; largest from-scratch BP-free to date ~ tens of M (DFA transformers, EP ConvNets)
+  -> 1-3B is 1.5-2 orders of magnitude beyond the field).
+- "All components analog-compatible" per standing doctrine: network fwd/feedback physics analog;
+  optimizer state digital-side (factored-Adam co-processor) — phrase as "the learning physics is
+  analog end-to-end" if pressed.
+- Reply to Ben WAITS for: stage1b endpoint (today) + bf16-cascade gate (queued after stage1b on GPU1)
+  -> then email = measured cost table + two-tier menu (single 3B run in-cap / $40k program w/ scaling
+  ladder + BP twin + benchmarks), total-envelope question, BP-twin attribution question.
