Run T-0109 rejected

· Evidence: SPRT Sequential probability ratio test. Games are played until the accumulated evidence reaches one of two bounds; then the test stops.

Hypothesis

Portable build flags -O3 -march=x86-64-v3 -flto were applied to the NNUE Efficiently updatable neural network: a small network that evaluates positions and is updated incrementally move by move. component. Utilizing AVX2 is expected to triple the speed of the int16 accumulator loop in the testbed and training epoch, rather than in the engine code itself.

Point estimate with the reported 95-percent half-width, per stage. The dashed line is zero. Estimates from a stopped sequential test are biased by the stopping rule; the interval is nominal.
