A public roadmap should show which predictions aged badly

The PostTrainLLM project has undergone significant changes since its inception. The initial roadmap included a pre-trained model gallery and a native macOS application. However, neither of these has materialized as the permanent product center. Instead, the current active center is a Mac-local specialized factory, which handles tasks such as target selection, data collection, post-training, evaluation, packaging, and report generation.

This emphasis on maintaining the old roadmap is crucial because a roadmap is essentially a prediction made with limited information. Any attempt to rewrite it later in an attempt to make the present direction appear inevitable would be misleading. Therefore, it is important to clearly mark what has been shipped, what has become infrastructure, and what has been parked.

While browser polish and extensive research continue to be available, they do not compete directly with the current factory proof. The next milestone for the PostTrainLLM project is to achieve a stronger, validated specialist result, rather than creating another surface for its own sake.
