-GPU wins at large dense GEMM. We win at **everything else**: similarity search, latency-sensitive inference, edge deployment, energy efficiency, and cost. A $35 Raspberry Pi 4 at 5 watts outperforms a $350 GPU at 170 watts for codebook inference — because table lookups don't need floating-point hardware.
+**Our Near tier (2.4B/s) beats an RTX 3060 by 5–12×.** Our Foveal tier (611M/s) matches RTX 3060 IVF-PQ — but with 0.4% error vs. PQ's 5–10%, and at $0 hardware cost. Only an H100 ($30K, 700W) comes close — and it still needs PCIe transfer + kernel launch overhead that we don't have.
+
+The trick: GPU must FP32-multiply, FP32-divide, and transfer over PCIe. We read one u8 from a 64KB table that lives in L1 cache. No transfer, no kernel launch, no floating point.

+Five layers on top of upstream ndarray's array primitives:
 
 **SIMD Polyfill** (`simd.rs`, `simd_avx512.rs`, `simd_avx2.rs`, `simd_neon.rs`) — `std::simd`-compatible types (`F32x16`, `F64x8`, `U8x64`, `I32x16`) on stable Rust via `core::arch`. Detection once via `LazyLock<SimdCaps>`, dispatch via frozen function pointer table (0.3ns per call).
 
-**Backend** (`backend/`) — Pluggable BLAS: pure-Rust Goto-GEMM (default), Intel MKL (feature-gated), OpenBLAS (feature-gated). Native backend: 6x16 f32 + 6x8 f64 microkernels, cache-blocked L1/L2/L3, 16-thread split-borrow parallelism.
