Progress over the past year includes a doubling of the median score per round for our Llama 2 70B LLM test, while the top score is over 3X faster now. This is the server scenario.

Here’s the launch of my level 2 high-power certification flight: an Apogee Zephyr flying on an Aerotech J270 engine. Went to ~4500 feet; recovered it in good shape to pass the cert test.

Impossible to make a classic clean solder joint that small. PCB appears to be coated with a very effective flux layer. But this is holding. Not sure about continuity yet.

Had near-ideal launch conditions today. Here's my EZ-DD rocket going up on an Aerotech G77R motor with Redline propellant. You can faintly hear the Eggtimer base announcing flight data. Apogee was at 1275 ft, and the main parachute deployed at 600 ft. All worked as planned!

Here is my EZ-DD rocket’s first flight on an Aerotech G74 engine. All went perfectly with the dual deployment system. Peak altitude was 927 ft on this smallish engine. About the limit today due to low cloud cover.
