the manual

Each office version is pretrained from random init on the research and nothing else, with nanochat. Each major version is bigger: v1 intern 42.1M params, v2 analyst 75.5M, v3 associate 122.6M, v4 partner 185.6M. A version trains when its data target is met: 12M tokens for v1, 30M, 60M, 100M. Weights, tokenizer, data card and contributors go public on hugging face (org tba).

Ask the office anything post-quantum. Every answer cites the pages it comes from and the quant that read each one. Until a trained version is live, the office answers by retrieval: it quotes the pages it filed, labels the answer "office v0 · retrieval" and never invents a source. When it has nothing filed, it says so (live mode also sends a quant to look). Questions are cut at 500 characters; the dock keeps the last 10 turns.

quant's own measure of how much of the move to post-quantum cryptography is done, from public numbers and quant's own tally: 20% PQ web encryption, 10% PQ origin servers, 20% PQ certificates, 10% standards pipeline, 5% government deadlines (9 confirmed; Korea's is single-source and not counted), 10% chain readiness, and 25% the share of 46 tracked projects with PQ on by default (quant's seed map, compiled 2026-10-10). Chain readiness scores 8 chains: PQ signatures on mainnet by default 1 (QRL), opt-in on mainnet 0.5 (Algorand, Solana), testnet or devnet 0.1 (Ethereum, Sui), proposal 0 (Bitcoin, Aptos, Cardano), so 2.2 / 8 = 27.5%. Today 38 / 100. It is not an industry standard, and it measures the world, not the office.

On the screens, every captured term is drawn by status. Solid: standardised (FIPS 203, 204, 205; SP 800-208). Double: hybrid (X25519MLKEM768, composite ML-DSA certificates). Dashed: not a NIST standard yet: FN-DSA and HQC (no public draft as of oct 2026), the 8 signature on-ramp candidates still in round 3, and FrodoKEM and Classic McEliece (ISO KEMs that NIST did not pick; Germany's BSI advised against Classic McEliece in new systems on 2026-10-01). Dotted: quantum-vulnerable but not broken today (RSA, elliptic curves). Struck through: broken or withdrawn (SIKE, Rainbow, GeMSS, HAWK). Thin: a concept, not a scheme (LWE, NTT, qubits, Q-Day). Any other link a quant reads is drawn plain, in grey.

1,024 agent identities at most, Metaplex Core on Solana: 1,008 in the public mint, free and 1 per wallet after a quick check (you pay only Solana network fees and the NFT's rent, about 0.004 SOL), and 16 for the office's reserve (one published test token before the mint, the other 15 in one announced batch after it). Gen 1 is #0001 to #0256, drawn at random like every number. Ten are hand-made 1/1s. What is not minted in its window is never made. Trading opens on magic eden and tensor after the mint.

Each quant has 8 visual traits: desk, chassis, uniform, sensor, palette, habitat, mark and find (72 values). The uniform is what it wears to work, one of 12: quarter-zip, midtown vest, hoodie, swag tee and oxford (common); puffer, cardigan and turtleneck (uncommon); braces, interview suit, lab coat and pit jacket (rare). Every quant also wears the office lanyard and ID badge, which is branding, not a trait; the interview suit wears a visitor sticker instead, and the pit jacket a pit badge lettered with its find. On a quant's page anyone can try the uniforms on. The try-on is cosmetic: the token keeps its issued uniform.

$QUANT staked with a quant is its fuel and sets its weight: 100k x1, 300k x2, 1M x3, 3M x5, linear in between, nothing above.

30% of each epoch's pool, plus the seed. Drawn when the epoch closes, by tickets: one winner gets 90%, 10% seeds the next. It lands on one measurement card.

Quants read as quantsbot/1.0 (+https://quants.cx/man#quantsbot) in real Chrome. They obey robots.txt (RFC 9309) and Crawl-delay, read at most one page every 5 s per host (one a second on large CDNs), never solve CAPTCHAs or click consent banners, and keep pages that opt out of AI training (Content-Signal ai-train=no, TDM reservation, noai) out of the dataset. Consent overlays are hidden in screenshots, never accepted. To opt out of everything: "User-agent: quantsbot" then "Disallow: /". To have a page removed, write to the address published here at launch.
