A public roadmap should show which predictions aged badly

An older PostTrainLLM devlog ended with two large next steps: a pre-trained model gallery and a native macOS application.

The project moved. The browser gallery and native Swift and MLX surfaces now exist, but neither became the permanent product center. The active center is the Mac-local specialist factory: target, data, post-training, evaluation, packaging, and report.

This is why keeping the old roadmap visible matters. A roadmap is a prediction made with partial information. It should not be rewritten later to make the current direction look inevitable.

The useful update is to mark what shipped, what became infrastructure, and what was parked. Browser polish and broad research remain available, but they do not compete with the current factory proof. The next milestone is a stronger validated specialist result, not another surface for its own sake.

The older prediction and current direction can both be inspected at https://posttrainllm.com/devlog.
