# What changed

What changed in the Inside The Machine data, newest first. Built by scripts/changes.mjs from git diffs of data/*.json and from the news-intake ledger. Every item names its source; nothing is typed in by hand.

Fit rule: fit_tier_gb = smallest standard memory size whose usable share (models.json ram_tiers.usable_gb_assumed) is at least the model's min_memory_gb. Filter new models by fit_tier_gb <= your memory size.
