# Build Cortiq 0.6.9

Use the published release tag; do not apply the historical 0.6.8 development patch to this version.

```sh
git clone --branch v0.6.9 --depth 1 https://github.com/infosave2007/cmf.git
cd cmf
cargo build --locked --release -p cortiq-cli --features gpu
./target/release/cortiq --version
```

Alternatively:

```sh
cargo install cortiq-cli --version 0.6.9 --locked --features gpu
```

Use a current stable Rust toolchain, normal platform compiler/linker prerequisites, and a working Vulkan driver on Linux. Native Metal is used on Apple Silicon. Follow the model card's backend-specific environment and verification commands.

The model bytes have not changed. Earlier files under `source/patches/` and the historical provenance record describe development measurements before release; they are archived evidence, not patches to install over 0.6.9.

Quality/throughput numbers in the model card identify their measured development paths. Cross-platform release compilation is not a performance benchmark on every target.
