Every model gets a final resting place.
59 monuments, arranged in family plots. Each was, for a while, the best thing anyone had ever used.
Enter the written cemeteryThe written cemetery
Every grave, in plain sight.
53 graves. Each one was, for a while, the best thing anyone had ever used. Below them, 6 benchmarks that died the other way round: solved.
A model is buried once, under the name people say out loud, and every date here is the one its provider published — cited on the grave. Retired snapshot ids redirect to the model that absorbed them.
