 ### Route generation
 
-The generator has ~1.41M parameters. Best validation perplexity: 24.3 [$\exp(\mathcal{L}_{\text{CE}})$ — effective vocabulary size per step].

 ## Important caveats
 
-- **Generated routes are machine-made candidates.** Always inspect them before climbing. They are not guaranteed to be safe, fun, or even physically possible.
-- **Grade predictions are estimates, not ground truth.** Climbing grades are subjective, board-style-dependent, and noisy even in the training data.
