Recent progress on the structure of the quantum connection for monotone symplectic manifolds has used two approaches, which share the common feature of reducing to mod p coefficients. We refine and compare those approaches. In particular, we establish a relation with quantum Steenrod operations which is stronger than that in Chen's work, leading to more precise information about the singularity at ∞ of the quantum connection. For the version of the connection relative to a smooth anticanonical divisor, we draw attention to the implications of the categorical mod p Fontaine-Laffaille structure established by Petrov-Vaintrob-Vologodsky.
