Abstract
A Reinforcement Learning (RL) method called SARSA is used to dynamically tune a PI-controller for a Continuous Stirred Tank Heater (CSTH) experimental setup. In order to start from an acceptable policy, the proposed approach uses an approximate First Order Plus Time Delay (FOPTD) model to train the RL agent in the simulation environment before implementation on the real plant. As a result of the existing plant-model mismatch, the performance of the RL-based PI-controller based on the policy derived from simulations is not as good as the simulation results; however, training on the real plant results in a significant performance improvement. On the other hand, the IMC-tuned PI-controllers, which are the most commonly used feedback controllers, degrade because of the inevitable plant-model mismatch. The experimental tests are carried out for the cases of set-point tracking and disturbance rejection. In both cases, the successful adaptability of the RL-based PI-controller is clearly evident.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
