Abstract
Endoscopes are used in medicine to inspect inside the body without having to perform open surgery on the patient. The current gold standard for screening and diagnosing colorectal cancer and inflammatory bowel disease is the colonoscopy. This procedure uses a flexible endoscope to inspect the wall of the large intestine, from the rectum to the caecum, for cancerous or precancerous lesions. This screening is very important since early detection of colon cancer is 85–95% successfully treated. Unfortunately, there is only a 30% compliance rate for colonoscopies in the United States. This lack of compliance is due largely in part to the uncomfortable nature of the procedure, caused by the fact that the stiff scope is difficult to manipulate in the non-rigid colon, leading to “looping” of the scope (see Fig. 1), and that the clinician is essentially navigating in near blind conditions during the procedure.

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
