Abstract
Avi Bar-Zeev is a co-founder of Keyhole () – maker of EarthViewer, which later became Google Earth ( http://earth.google.com ) – and an early employee of Intrinsic Graphics and a number of interesting start-ups. He developed technologies for Second Life, including the procedural 3D object rendering code. Early in his career, he helped develop Disney's Aladdin's Magic Carpet VR Ride, ( http://www.imagineering.org/wdilabs.html ), one of the first real-time (60 fps) first-person immersive entertainment applications, and went on to lead or influence a number of Disney 3D experiences. He typically consults for a living, inventing technologies as needed and helping clients through the maze of options. He regularly blogs about subjects related to his technical interests and expertise at http://www.realityprime.com .

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
