Abstract
The size of the quadrature grid required to compute potential matrix elements impedes solution of the vibrational Schrodinger equation if the potential does not have a simple form. This quadrature grid-size problem can make computing (ro)vibrational spectra impossible even if the size of the basis used to construct the Hamiltonian matrix is itself manageable. Potential matrix elements are typically computed with a direct product Gauss quadrature whose grid size scales as N(D), where N is the number of points per coordinate and D is the number of dimensions. In this article we demonstrate that this problem can be mitigated by using a pruned basis set and a nonproduct Smolyak grid. The constituent 1D quadratures are designed for the weight functions important for vibrational calculations. For the SF(6) stretch problem (D=6) we obtain accurate results with a grid that is more than two orders of magnitude smaller than the direct product Gauss grid. If D>6 we expect an even bigger reduction.

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
