Abstract
This paper presents the development of a ground‐motion prediction model for small‐to‐moderate shallow crustal earthquakes (3⩽ M ⩽5.5, up to 200 km distance) using data from the California ShakeMap systems. Our goal is to provide an empirical model that can be confidently used in the investigation of ground‐motion difference between California and other active tectonic regions (such as the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia, Canada) where the bulk of ground‐motion data from shallow crustal earthquakes is in the small‐to‐moderate magnitude range. This attenuation model is developed as a small‐magnitude extension of the Chiou and Youngs NGA model (CY2008). We observe, and incorporate into this model, a regional difference in median amplitude between central and southern California earthquakes. The strength of the regional difference diminishes with increasing spectral period. More importantly, it is magnitude dependent and becomes insignificant for M ⩾6 earthquakes, as indicated by the large‐magnitude California data used in CY2008. Together, these findings have important implications on the practice of utilizing the regional differences observed in small‐to‐moderate earthquakes to infer the regional differences expected in large earthquakes, including the NGA model applicability in active tectonic regions outside California.

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
