Abstract
By employing pulse compression with a stretched hollow-core fiber, we generated 2-cycle pulses at 1.8 μm (12 fs) carrying 5 mJ of pulse energy at 100 Hz repetition rate. This energy scaling in the mid-infrared spectral range was achieved by lowering the intensity in a loose focusing condition, thus suppressing the ionization induced losses. The correspondingly large focus was coupled into a hollow-core fiber of 1 mm inner diameter, operated with a pressure gradient to further reduce detrimental nonlinear effects. The required amount of self-phase modulation for spectral broadening was obtained over 3 m of propagation distance.

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
