Abstract
The recent announcement by LIGO of the detection of the gravitational-wave signal GW150914 has ignited tremendous interest. The two manuscripts highlighted here detail the impressive analysis performed by LIGO to identify a specific black hole binary merger as the source of GW150914. The papers describe two independent methods of analysis: the matching of the signal to numerical-relativity-generated templates and unmodeled burst analyses. The two papers together provide detailed and virtually incontrovertible evidence, by the standards of experimental physics, of the detection of gravitational waves generated by a merger of a black hole binary system consisting initially of black holes of approximately 36 and 29 solar masses.

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
