Abstract
An infinite projected entangled-pair state (iPEPS) is a powerful variational tensor network ansatz for two-dimensional ground states in the thermodynamic limit, and can be seen as a natural generalization of a matrix-product state to two dimensions. One of the main challenges in iPEPS simulations is the optimization of the tensors, i.e., finding the optimal variational parameters, in order to have the best representation of the ground state of a given Hamiltonian. The author presents a variational optimization scheme, in which the energy is minimized in an iterative way by sweeping over all the tensors in the ansatz, in a similar spirit as done in the density-matrix renormalization group method. Benchmark results for challenging problems are presented that show that the variational scheme yields considerably more accurate results than the previously best imaginary-time evolution algorithm, with a similar computational cost and with a faster convergence towards the ground state.

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
