Abstract
Conventional centralized cloud computing is a success for benefits such as on-demand, elasticity, and high colocation of data and computation. However, the paradigm shift towards “Internet of things” (IoT) will pose some unavoidable challenges: (1) massive data volume impossible for centralized datacenters to handle; (2) high latency between edge “things” and centralized datacenters; (3) monopoly, inhibition of innovations, and non-portable applications due to the proprietary application delivery in centralized cloud. The emergence of edge cloud gives hope to address these challenges. In this paper, we propose a new framework called “HomeCloud” focusing on an open and efficient new application delivery in edge cloud integrating two complementary technologies: Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Software-Defined Networking (SDN). We also present a preliminary proof-of-concept testbed demonstrating the whole process of delivering a simple multi-party chatting application in the edge cloud. In the future, the HomeCloud framework can be further extended to support other use cases that demand portability, cost-efficiency, scalability, flexibility, and manageability. To the best of our knowledge, this framework is the first effort aiming at facilitating new application delivery in such a new edge cloud context.

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
