Abstract
The artificial pancreas is a long-awaited goal for the management of type 1 diabetes, and its development was recently triggered by the development of continuous glucose sensors. Developing the artificial pancreas is a control engineering problem that is challenged by the large delays in insulin absorption, variability in system dynamics between patients and within the same patient, meals, exercise, and sensor errors. Model predictive controllers are at the forefront of current research due their ability to accommodate input constraints, insulin absorption delays, meals, and insulin boluses. Controller designs need to focus on the balance between system complexity, clinical benefits, and patient convenience. Randomized controlled clinical trials are the gold standard to assess artificial pancreas systems, but feasibility trials may be useful to assess the practicality of novel controllers and systems. Mathematical modeling and computer simulations may also accelerate the development of the artificial pancreas and allow optimization of controller designs prior to clinical testing. Topics of future research include artificial pancreas for type 2 diabetes, combining adjunctive therapies with novel artificial pancreas systems, and learning and adaptive algorithms.

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
