Countries must work together for enduring peace and wellbeing in the region Nearly two decades ago, coinciding with overt nuclear tests conducted by Pakistan and India, we highlighted in The BMJ the huge risks of beginning a nuclear race in the subcontinent1 and its massive costs.2 Today, South Asia is once again at the brink of conflict, with massive deployment of armies on the borders between Pakistan and India.

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
