Abstract
Regenerating codes are efficient methods for distributed storage in storage networks, where node failures are common. They guarantee low cost data reconstruction and repair through accessing only a predefined number of arbitrarily chosen storage nodes in the network. In this work we consider two simultaneous extensions to the original regenerating codes framework introduced in [1]; i) both data reconstruction and repair are resilient to the presence of a certain number of erroneous nodes in the network and ii) the number of helper nodes in every repair is not fixed, but is a flexible parameter that can be selected during the runtime. We study the fundamental limits of required total repair bandwidth and provide an upper bound for the storage capacity of these codes under these assumptions. We then focus on the minimum repair bandwidth (MBR) case and derive the exact storage capacity by presenting explicit coding schemes with exact repair, which achieve the upper bound of the storage capacity in the considered setup. To this end, we first provide a more natural extension of the well-known Product Matrix (PM) MBR codes [2], modified to provide flexibility in the choice of number of helpers in each repair, and simultaneously be robust to erroneous nodes in the network. This is achieved by proving the non-singularity of family of matrices in large enough finite fields. We next provide another extension of the PM codes, based on novel repair schemes which enable flexibility in the number of helpers and robustness against erroneous nodes without any extra cost in field size compared to the original PM codes.

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
