Abstract
The AC optimal power flow problem is known to be highly non-convex and scale very poorly with respect to the number of lines and buses. One possible solution is to subdivide and parallelize the problem through distributed optimization. However, the question of how to optimally partition a power grid for use in distributed optimization remains open in the literature. To this end, we compare the graph partitioners KaFFPa and METIS as well as two spectral clustering methods to the standard IEEE 9, 14, 30, 39, 57, 118, 300 bus models. The distributed algorithm ALADIN is used to solve the partitioned OPF problems. For larger grids, KaFFPa yields the best results on average.

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
