Abstract
Open sun drying is the predominant process used for food preservation by smallholder and subsistence farmers (SHSFs), and their families, globally constituting about 2 billion people on about 475 million farms. The major problems with this process are the slow, unreliable speed of completion, rain-caused loss of vital food sources, risks from mycotoxin accumulation, environmental contamination, and loss of nutritional quality. SHSFs represent the poorest and least educated human demographic, whose survival is largely ignored by Governments, untouched by international aid programs, and with limited access to basic utilities. Solar drying systems can greatly improve the preservation of safe and nutritious food, but current systems deployed put this technology beyond the reach of the demographic which needs it most. Here, our objective was to develop the technology for the simplest low-cost drying system, which would minimize all risk factors, particularly eliminate mycotoxin accumulation, and which could be practically deployed by SHSFs.

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
