Abstract
Located at crystal voids, interstitial anion electrons (IAEs) have diverse topologies, which may be tuned to achieve different properties. Elucidating the role of IAEs in electron-phonon coupling (EPC), and using it to design electride superconductors, leads to the current prediction of superconducting ${\mathrm{Li}}_{8}\mathrm{Au}$ at high pressure. We suggest that the occurence of high-temperature superconductivity in electrides requires high-symmetry structures with hydrogenlike cages, an electron acceptor element to balance charges, and isolated IAEs coupled with medium-frequency vibrations. The uniquely designed ${\mathrm{Li}}_{8}\mathrm{Au}$ electride has a NaCl-type ($B1$) lattice, with atomic Au and cubic ${\mathrm{Li}}_{8}$ cages as bases. Isolated IAEs are formed at the cage centers, with extra charges taken up by Au. These octahedrally coordinated IAEs have a $p$-orbital-like attribute and are strongly coupled with atomic vibrations in the ${\mathrm{Li}}_{8}$ cages. The strong EPC in ${\mathrm{Li}}_{8}\mathrm{Au}$ results in a calculated ${T}_{c}$ of 73.1 K at 250 GPa, which is the highest ${T}_{c}$ reported to date for all the electrides. A slight substitutional Pt doping can enhance the ${T}_{c}$ of ${\mathrm{Li}}_{8}\mathrm{Au}$ to exceed liquid nitrogen temperature.

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
