Abstract
BASF will undertake a major reorganization of its global R&D activities starting in the second quarter of 2022. The company will bundle its global research activities into one central research unit based in Ludwigshafen, Germany, with about 3,500 employees. BASF currently has regional research headquarters in Ludwigshafen; Research Triangle Park, North Carolina; and Shanghai. BASF asserted earlier this year that Ludwigshafen will continue to be its largest R&D hub. The new unit will be managed by Detlef Kratz, now the head of BASF’s process research and chemical engineering division. At the same time, the company will transfer about 1,800 researchers directly into its business units. “This will further strengthen the customer focus of research and development,” BASF says in a press release. As of 2020, BASF had about 11,000 R&D employees working in about 70 locations. The firm spent $2.5 billion on R&D activities last year, according to its annual

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
