Abstract
This paper considers online distributed convex constrained optimization over a time-varying multi-agent network. Agents in this network cooperate to minimize the global objective function through information exchange with their neighbors and local computation. Since the capacity or bandwidth of communication channels often is limited, a random quantizer is introduced to reduce the transmission bits. Through incorporating this quantizer, we develop a quantized distributed online projection-free optimization algorithm, which can achieve the saving of communication resources and computational costs. For different parameter settings of the quantizer, we establish the corresponding dynamic regret upper bounds of the proposed algorithm and reveal the trade-off between the convergence performance and the quantization effect. Finally, the theoretical results are illustrated by the simulation of distributed online linear regression problem.

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
