Abstract
YGM is a general-purpose asynchronous distributed computing library for C++/MPI, designed to handle the irregular data access patterns and small messages of graph algorithms and data science applications. It uses data serialization to give an easily usable active message interface and message aggregation to maximize application throughput. Our design philosophy makes a tradeoff that increases network bandwidth utilization at the cost of added latency. We provide a suite of benchmarks showcasing YGM's performance. Compared to similar distributed active message benchmark implementations that do not provide message buffering, we are able to achieve over 10x throughput on thousands of cores at a latency cost that can be as small as 2x or as large as 100x, depending on the machine being used. For applications that can be written to be latency-tolerant, this represents a significant potential performance improvement through using YGM.

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
