Abstract
The Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment Fast Radio Burst (CHIME/FRB) outrigger project is an upcoming VLBI experiment designed to localize one-off and repeating fast radio bursts to 50 milliarcsecond accuracy. To achieve this goal, three new radio telescopes – the outriggers – are currently being commissioned across Canada and the USA. The CHIME telescope is a non-steerable phased array operating from 400 – 800 MHz and has a ~200 sq. degree instantaneous field of view. To maximize the overlap between the field of view of CHIME and its outriggers, each telescope has adopted a near-identical physical design to that of the CHIME telescope. The first of these three telescopes, the k'ni?atn k'1 stk'masqt outrigger (abbr. KKO), is approximately 1/16th the size of CHIME and has been in operation since June 2022.

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
