Abstract
For the AO Control of the ELT instrument METIS a two-step method has been developed. First, we reconstruct the incoming wavefront from modulated Pyramid WFS measurements, second, we project this wavefront estimation on a set of modes defined on the M4 of the ELT. Here we focus on the second step, the stable fitting step of a wavefront on modes. We introduce a regularized fitting step on M4 (and subsequently all available modes without truncation) based on the same statistical information as the wavefront reconstructor. In the context of the instrument METIS we gain up to 60nm RMS and a stable performance of the AO system over all seeing and flux conditions studied.

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
