Abstract
This paper presents a model-agnostic predictive smart load balancer for microservices environments, utilizing machine learning to optimize load distribution and resource utilization. The system leverages access logs from NASA, Calgary, and Clarknet datasets to categorize requests and estimate service times for various request types. Advanced ML models, including LSTM, GRU, RNN, ARIMA, and SARIMA, are employed to predict future loads on microservice instances. The load balancer uses these predictions to make proactive decisions, redirecting requests using a weighted round-robin algorithm and preemptively creating new instances when necessary. This approach ensures efficient handling of incoming requests, reduces wait times, and prevents resource over-provisioning. The system’s model-agnostic design allows for seamless integration of new ML models, enhancing its flexibility and robustness. Experimental results demonstrate significant improvements in load management and cost optimization compared to traditional load balancers, highlighting the effectiveness of incorporating ML for intelligent load balancing.

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
