Abstract
The spot flexibility markets are before the real-time energy exchange, allowing demand-side management to reduce energy consumption during peak periods. In these markets, demand aggregators must quickly choose the customers' reduction bids that fulfill grid requirements. This clearing procedure is challenging due to the computational complexity of selecting the optimal bids. Therefore, developing a clearing mechanism that avoids searching the entire flexibility bid space while respecting grid constraints is essential for the smooth operation of the spot flexibility market. This paper presents a clearing mechanism with reduced computational complexity of the winner determination problem in spot flexibility market for demand aggregators carrying out reductions in energy consumption. The proposed approach transforms customers' flexibility bids into a reward-based function. Afterward, the gradient-based optimization solves the bid selection problem. This approach helps demand aggregators achieve satisfactory energy reductions within an appropriate delay for spot flexibility markets. A comparative study presents the effectiveness of the proposed approach against commonly used approaches: hybrid particle swarm optimization genetic algorithm and combinatorial search.

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
