Abstract
The pay-what-you-use model of serverless Cloud computing (or serverless, for short) offers significant benefits to the users. This computing paradigm is ideal for short running ephemeral tasks, however, it is not suitable for stateful long running tasks, such as complex data analytics and query processing. We propose FunDa, an on-premises serverless data analytics framework, which extends our previously proposed system for unified data analytics and in situ SQL query processing called DaskDB. Unlike existing serverless solutions, which struggle with stateful and long running data analytics tasks, FunDa overcomes their limitations. Our ongoing research focuses on developing a robust architecture for FunDa, enabling true serverless in on-premises environments, while being able to operate on a public Cloud, such as AWS Cloud. We have evaluated our system on several benchmarks with different scale factors. Our experimental results in both on-premises and AWS Cloud settings demonstrate FunDa’s ability to support automatic scaling, low-latency execution of data analytics workloads, and more flexibility to serverless users.

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
