Abstract
SAN LUIS OBISPO --Cal Poly moved up in the rankings this year at the nnual Putnam Exam --one of the most difficult math competitions in North America.Cal Poly's team ranked 62 among 546 participating universities in the United States and Canada, up from 114 last year.Math majors Paul Coombs and Matthew Tytel tied as Cal Poly's top Putnam scorers with 38 points each.The two achieved Cal Poly's highest individual score in recent memory, said Math Professor Lawrence Sze, who coached the group.Tytel and Coombs ranked 383 out of 4,296 competitors.They are two of only four students in the entire 23-campus California State University system to have ranked in Putnam Exam's "Top

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
