Abstract
Wanted: A city to host the 2026 Winter Olympics. The International Olympic Committee needs a city to host the 2026 Winter games...but finding bidders hasn't been easy.Six European cities pulled out of official bids or possible bids when the IOC looked for candidates a few years ago for the 2022 Winter Olympics.The cities balked over soaring costs, political unrest or a lack of public support.Now, the IOC is trying to rebrand, billing itself as user friendly and at the service of host cities â and not the other way around.Its talking up flexibility and cost cutting, trying to change the IOCâs image of pressuring cities to build new sports venues that quickly become unused.Four cities have shown preliminary interest for 2026: Stockholm, Sweden; Calgary, Canada; Sion, Switzerland; and Sapporo, Japan.Calgary and Sapporo have hosted previous Winter Olympics...Sweden has never held the Winter Olympics.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.
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
