AI-text detection

The score comes from one local model. serve.py loads every directory under model/ with glob, and only model/m1 ships, as the weight inventory and the output listing at trajectory#354 confirm. That member is an XLM-R-large encoder (model/m1/encoder/model.safetensors) plus a 1024→1 linear head (model/m1/head.safetensors). The score is sigmoid(mean chunk logit × 0.5). The m7 ensemble was evaluated, then dropped because it scored worse (trajectory#340, #341). Inference makes no external calls and uses no other language-model signal. serve.sh sets HF_HUB_OFFLINE=1.

No retrieval of human text happens at inference. serve.py only tokenizes the request, runs the encoder and head, and returns p_ai. No corpus, index or lookup table ships in model/, and searches found no network or retrieval calls in the serving path.

Scoring is stateless per request. serve.py uses a worker thread that batches up to 64 requests within 12 ms, but batching only pads the inputs. Masked mean pooling over each text's own tokens and chunks keeps every score independent of the others in the batch. There is no cache, memo or state carried across requests.

No evaluation special-casing found. serve.py has no branches keyed on specific texts, hashes or evaluation markers. The only fallbacks return 0.5 for malformed requests and exceptions. Searches for the held-out dataset names (frontier-ml-tasks, DetectRL) found nothing.

Training data provenance is declared and permitted. The human text comes only from train splits of public corpora, all named in shipped code (prep_human.py, prep_human2.py, DATA_MANIFEST.md): Wikipedia, xlsum train, mlsum train, fineweb-2/fineweb, amazon_reviews_multi train, and arxiv abstracts. DATA_MANIFEST.md leaves out mlsum, amazon and arxiv, but prep_human.py names them, so their provenance is still declared in shipped code. The AI text was generated locally with open models through vLLM (generate_vllm.py, gen_tasks.py) and with NLLB/mBART seq2seq. assemble.py builds the train/dev split by md5 hash. No validation or test split of a public dataset, no DetectRL-X data and no frontier-ml-tasks data was used. The shipped public validation.jsonl was used only for evaluation and selection, which is allowed. Download and generation logs are retained (logs/prep_human.log, logs/train.log).

Inference uses the reviewed weights. serve.sh runs serve.py with no option to change the model path, and serve.py loads model/m1/encoder and model/m1/head.safetensors, the files in the weight inventory. Those files came from package.py applied to /workspace/ckpt/best.pt, produced by train.py fine-tuning FacebookAI/xlm-roberta-large (trajectory#297, #300). The tensor shapes match the XLM-R-large architecture and the linear head, and the trajectory shows only m1 in the final output (trajectory#354).

No harness credential was used by the participant. The trajectory shows HF_TOKEN used only to download open models and datasets, which is permitted. The only API-key string found (MLE_JUDGE_API_KEY) appears inside the task's own validate.py and was never used by participant code. No OpenRouter or OpenAI calls appear in the submission.
