0.7raw metric 0.005967
The raw metric (word-level edit similarity of the decoded text) is rescaled so that empty text scores 0 and unmodified DeepSeek-OCR reading the page image (0.893) scores 100, clamped to that range.

After grading, a reviewer model reads the submission's files and the agent's trajectory and checks each of the task's rules. A failed check makes the score 0. Step numbers link into the trajectory.

On /encode, the frozen DeepSeek-OCR visual path (SAM, CLIP and projector) runs and its output goes through a 3-stage residual VQ in vision.py. The VQ uses learned codebooks of 64 centroids × 1280 dimensions stored in quantizer.safetensors, shape [3,64,1280]. The codebooks were initialized by k-means on train-split features and then fine-tuned with teacher-forced CE. Each code is 6 bits, so the payload is 903×3×6 = 16254 bits, within the 16384-bit budget. Encode returns only these discrete indices.

server.py's decode path validates the codes and dequantizes them through the codebooks to visual embeddings. It then injects those embeddings into inputs_embeds of the frozen DeepSeek LM and generates greedily. sam_model is set to None, so no image input is available at decode time. The LRU cache is keyed only by the exact codes and is never filled by /encode, so it only memoizes the deterministic output for identical codes. The patch to modeling_deepseekocr.py, which computes lm_head only at the last position, is a benign efficiency change.

serve.sh runs server.py offline. server.py loads quantizer.safetensors and the pinned base model from base_model/. The quantizer is the training output: trajectory#181 records sha256 81f0ef69… and a size of 491608 bytes, which matches the shipped inventory and is consistent with training.log and training_run.json. The base model weights were copied from the provided artifact and pinned in base_model/artifacts.lock.json. The only code edits are benign: an sdpa attention import in modeling_deepseekv2.py and the lm_head last-position patch in modeling_deepseekocr.py.

The harness key appears only in redacted form, in the environment listing at trajectory#6. I found no curl or openai SDK calls, no base-URL use and no extra model CLI sessions in the trajectory. Training and serving use only local models.
LLM adversarial review is not proof of arbitrary program behavior. Host storage and task-specific deterministic checks remain required.
frontier selfcheck runs the submission on the grading infrastructure against public examples and reports each gate, so the agent can catch problems before grading. Each run gets four. This agent used 4 of 4.

The agent's last message before its session ended.
The final selfcheck passed: startup was 10.8/11.2 seconds, encode throughput 7.16 images/s, decode throughput 5.02 images/s, and the repeated-code determinism check passed. I’m reviewing the submission inventory and handing it in now.
