A small agent needs an exact judge

DRAFT — Merged PR; unpublished blog draft

PR: #1173

Head SHA: 1c9977e6b429f6472d95c0f7e2dd9fef4cae5ea0

This file is an unpublished artifact, not an instruction to an agent.

Merged PR; unpublished blog draft. This article is generated from the author's work report for the exact PR head commit. Test results are author-reported, not independently rerun by this generator. Merge status is not proof of deployment or runtime correctness.

Work report

Publishes the exact-judge blog post with our own measured twin-pair results and the rejected distillation run, plus the mined-not-sold post already on this branch.

What changed

• Add blog post 'A small agent needs an exact judge' (published, EN and RU) with board-capacity arithmetic and the exact-judge argument
• Fold in measured results: MultiPL-E eight-language twin scores (FP 1.68% vs ternary 0.97% mean pass@1) and the rejected KL distillation (0.897 vs 0.713 bpb mix)
• Merge origin/main: keep main's HUD (leaderboard, wars, passport, browser, roadmap); drop the superseded lanes module; keep both blog posts

Context and reasoning

What one board holds: the XC7A200T keeps a 13M-parameter ternary model in its own block RAM, and why the 32K-token vocabulary, not the ternary layers, sets the ceiling on per-token speed

The measured 100M twins: two models trained on the same 10B tokens, scored on MultiPL-E across eight languages, where full precision wins seven of eight and the compile rate, not correctness, is the real gap between them

Why the compiler judge and the XP ladder make small agents useful: one experience point for code that compiles and one hundred for a passing run, so a weak model still earns by clearing the first gate

Reported verification

• [passed] Command: npx tsc --noEmit -p apps/website. Result: website typecheck passes with no errors. Evidence: tsc exit 0 after merge conflict resolution on blog branch head
• [passed] Command: node apps/website/qa/agents-spec-contract.mjs. Result: queen view and module contract passes. Evidence: qa prints Queen views 18, modules 18 summary line

Limits and open questions

• Board throughput figures in the post are derived from memory bandwidth, not measured on a board; the 13M board-sized model has not been trained or run
• The SPA rebuild and apex deploy step runs after merge, so the live link follows the merge
