plawanrath/static-student-tel-stub12k-v2-XS-w4

Superseded pilot. Trained on a stub-teacher curriculum before the real teacher curriculum existed. Kept for the record; the tel-mlx-* models in the same collection are the ones every reported number was taken on.

A 4-bit quantization-aware byte-level telemetry student (XS: 3 layers, d_model 96, 4 heads), distilled from the float student plawanrath/static-student-tel-stub12k-v2-XS-fp, from the static-student project (Weights as Constants: compiling distilled task models into native executables as read-only data). Code, RUNBOOK and results: https://github.com/plawanrath/static-student.

What the model does

Input: the raw bytes of one telemetry payload (a metric line in one of many ad-hoc formats). Output: per-byte span pointers for the metric name, value and unit, a unit class, a value score, and a defer logit. The student is meant to run only on payloads a frozen regex parser rejects, and to answer only when its confidence clears a threshold certified on the integer kernel that ships; everything else is deferred. It is a research artifact for one synthetic task family, not a general log parser.

Training

Files

• model.safetensors, config.json — framework-neutral weights and constructor arguments.
• student.pt — the original PyTorch checkpoint the RUNBOOK commands expect (torch.load, dict with config, state, bits).
• train_report.json — the training log above.

How to load

git clone https://github.com/plawanrath/static-student && cd static-student && bash scripts/env/setup.sh

from static_student.student.release import load_released
model, cfg = load_released("plawanrath/static-student-tel-stub12k-v2-XS-w4")

To compile it into a certified binary (needs a C compiler, make, RE2):

.venv/bin/python scripts/release/download_hf.py tel-stub12k-v2-XS-w4
.venv/bin/python -m static_student.build --spec specs/telemetry.spec --model models/tel-stub12k-v2-XS-w4 --out build/tel-stub12k-v2-XS-w4

Limitations

• Trained and evaluated on synthetic telemetry payloads rendered from format families; never on production traffic. Numbers above are on held-out synthetic families.
• The certificate is a statistical bound on the rate of wrong accepted answers under the calibration distribution; it says nothing about inputs from other distributions.
• The research project was concluded without a publication; the model is released as-is for reuse and reproduction and is not maintained.
