similarity-distance-magnitude (sdm) statistical verification with calibrated confidence estimation
Implements a trained SDM estimator that compares LLM responses against a database of 120,159+ verified examples from the OpenVerification dataset to produce statistically calibrated confidence scores. The estimator extracts similarity, distance, and magnitude features from response pairs and maps them to high-reliability regions (≥90%, ≤89%, <60%, or Out-of-Distribution) using offline calibration at α=0.9, enabling principled confidence estimation without ground-truth labels.
Unique: Uses a trained multi-dimensional SDM estimator with offline calibration against 120K+ verified examples to produce statistically principled confidence estimates, rather than prompt-based self-rating or uncalibrated logits. Implements high-reliability regions (discrete confidence buckets) derived from empirical calibration curves, enabling safe filtering of LLM outputs in production pipelines.
vs alternatives: Provides calibrated, statistically grounded confidence estimates vs. uncalibrated LLM self-ratings or simple prompt-based verification, enabling reliable filtering in automated workflows without ground-truth labels.
multi-model ensemble verification with independent response aggregation
Automatically routes each LLM response to three independent verification models (GPT-5.2 via Azure/OpenAI, Gemini-3-Pro via Google, and local Granite-3.3-8B) in parallel or sequential mode, aggregates their outputs, and feeds the ensemble results to the SDM estimator. This architecture isolates verification from the primary LLM, reducing bias and enabling cross-model consistency checks.
Unique: Implements a three-model ensemble (proprietary + open-source) with independent verification paths, allowing the SDM estimator to compare ensemble outputs against training data. Unlike single-model verification, this architecture detects systematic errors by comparing GPT-5.2, Gemini-3-Pro, and Granite outputs independently before aggregation.
vs alternatives: Reduces verification bias by using independent models vs. single-model re-verification, and enables hybrid cloud/on-premise deployments vs. cloud-only or local-only approaches.
llm integration layer with multi-provider api abstraction
Implements a unified API abstraction for calling three LLM providers (OpenAI/Azure GPT-5.2, Google Gemini-3-Pro, local Granite-3.3-8B) with consistent request/response handling, error recovery, and rate limiting. The layer handles provider-specific authentication, request formatting, and response parsing, allowing the SDM estimator to treat all three models as interchangeable verification backends.
Unique: Implements a unified API abstraction for three heterogeneous LLM providers (proprietary cloud + open-source local), with consistent error handling and rate limiting. Unlike provider-specific SDKs, this approach enables seamless provider switching and ensemble verification without duplicated code.
vs alternatives: Provides unified multi-provider integration vs. provider-specific code, and enables ensemble verification vs. single-provider fallback.
configuration and constants system with environment-based customization
Implements a centralized configuration system that manages SDM estimator hyperparameters, file access control rules, LLM provider credentials, and calibration thresholds. Configuration is loaded from environment variables, YAML files, or Python constants, enabling deployment-specific customization without code changes. Includes validation and default values for all configuration options.
Unique: Implements a centralized configuration system with environment-based customization and validation, enabling deployment-specific behavior without code changes. Unlike hardcoded constants, this approach supports multi-environment deployments and credential management.
vs alternatives: Provides environment-based configuration vs. hardcoded constants, and enables credential management via environment variables vs. config files.
data persistence and model artifact management with versioning
Implements storage and retrieval of trained SDM models, calibration curves, training datasets, and feedback buffers using a file-based or database backend. Includes versioning of model artifacts, checkpointing during training, and recovery from incomplete training runs. Supports both local file storage and cloud storage backends (S3, GCS).
Unique: Implements model versioning and checkpointing with support for both local and cloud storage, enabling resumable training and model rollback. Unlike simple file storage, this approach includes metadata tracking and recovery mechanisms.
vs alternatives: Provides versioned model storage vs. single-version storage, and supports cloud backends vs. local-only storage.
reasoning with sdm verification for multi-step task decomposition
Enables LLM clients to use SDM verification as a reasoning tool within multi-step task decomposition workflows. The LLM can call reexpress_verify to check intermediate results, adjust reasoning based on confidence levels, and request re-verification if confidence is low. This creates a feedback loop where verification guides task decomposition and error recovery.
Unique: Integrates SDM verification into LLM reasoning loops, enabling confidence-guided task decomposition and automatic error recovery. Unlike post-hoc verification, this approach uses confidence feedback to guide reasoning strategy during task execution.
vs alternatives: Enables confidence-guided reasoning vs. post-hoc verification, and supports automatic error recovery vs. manual intervention.
dynamic model updates with feedback incorporation (reexpress_add_true, reexpress_add_false, reexpress_add_ood)
Provides three MCP tools that allow users to incrementally update the SDM estimator with feedback without full retraining: reexpress_add_true marks a response as correct, reexpress_add_false marks it as incorrect, and reexpress_add_ood flags it as out-of-distribution. These tools update an in-memory feedback buffer that can be periodically flushed to the training dataset, enabling the estimator to adapt to domain-specific patterns over time.
Unique: Implements lightweight feedback tools (reexpress_add_true/false/ood) that update an in-memory buffer without triggering full retraining, enabling incremental adaptation to domain-specific patterns. Unlike batch retraining, this approach allows production systems to incorporate user feedback in real-time while maintaining estimator stability.
vs alternatives: Enables online adaptation to domain shift vs. static pre-trained models, and avoids expensive full retraining cycles vs. batch-only feedback systems.
high-reliability region calibration with discrete confidence buckets
Implements offline calibration of the SDM estimator using empirical calibration curves at α=0.9, mapping SDM feature vectors to discrete confidence regions: ≥90% (high confidence), ≤89% (medium confidence), <60% (low confidence), or Out-of-Distribution. Calibration is performed once during training and stored as lookup tables or decision boundaries, enabling fast inference without per-query calibration overhead.
Unique: Uses empirical calibration curves computed at α=0.9 to map SDM features to discrete confidence regions, with explicit out-of-distribution detection. Unlike continuous confidence scores, this approach provides interpretable, statistically grounded buckets that can be directly used for rule-based filtering without threshold tuning.
vs alternatives: Provides calibrated, interpretable confidence buckets vs. uncalibrated continuous scores, and includes explicit OOD detection vs. simple confidence thresholding.
