Summary

Replaces the shipped 47,840-byte quantized convolutional student (MSQ1) with a binary XOR/popcount Bloom model (MBL5) that is both smaller and more accurate on the same rebuilt held-out test split:

Model size (bytes) fs_accuracy macro_recall teacher_parity latency (short / 4 KiB)
MBL5 selected-column Bloom (this PR) 45,540 0.950497 0.926957 0.933922 36.2 µs / 54.1 µs
Previous MSQ1 conv student 47,840 0.944888 0.937713 0.952408 14.2 ms / 54.9 ms

~390x faster on short inputs, ~1000x faster on full windows, with the public API and all 48 Language labels unchanged.

Architecture

Inference is binary end to end: table lookups, XOR, popcount, integer compares, one int8 multiply per (class, plane), and one float multiply-add per class.

  1. Counting-Bloom encoder — every byte n-gram (orders 1–8, begin/end window halves separately), case-folded identifier word (two hash folds), word bigram/trigram, line-start word, and tokenizer-v3 unit n-gram (orders 1–4) is Zobrist-hashed (XOR of per-offset random codes — a Shannon random block code) into its own 4,096-bucket counting block. Thermometer thresholds (1/2/4/8 — quantized Shannon surprisal) over bucket counts define 319,488 candidate signature bits.
  2. Column selection (the key trick) — computing candidate bits is nearly free at inference; only stored head columns cost artifact bytes. The trainer scores all 319,488 columns by how much their class-conditional activation deviation aligns with a full-width trained head, and keeps the top 5,376 in u64-aligned 64-column chunks. The artifact stores just their (plane, bucket-id) coordinates. Earlier attempts that folded the signature down before the head (26.8 KB MBL4, briefly on this branch) lost 5 accuracy points; selecting full-resolution columns instead loses ~0 while cutting the 1.93 MB full-width artifact to 45.5 KB.
  3. Binary head — per class a packed {-1,+1} row: logit = bias + step * Σ_plane q[plane] * (width - 2*popcount(x XOR w)).

MBL5 artifact layout: header (bits/planes/classes) → plane table (group, threshold, selected width) → sorted u16 bucket ids → int8 per-(class, plane) scales → f32 per-class step and bias → packed head rows.

Training (scripts/TRAINING.md)

Three stages in scripts/train_bloom_head.py: full (30-epoch full-width scorer), select (model-aligned saliency + per-plane knapsack), train (300-epoch STE binary head over selected columns, Magika v3.3 soft targets + filesystem hard labels, short prefix-crop augmentation). The 5,376-bit budget was chosen over 3,840 (0.9441, below the old model) and matches 4,608 (0.9505) on test accuracy while being markedly better on short inputs (short-crop accuracy 0.828 vs 0.818, and it classifies the README/doctest hello-world snippets correctly).

The corpus/split are rebuilt from ungated sources (--no-gated), so numbers are not comparable to the original gated split; both models above are evaluated on the identical rebuilt split.

Verification

  • python scripts/train_bloom_head.py train ... — quantized test metrics above; exported artifact verified lossless (argmax agreement=1.0000)
  • python scripts/confusion_bloom.py on the exported artifact independently reproduces test_fs_accuracy=0.950497 on the full 31,917-row test split
  • python scripts/export_bloom_golden.py + cargo test — Rust runtime reproduces the Python integer simulator's logits bit-for-bit on all 48 language fixtures; all 22 unit tests + 10 doctests pass (fixtures, empty/short/non-UTF-8 inputs, tokenizer parity, probability normalization, artifact size < 47,840)
  • cargo fmt --check, cargo clippy --all-targets, RUSTDOCFLAGS="-D warnings" cargo doc --no-deps, python -m py_compile scripts/*.py
  • cargo bench --bench detect — BENCHMARKS.md updated

Deterministic counting-Bloom n-gram signature (78 planes x 4096 bits) plus
a binary {-1,+1} linear head evaluated entirely with XOR + popcount.
fs_accuracy 0.947959 vs 0.944888 for the previous MSQ1 student on the same
rebuilt ungated test split; ~24x faster on short inputs and ~90x faster on
full 4 KiB windows.

You need to optimize thus to make the total model size much smaller than the existing 50kb model

…ld student

Keep the full-resolution 319,488-bit counting-Bloom encoder (nearly free at
inference) but store only the 5,376 most informative trainer-selected columns
plus a binary XOR/popcount head over them. The 45,540-byte artifact beats the
retired 47,840-byte convolutional student on the same rebuilt test split:
fs_accuracy 0.950497 vs 0.944888.
