Initial release: ENSEMBLE training-free AI — compressed .exp experts + Kuramoto brain
1f71c7d verified | """Render benchmark results into RESULTS.md (honest, with the transformer column). | |
| Reads results_all.json (from run_benchmark.py) and emits a markdown report | |
| including: | |
| - the D-scaling table for ENSEMBLE (facts / qa / prose) | |
| - a head-to-head with published 1B transformer numbers (TinyLlama-1.1B, | |
| Pythia-1B), clearly labeled as PUBLISHED vs MEASURED | |
| - an honest verdict: where ENSEMBLE wins, where it loses | |
| The transformer numbers are taken from their model cards / published evals | |
| and cited. They are NOT re-measured here (no GPU, no trillion-token training). | |
