The preprint argues that many failures of 2B–9B open models on real tasks arise from the harness rather than the model. Mingbird is a local-first harness for Windows and Ollama with mechanisms including a byte-level…
HARISSA: Inference-Time Self-Checks for Efficient and Safe Local Language Model Deployment
The preprint uses hidden states before generation and at the end of an answer to predict correctness for local-model deployment. HARISSA fine-tunes both states and uses a single policy to choose among increasingly…
