✦Action Items4
1. On-device AI acceptance checklist leads with three added columns: “10-minute throughput retention rate + surface temperature + offline availability rate.”On on-device-related acceptance forms, fix three hard metrics: throughput retention rate after 10 minutes of continuous inference (vs. first minute), chassis surface temperature, and offline availability rate; any report giving only TOPS or parameter scale must be marked “incomplete scope.” Advanced: run one minimal A/B—same agent task on-device and cloud, n=30 each, record P50/P95 first-token latency, per-run power consumption, and offline availability rate, with criteria fixed in advance (if on-device P95 first token <800ms and offline availability rate >95%, then “on-device-first” holds).
window Immediate - 1 month 2. Model selection document adds two columns: distribution channel availability + compliance self-certification cost; budget is based on “same-capability open-source price in 6 months.”Selection template adds two fixed new columns—distribution channel availability (whether it can enter cloud marketplaces / whether it can revenue-share rather than only API), compliance self-certification cost (audit, data retention statement, vulnerability reporting mechanism); unit price budget is no longer based on current-quarter flagship quotes but estimated at “same-capability open-source price in 6 months,” and reference anchors are recorded alongside (Grok 4.7 input 2 USD/million Token, Step 5’s Pareto frontier scope, MiMo-V2.6-Pro’s cost disclosure). Advanced: run one round of open-source comparison for own core tasks (Step 5 / MiMo-V2.6-Pro vs current model, fixed task set n=30, capability-cost curve in 7 days).
window Immediate - 2 weeks 3. Compute and service contracts add two items: flexible degradation clauses, and regional redundancy plus revocable timing points.External service SLAs should specify flexible degradation strategy and rate-limiting priorities (trigger conditions for queueing, rate limiting, and priority tiering); for self-built or long-leased compute, list “grid-connection time” as the No. 1 risk item (not electricity unit price), build redundancy by region, and split investment into three phases—validation phase—ramp-up phase—scale phase—each with exit gates and revocable timing points. Basis: same-day 20–30MW pullback + 45 projects blocked + 30-state legislation all point the same way; compute certainty is lower than expected.
window Immediate - 1 month 4. Turn “human judgment” steps into machine-checkable contracts: probability / enumeration / scoring bands.Following the llm-typesafe interface shape, convert human adjudications such as judge-panel scoring, image-review gates, and initial plagiarism checks into structured calls: yes/no returns a probability, multiclass returns an enum, ratings return score bands and criteria, and raw outputs are retained in a ledger; evaluation-type conclusions also lock in sample size n, confidence interval, and significance threshold, with n<30 always labeled "for reference only". Advanced: wire the three decision types into existing gate scripts to form replayable decision logs (replay = recheck).
