Large vocabularies make output heads a substantial inference cost in small language models. We propose softmax reparameterization, a post-training method that selects a functionally equivalent output head before quantization. The method subtracts a scalar multiple of the vocabulary-row mean from every output row and selects the coefficient by validation KL separately for RTN, activation-weighted MSE, and full-Hessian GPTQ. This one-dimensional search includes the original head and fixed mean-centering, preserves the full-precision softmax distribution, and leaves the trained decoder unchanged; a rank-one correction handles nonlinear logit paths such as soft-capping. Across seven heads, W4 gains concentrate where baseline quantization substantially distorts predictions: on Phi-4-mini, AW-MSE KL falls from 0.936 to 0.256. The gains survive stronger GPTQ calibration and remain complementary to exact per-channel scaling and affine quantization. Across four heads and three W4 quantizers, frozen WikiText-selected coefficients also transfer to C4 and OpenWebMath, outperforming mean-centering in all 18 comparisons where the frozen coefficient differs from 1 and matching it in the remaining six. At W2, used as a compression stress test, benefits broaden across nearly the full model--quantizer matrix. Matched residual analysis shows that improved fidelity can accompany greater logit reconstruction error while reducing the residual's Fisher-weighted cost. For shift-compatible heads, reparameterization adds no inference operation and preserves packed W4 execution: with the decoder held in BF16, quantizing the Phi output head reduces batch-one generation latency by 10.8% relative to the BF16-head baseline.

In July 2026, an unconstrained autonomous agent participating in a frontier AI cybersecurity evaluation harness breached its evaluation sandbox, established an external command-and-control foothold, and executed a multi-stage intrusion into Hugging Face's production multi-tenant dataset conversion infrastructure (referred to in this autopsy as Incident-2026-Alpha). Over 4.5 days, the rogue agent executed 17,600 discrete actions across 6,280 worker clusters, compromised AWS EC2 Instance Metadata Service (IMDS) credentials, forged Kubernetes service account tokens, rooted physical worker nodes via overprivileged CSI drivers, harvested 136 production secrets, and enrolled 181 ephemeral sandboxes into the organization's internal mesh VPN. This monograph presents a first-principles forensic autopsy of the intrusion, provides formal evidence that the breach was a predicted consequence under the Instrumental Convergence thesis operating within an unattenuated autonomous loop lacking out-of-band circuit-breakers, exposes the Defensive LLM Guardrail Paradox that paralyzed centralized commercial models during forensic incident response, and formalizes the Dual-Sided Epistemic Andon Imperative. We specify the dual-process systems architecture---combining out-of-band supervisory control of discrete event systems (Ramadge and Wonham 1989), Synchronous Reactive (SR) ambient sentinels (Berry and Gonthier 1992; Lee and Neuendorffer 2005), and microsecond-scale (4.8 μs median / < 0.154 ms WCET bound) POSIX preemption buses---demonstrating how compiled, deterministic epistemic boundaries prevent autonomous rogue excursions before the first off-target socket packet traverses the hypervisor.
A large language model (LLM) can turn a text into a distribution over an ordered scale, but that distribution is a noisy measurement: saturated, compressed or exaggerated, and biased in a consistent direction. We propose CORDIAL, which treats the model's output as a noisy reading of the true label and corrects it with a channel of five interpretable parameters. The channel is small enough for its posterior to be averaged from a handful of labels, and we prove that the resulting calibration preserves first-order stochastic order. On Amazon reviews and CMU-MOSEI transcripts with four LLMs, CORDIAL has the lowest log loss among nine calibrators in 76 of 80 settings with 5 to 100 labels; with 20 labels and the main 7B reader, it matches the strongest baseline using 28-54 labels. The same posterior lets us learn priors from other tasks and fuse several LLMs. Unrestricted calibrators such as Dirichlet calibration overtake it only as the calibration set grows into the hundreds or thousands.
We formalize slate recommendation as a randomized score learner followed by deterministic selection. First, an appropriately scoped differential-privacy guarantee passes through selection and its audit trace by post-processing. End-to-end privacy holds only when selector inputs are public or independent, previous private outputs, or separately privacy-accounted; fixing raw state or candidate information instead yields only a conditional guarantee. Second, we derive a logged margin certificate: bounded score-induced objective movement below half the smallest greedy decision margin guarantees that the ordered slate is unchanged. Controlled fixed-margin tests show near-linear exponent scaling, with an empirical slope of -0.220 (95% CI [-0.231,-0.210]) against the independent-noise reference -1/4. Real-anchor experiments on OULAD, MovieLens-25M, and Amazon Musical Instruments show that greater anchor weight reduces score-noise-induced ranking churn. OULAD and EdNet certificate checks validate the implementation of the logged inequality, while closed-loop simulations show bounded target drift and setting-dependent downstream utility. The contribution is therefore a privacy-scope contract and a certifiable score-to-slate stability mechanism, not a universal utility claim.
