Abstract: Analysts require attribution, as nothing can be reported without knowing the source of the information. In this paper, we will focus on automatic methods for attribution, linking each sentence in the summary to a portion of the source text, which may be in one or more documents. We explore using a hybrid summarization, i.e., an automatic paraphrase of an extractive summary, to ease attribution. We also use a custom topology to identify the proportion of different categories of attribution-related errors.

Google Gemini 3 Just Killed Every AI Benchmark, Including the Hardest of All

Two weeks ago I read a line about tool use with Claude that stuck in my head. Paraphrased:

<blockquote>
Direct tool calls don’t really scale. 
Have the model write code that uses tools, and execute that code instead.
</blockquote>

At the same time, I was knee-deep in wiring a JavaScript execution environment into Contenox, my self-hosted runtime for deterministic, chat-native AI workflows.

So of course the thought was:

<blockquote>
What if I just let the model write the JavaScript and run it inside the runtime? 😅
</blockquote>

This post is about what happened when I tried exactly that.




<h2>
 
 
 What is Contenox?
</h2>

Very short version:

<blockquote>
Contenox is a self-hostable runtime for sovereign GenAI applications. 
It models AI behavior as explicit state machines, not opaque prompt chains.
</blockquote>

Some key properties:

Runtime, not a library, Explicit state machines, Chat-native interface, Vendor-agnostic &amp; self-hosted, written in go with lots of passion and zero tolerance for shortcuts




<h2>
 
 
 The experiment: ask it to fetch and summarize a TODO
</h2>

Once the JS execution hook was in place (a Goja VM with some globals exposed), I wired up a new state machine: 


<div class="highlight js-code-highlight">
<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>mux_input → moderate → generate_js → run_js → eval_js_result → (repair_js?) → answer
</code></pre>

</div>



Then I opened the Contenox chat UI and typed:

<blockquote>
Me: “Hey Contenox, fetch the TODO item from jsonplaceholder and summarize it.”
</blockquote>

The first attempt didn’t go as planned.

Instead of a neat summary, I got:

<blockquote>
Contenox: 
“I'm sorry, but it seems there was a problem fetching the TODO item from the provided URL due to an Internal Server Error (status code: 500). Unfortunately, I couldn't retrieve any data at this time. My apologies for the inconvenience!”
</blockquote>

I checked manually – Cloudflare was having a moment, JSONPlaceholder was behind it, and the request really was failing. Okay, fair. Long coffee break.

A bit later, I went back to the same chat and typed:

<blockquote>
Me: “okay let's try again now.”
</blockquote>

This time the reply was:

<blockquote>
Contenox: 
<code>Task titled "delectus aut autem" is incomplete. Nothing to summarize here.</code>
</blockquote>

Wait. It worked? Just like that?




<h2>
 
 
 Under the hood: LLM → JavaScript → tools → LLM
</h2>

Looking at the execution trace made it clear what happened.

<h3>
 
 
 1. Input is normalized and moderated
</h3>

The workflow starts with:

<ol>
<li><code>mux_input</code></li>
</ol>

<ul>
<li>
Parses the incoming chat history into a normalized <code>messages</code> array.

<ol>
<li><code>moderate</code></li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Uses a small model to classify the input as safe/unsafe.</li>
<li>Output: <code>0</code> → safe → continue.</li>
</ul>

So far this is standard workflow stuff.

<h3>
 
 
 2. <code>generate_js</code>: the LLM writes JavaScript
</h3>

Next, the <code>generate_js</code> task runs with a system instruction like:

<ul>
<li>“You are an expert JavaScript agent for the Contenox runtime…”</li>
<li>“You must output JSON: { "code": "" }”</li>
<li>“You can use httpFetch, executeTask, executeTaskChain, …”</li>
<li>“Script must be synchronous, no async/await, and must return a JSON-serializable object.”</li>
</ul>

Given the chat history, the model produced something like this (simplified): 


<div class="highlight js-code-highlight">
<pre class="highlight json"><code>{
 "code": "var result;
var answer;
var meta = { steps: [] };

var todoUrl = \"https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1\";

// Step 1: Fetch the TODO item
meta.steps.push(\"Fetching TODO item from \" + todoUrl);
var fetchResponse = httpFetch(todoUrl);

if (!fetchResponse.ok) {
 answer = \"I couldn't access that item right now because there was some trouble with getting it. Please check the URL or try again later.\";
 meta.error = {
 message: \"HTTP fetch failed\",
 url: todoUrl,
 status: fetchResponse.status,
 statusText: fetchResponse.statusText,
 body: fetchResponse.body,
 error: fetchResponse.error
 };
 result = { answer: answer, meta: meta };
} else {
 var todoItem;
 try {
 todoItem = JSON.parse(fetchResponse.body);
 meta.raw = todoItem;
 } catch (e) {
 answer = \"I fetched the item, but I couldn't understand its format. It doesn't seem to be valid JSON.\";
 meta.error = {
 message: \"JSON parse error\",
 rawBody: fetchResponse.body,
 parseError: e.toString()
 };
 result = { answer: answer, meta: meta };
 }

 if (todoItem) {
 // Step 2: Summarize the TODO item using an LLM
 meta.steps.push(\"Summarizing TODO item with LLM\");
 var prompt = \"Summarize the following TODO item in a concise sentence: \" + JSON.stringify(todoItem);
 var summarizeTask = executeTask(prompt, \"gpt-4o-mini\", \"openai\");

 if (!summarizeTask.success) {
 answer = \"While I managed to fetch your TODO details, the summary tool had a hiccup and couldn't provide me with a concise sentence right now. We seem to be experiencing some temporary issues.\";
 meta.error = {
 message: \"LLM task execution failed\",
 task_id: summarizeTask.task_id,
 error: summarizeTask.error
 };
 result = { answer: answer, meta: meta };
 } else {
 answer = summarizeTask.response;
 meta.llmResponse = summarizeTask.response;
 result = { answer: answer, meta: meta };
 }
 }
}

result;"
}
</code></pre>

</div>



A few important details here:

<ul>
<li>
It encodes error handling:

<ul>
<li>If HTTP fails → user-friendly <code>answer</code>, raw error in <code>meta.error</code>.</li>
<li>If JSON parse fails → similar pattern.</li>
<li>If the inner LLM call fails → fallback message.</li>
</ul>


</li>

<li>It delegates the actual summarization to another model via <code>executeTask</code>.</li>

<li>It returns a structured <code>result</code> with both <code>answer</code> and <code>meta</code>.</li>

</ul>

This is not the model “calling tools” directly. It’s the model writing a program that calls tools.

<h3>
 
 
 3. <code>run_js</code>: execute the code in a sandbox
</h3>

The next task is <code>run_js</code>, which is just a Contenox <code>hook</code> that calls the JS sandbox: 


<div class="highlight js-code-highlight">
<pre class="highlight json"><code>{
 "name": "js_sandbox",
 "tool_name": "execute_js",
 "args": {
 "code": "{{.generate_js.code}}"
 }
}
</code></pre>

</div>



Inside the trace you can see:

<ul>
<li>An <code>httpFetch</code> log for the JSONPlaceholder URL.</li>
<li>A response with <code>status: 200 OK</code> when things finally worked.</li>
<li>
An <code>executeTask</code> log with the summarization prompt:

<ul>
<li><code>Summarize the following TODO item in a concise sentence: {"userId":1,"id":1,"title":"delectus aut autem","completed":false}</code></li>
</ul>


</li>

</ul>

The sandbox result looked roughly like: 


<div class="highlight js-code-highlight">
<pre class="highlight json"><code>{
 "ok": true,
 "result": {
 "answer": "Task titled \"delectus aut autem\" is incomplete.",
 "meta": {
 "llmResponse": "Task titled \"delectus aut autem\" is incomplete.",
 "raw": {
 "userId": 1,
 "id": 1,
 "title": "delectus aut autem",
 "completed": false
 },
 "steps": [
 "Fetching TODO item from https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/todos/1",
 "Summarizing TODO item with LLM"
 ]
 }
 },
 "logs": [ ... ],
 "code": "var result; ..."
}
</code></pre>

</div>



<h3>
 
 
 4. <code>eval_js_result</code>: success or retry?
</h3>

Now comes the evaluator:

<ul>
<li>It receives a description of the JS sandbox output.</li>
<li>
The system prompt is very strict:

<ul>
<li>If <code>ok</code> is true and there is a non-empty <code>result.answer</code> → respond with <code>success</code>.</li>
<li>Otherwise → respond with <code>retry</code>.</li>
</ul>


</li>

</ul>

On the successful run, it answered: 


<div class="highlight js-code-highlight">
<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>success
</code></pre>

</div>



So the workflow does not go into <code>repair_js</code> or <code>run_js_retry</code>. Happy path.

<h3>
 
 
 5. <code>answer</code>: extract the final user message
</h3>

The final task, <code>answer</code>, is intentionally boring:

<ul>
<li>System prompt: “You are a purely extractive post-processor. Do NOT invent content. Just surface the best existing <code>answer</code> field.”
</li>
<li>
It gets:

<ul>
<li>First run (<code>run_js</code> result).</li>
<li>Second run (<code>run_js_retry</code>), if any.</li>
</ul>


</li>

<li>

Selection rule:

<ul>
<li>Take the last non-empty <code>answer</code> you see.</li>
<li>Output it verbatim.</li>
</ul>


</li>

</ul>

In our case it found: 


<div class="highlight js-code-highlight">
<pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>Task titled "delectus aut autem" is incomplete.
</code></pre>

</div>



And that’s exactly what Contenox replied in chat.




<h2>
 
 
 Why this is interesting (to me, at least)
</h2>

What I originally set out to build:

<blockquote>
A runtime for deterministic, observable GenAI workflows. 
Tasks, transitions, hooks – all explicit and replayable.
</blockquote>

What I accidentally stumbled into:

<blockquote>
A multi-model, self-orchestrating agent pattern, 
where LLMs write code that uses tools, and the runtime executes and evaluates that code.
</blockquote>

The pattern looks like this:

<ol>
<li>
Planner LLM (<code>generate_js</code>)</li>
</ol>

<ul>
<li>Reads user intent + history.</li>
<li>Emits JavaScript that calls <code>httpFetch</code>, <code>executeTask</code>, <code>executeTaskChain</code>, hooks, etc.</li>
</ul>

<ol>
<li>
Execution environment (<code>run_js</code> in Goja)</li>
</ol>

<ul>
<li>Deterministic execution of that JS.</li>
<li>Full logs of every HTTP call, every inner LLM call, every step.</li>
</ul>

<ol>
<li>
Controller LLM (<code>eval_js_result</code>)</li>
</ol>

<ul>
<li>Looks at the sandbox result.</li>
<li>Decides: is this good enough? Retry? Repair?</li>
</ul>

<ol>
<li>
Repair LLM (<code>repair_js</code>, if needed)</li>
</ol>

<ul>
<li>Gets the previous code + error output.</li>
<li>Writes a fixed version of the JS.</li>
</ul>

<ol>
<li>
Answer LLM (<code>answer</code>)</li>
</ol>

<ul>
<li>Doesn’t “reason” at all.</li>
<li>Just extracts the final <code>answer</code> text safely.</li>
</ul>

All of that is expressed as an explicit state machine in Contenox.

No hidden loops, no undocumented retries, no magic glue code inside some SDK. It’s all visible in the workflow graph and trace.




To me, that’s the exciting part:

<blockquote>
You don’t have to choose between “boring deterministic workflows” and “fancy agents”. 
You can build the agent on top of deterministic workflows. 
And everything stays **self-hosted, inspectable, and auditable if you want.
</blockquote>

Abstract: Knowledge distillation (KD) is a standard route to compress Large Language Models (LLMs) into compact students, yet most pipelines uniformly apply token-wise loss regardless of teacher confidence. This indiscriminate supervision amplifies noisy, high-entropy signals and is especially harmful under large teacher-student capacity gaps. We introduce SelecTKD, a plug-and-play Selective Token-Weighted distillation framework that shifts the focus from "how to measure divergence" to "where to apply learning". At each step, the student proposes tokens that are verified by the teacher through a robust propose-and-verify procedure with two variants: greedy Top-k and non-greedy Spec-k. Accepted tokens receive full loss, while rejected tokens are masked or down-weighted. This objective-agnostic design works with on- and off-policy data, induces an implicit curriculum quantified by Token Acceptance Rate (TAR), and stabilizes optimization. Across instruction following, mathematical reasoning, code generation, and a VLM setting, SelecTKD consistently improves strong baselines and achieves state-of-the-art results for small models without architectural changes or extra reference models.

SelecTKD: Selective Token-Weighted Knowledge Distillation for LLMs

Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) perform strongly across tasks and languages, yet how improvements in one task or language affect other tasks and languages and their combinations remains poorly understood. We conduct a controlled PEFT/LoRA study across multiple open-weight LLM families and sizes, treating task and language as transfer axes while conditioning on model family and size; we fine-tune each model on a single task-language source and measure transfer as the percentage-point change versus its baseline score when evaluated on all other task-language target pairs. We decompose transfer into (i) Matched-Task (Cross-Language), (ii) Matched-Language (Cross-Task), and (iii) Cross-Task (Cross-Language) regimes. We uncover two consistent general patterns. First, a pronounced on-task vs. off-task asymmetry: Matched-Task (Cross-Language) transfer is reliably positive, whereas off-task transfer often incurs collateral degradation. Second, a stable donor-recipient structure across languages and tasks (hub donors vs. brittle recipients). We outline implications for risk-aware fine-tuning and model specialisation.

Donors and Recipients: On Asymmetric Transfer Across Tasks and Languages with Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning

Abstract: While large language models (LLMs) show transformative potential in healthcare, their development remains focused on high-resource languages, creating a critical barrier for others as simple translation fails to capture unique clinical and cultural nuances, such as endemic diseases. To address this, we introduce MedPT, the first large-scale, real-world corpus for Brazilian Portuguese, comprising 384,095 authentic question-answer pairs from patient-doctor interactions. The dataset underwent a meticulous multi-stage curation protocol, using a hybrid quantitative-qualitative analysis to filter noise and contextually enrich thousands of ambiguous queries. We further augmented the corpus via LLM-driven annotation, classifying questions into seven semantic types to capture user intent. Our analysis reveals its thematic breadth (3,200 topics) and unique linguistic properties, like the natural asymmetry in patient-doctor communication. To validate its utility, we benchmark a medical specialty routing task: fine-tuning a 1.7B parameter model achieves an outstanding 94\% F1-score on a 20-class setup. Furthermore, our qualitative error analysis shows misclassifications are not random but reflect genuine clinical ambiguities (e.g., between comorbid conditions), proving the dataset's deep semantic richness. We publicly release MedPT to foster the development of more equitable, accurate, and culturally-aware medical technologies for the Portuguese-speaking world.
