Sonus Needle Pathway Shadow
Fine-tuned Cactus Compute Needle checkpoint for Sonus request-scoped pathway
tools. The model emits bounded route_NN, slot_NN, confirmation, or stay
calls; the Sonus runtime validates every call against the active graph.
This checkpoint is shadow-only. It must not control caller state without an
independent acceptance gate and authoritative fallback.
Evaluation
- Independent stress/Noura full-schema gate: 41/77 (53.2%).
- Guard-first, MiniLM top-two request shape: 50/77 local result accuracy.
- High-confidence route acceptance (
margin >= 0.15): 27/48 accepted,
27/27 correct on the disjoint gate.
- Local ONNX latency: approximately 254 ms median, 339 ms p95 on the evaluation
host.
The full-schema score is not sufficient for authority. The staging deployment
keeps Ministral authoritative and records only value-free Needle comparisons.
