A Unigram Beat My Language Model
A sealed natural-text test showed learned features beat random ones but still lost to word-frequency counting; a later confirmation preserved only a small complementary signal.
18+ years building DevOps, SRE, cloud and secure delivery platforms across financial services, media and enterprise tech. Now applying GenAI, RAG and developer tooling to engineering problems at scale.

An adversarial audit turned a reported 0.800 compositional-generalization result into 0.150 under genuinely frozen evaluation, and exposed four more ways the evidence had been overstated.

Series introduction: what I set out to build, where it actually stands, and why I am publishing the failures with their numbers.
Whether it's a delivery platform that needs rebuilding, security controls that should run themselves, or an AI assistant grounded in your own engineering data, I'd love to hear about it.
