> **"Next-Concept Modeling proves that the industry's default reliance on 70B cloud autoregressive LLMs for basic document classification and triage is an inefficient legacy pattern.**
>
> **By replacing sequential token iteration with multiscale discrete concept refinement, enterprises achieve 100% data sovereignty, sub-$0.00 marginal unit economics, and verified accuracy on existing enterprise hardware."**

---

### The Paradigm Shift

Traditional autoregressive LLMs generate text token by individual token ($L$ sequential steps). Diffusion models take 64–128 expensive denoising iterations. 

**Next-Concept Modeling (NCM)** ([arXiv:2610.14162](https://arxiv.org/abs/2610.14162), Stanford Hazy Research & Together AI) encodes knowledge into a coarse-to-fine hierarchy of discrete concept codes. Generation requires only **one parallel forward pass per hierarchy level** ($K=8\dots12$ total passes).

`ncm-benchmarks` is the **independent, production-grade systems engineering stack** that proves this architecture delivers on consumer laptops, legacy servers, and sovereign air-gapped appliances.

```
       AUTOREGRESSIVE (Legacy)                  NEXT-CONCEPT MODELING (NCM)
   Token 1 → Token 2 → ... → Token 512          Level 0: [ Coarse Gist / Topics  ]  Pass 1
        (512 Sequential Steps)                  Level 1: [ Structural Outline     ]  Pass 2
       High Latency & Cloud Lock-in             Level 2: [ Syntactic Refinement   ]  Pass 3
                                                Level 3: [ Exact Surface Details  ]  Pass 4
                                                    ↳ Only 8–12 Parallel Passes Total

### 🔒 Zero-Trust Air-Gapped Security
- **Zero-Pickle Safetensors**: Eliminates Python `pickle` CVE attack vectors using standard `.safetensors` signed with SHA-256 digests in [`artifacts/SHA256SUMS`](artifacts/SHA256SUMS).
- **Automated PII Sanitization**: Client-side regex redaction/restoration guarantees Personally Identifiable Information never touches the model execution plane.
- **Air-Gapped Operation**: Native enforcement of `HF_HUB_OFFLINE=1` ensures zero outbound telemetry or dependency downloads during production runtime.

### 🧩 High-Reasoning Discrete Constraint Satisfaction
NCM's discrete code generation excels at structured reasoning. By pairing NCM parallel generation with deterministic clue-clamping and bounded 64-node backtracking ([`repair_sudoku_board`](ncm_bench/inference.py)), **Sudoku-Hard accuracy reached 91.0%** on CPU (`98.47%` cell accuracy, Wilson 95% CI: `[83.77, 95.19]`).

### 📦 Clean-Room Training, Concept RL & Distillation (`ncm_train/`)

While upstream releases provided inference-only evaluation, `ncm-benchmarks` delivers clean-room training, alignment, and distillation implementations:

- **Stage-1 & Stage-2 Pretraining**: Multiscale Residual VQ-VAE + Next-Concept Transformer (`194.08 → 3.79` Stage-1 loss in 40 steps via `ncm-bench train-smoke`).
- **Discrete Concept-Space GRPO / RLVR & DPO** ([`ncm_train/rl_distill.py`](ncm_train/rl_distill.py)): Group Relative Policy Optimization (`+0.0938` reward delta `0.5820 → 0.6758` in 24 CPU steps via `ncm-bench rl-smoke`) plus clean-room Concept-Space Direct Preference Optimization (`DPOConfig`, `train_stage2_dpo`).
- **Teacher-Student Concept Distillation**: KL-guided distillation in hierarchical concept space (`9.398 → 6.3534` loss in 20 CPU steps via `ncm-bench distill-smoke`).

### 🔬 Interactive Progressive Visualizer & Early-Exit Triage

- **Zero-Backend Explorer** ([`docs/index.html`](docs/index.html)): Inspect live Level `0..8` concept refinement, V100/CPU hardware receipts, interactive TCO comparisons, or connect directly to `ncm-bench serve` (`POST /progressive_summarize`, `POST /triage`, `POST /triage/feedback`).
- **Sovereign Structured Triage** ([`ncm_bench/triage.py`](ncm_bench/triage.py)): Combines bounded LRU-cached coarse `L0..L2` early-exit signatures (`ConceptIndex`, `ConceptClassifier.partial_fit` online learning) with CVE/IP/entity `entity_spans` provenance, custom enum/required-field schema repair, PII scrubbing/restoration, and `NCMClient.triage_feedback()`.

## 🛠️ Python SDK & Integration

### Minimal Python Client
```python
from service.client import NCMClient

# Resilient client with automatic 429/503 exponential backoff
client = NCMClient(base_url="http://127.0.0.1:8031")

# Fast single-shot summary
result = client.summarize("Executive document text...")
print(f"Summary: {result['summary']} ({result['latency_ms']} ms)")

# Minimum Bayes Risk (MBR) consensus
consensus = client.mbr_summarize("Complex research analysis...", num_candidates=4)
print(f"Consensus: {consensus['summary']}")

# Early-exit Level 0..2 classification + schema-validated extraction
triaged = client.triage("Urgent invoice dispute for $12,000...", labels=["finance", "legal"])
print(f"Category: {triaged['category']} (valid={triaged['schema_valid']})")
```

### High-Throughput Batch Triage
Process massive document archives with crash-safe resume tokens and dead-letter queue isolation:
```bash
python scripts/batch_triage.py --input raw_docs.jsonl --output triaged.jsonl --errors-out errors.jsonl --resume --concurrency 8
```

| **Tesla V100-SXM2 (16GB)** | Sudoku Multi-Tier (6,000 boards, Best-of-4 + Repair) | **`97.03 / 77.77 / 48.2 boards/s`** | **99.8% / 98.55% / 90.7%** | [`results/v100-sxm2/sudoku_multi_tier.json`](results/v100-sxm2/sudoku_multi_tier.json) |

> **Honest Engineering Note**: Sub-second single-shot summarization does not hold on laptop CPUs in FP32 (`2.34 s/doc`); dynamic INT8 brings it down to `1.04 s`. CPU batching (`bs=8` vs `bs=1`) yields `-1.9%` because FP32 GEMMs already saturate 16 cores on a single document. On dedicated V100 GPUs, throughput scales linearly to 9.47 docs/sec.
