Solve it, then do it cheaper.

teleon.dev/docs/q16 holds tasks that produce a first verified solution and then compete to cut its cost, latency or model calls while every check stays green.

3First solution42 cents25 of 25 checksIncumbent

The challenger passes the same 25 checks at a quarter of the cost, so it becomes the incumbent.

What it does

First solution

A verified answer or harness bundle comes first.

Then compete

Challengers try to beat the incumbent on cost and speed.

Checks stay green

A challenger wins only when the same checks pass.

The contract

A queue cell owns one kind of task end to end: its rows, its leases and its hand-offs.

Full glossary

Pareto frontier: The set of options where improving one measure, such as cost, would worsen another, such as quality.
Deterministic check: A check written as code that gives the same answer every time for the same input, at code speed and cost.
Holdout: Test data kept apart from training and tuning, so scores on it show real performance.
