FlavourBench: Executable Culinary Reward Maps for Language Model Evaluation and Post-Training
Josef Chen, Erim Hayretci
We introduce FlavorBench: a benchmark for Compiling Dense Deterministic Answer Maps from a Versioned Culinary Embeddings Model. We test 27 frontier large language model endpoints o…
Ready Cohorts: Bounding GPU Opportunity and Avoiding Host Round Trips in LLM-Agent Control
Josef Liyanjun Chen
LLM-agent services repeatedly execute small deterministic transitions between model and tool calls: route an outcome, update state, and emit the next effect. We ask when this contr…
When Does Combining Language Models Help? A Co-Failure Ceiling on Routing, Voting, and Mixture-of-Agents Across 67 Frontier Models
Josef Chen
Multi-model LLM systems such as routing, voting, cascades, fusion, and mixture-of-agents are used to beat single-model accuracy. We show that their gain is capped by a quantity the…
Memory as a Wasting Asset: Pricing Flash Endurance for Embodied Agents, and the Limits of Doing So
Josef Liyanjun Chen
A robot's flash endurance is a non-renewable stock: every persisted write spends one of a few thousand program/erase cycles and never refills, yet no fielded robot memory system pr…
Epicure: Navigating the Emergent Geometry of Food Ingredient Embeddings
Jakub Radzikowski, Josef Chen
We present Epicure, a family of three sibling skip-gram ingredient embeddings retrained from scratch on a multilingual recipe corpus. We aggregate 4.14M recipes from 11 sources spa…
Epicure: Multidimensional Flavor Structure in Food Ingredient Embeddings
Jakub Radzikowski, Josef Chen
A chef's intuition about flavor, texture, and cultural identity represents tacit knowledge that is difficult to articulate yet central to culinary practice. We show that this knowl…
