Multi-Teacher Verification & Rejection Sampling Pipeline

Overview

High-quality distillation requires eliminating hallucinated shortcuts and circular reasoning paths. The Solstice-AI verification harness executes every candidate trace through a 4-stage automated pipeline before inclusion into the Solace dataset.

1. Stage 2: Compiler & Execution Sandbox

All code synthesis samples are executed inside an ephemeral isolated gVisor sandbox with strict resource constraints (2 CPU cores, 4GB RAM, 10s timeout, zero network access).

from solstice_verify import SandboxRunner

runner = SandboxRunner(
    language="python",
    timeout_seconds=5,
    memory_limit_mb=1024,
    network_enabled=False
)

result = runner.execute_test_suite(
    code=candidate_trace.generated_code,
    unit_tests=candidate_trace.ground_truth_tests
)

if not result.all_passed:
    # Reject candidate or trigger automated self-correction
    reject_trace(candidate_trace.id, reason=result.error_log)

2. Stage 3: Formal Mathematical & Proof Assertion

Mathematical steps are decomposed into intermediate assertions:

1. Symbolic Equivalence Check: Evaluated using SymPy and CAS engines to ensure algebraic transformations hold true at each step.
2. Lean 4 Proof Verification: Olympiad-grade proofs are checked against the Lean 4 formal math kernel.

  24 ∣ (p^2 - 1) := by
  -- Verified formal proof steps extracted from consensus traces

3. Stage 4: Cross-Teacher Consensus Scoring

When multiple frontier models solve the same problem, we compute the semantic overlap of their reasoning graphs:

$$\text{Consensus Score}(T_1, \dots, T_k) = \frac{1}{\binom{k}{2}} \sum_{i < j} \text{GraphSim}(\mathcal{G}{T_i}, \mathcal{G}{T_j})$$

Traces with high agreement on intermediate reasoning landmarks receive higher sampling weights during student fine-tuning.
