+
+The client-tier release of the Thai G2P distillation: run-003,
+ByT5-small student on the full label set (48,757 usable beam-4 labels
+from the B-K/umt5-thai-g2p-v2-0.5k teacher). Same harness as

+test sentences, `src/gpu/modal_distill.py::evaluate_per`; checkpoint
+re-measured 2026-08-22 for this release).
+
+| Model | PER | Exact match |
+|---|---|---|
+| Teacher (B-K/umt5 hub base) | 4.43% | 95.57% |
+| **Student (ByT5-small, client rung)** | **12.06%** | 87.94% |
+
+Shrink cost +7.63pp — outside the +5pp server-tier gate (that gate is
+met by tha-g2p-base-1.0 at 9.19%): shipped anyway per the frontier
+below, as the smallest artifact that does not collapse. Exported at
+int8 (~300MB); see the frontier table for why no smaller rung exists
+today.
+
+## Client-tier size–quality frontier (2026-08-22)
+
+Thai G2P, same harness (beam-4 corpus PER, 1,219 Kaikki sentences; teacher
+B-K umt5 4.43%):
+
+| Student | Init | Params | Artifact (int8) | PER |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| custom 8+8 d384 | random | 33M | ~30MB | 75.80 (collapsed) |
+| custom 8+8 d384 + bridges | random | 33M | ~30MB | 71.12 |

+| ByT5-base (server tier) | pretrained | 580M | 1.2GB fp32 | 9.19 |
+
+Findings: (1) random-init byte-level seq2seq collapses regardless of
+capacity at this scale — the microkimi bridges improve structure (75.8 →
+71.1) but cannot rescue G2P accuracy; enlarging without pretraining does
+not help (70M = 78.5). (2) ByT5-small's width (d=1472) dominates its
+parameter count — depth-pruning yields no useful intermediate rung
+(263M). (3) The pretrained rung is the whole quality cliff: 300M at
+12.06% (run-003, full labels; 12.63% on the 23K subset) vs 70M at 78.5%.
+
+Conclusion: G2P client tier ships at the ByT5-small rung (~300MB int8)
+today; a 30–70MB G2P tier requires byte-level pretraining of the small
+model first (future work). Copy-task languages (Arabic/Hebrew
+diacritization) have a different viability and are evaluated separately.
