TokenForge v10.0

TokenForge v10.0 is a production-grade Hybrid Routing Engine and AI Cost Governor engineered to solve the enterprise crisis of escalating cloud LLM inference fees and latency overhead. Built in strict compliance with the Track 1 headless container contract, the system automatically processes multi-domain tasks by ingestibing prompts from /input/tasks.json and generating schemas perfectly matching the /output/results.json specification. The core architecture introduces a multi-tier optimization paradigm: Tier 0 (Deterministic Local Solvers): To achieve true token elimination, incoming prompts enter a thread-safe ResponseCache before hitting an 8-Category Regex Classifier. Mathematical, algebraic, text-extraction, and sentiment analysis tasks are intercepted and processed natively using local SymPy, spaCy, and VADER engines. This guarantees 100% precision and records exactly $0.00 in marginal API costs, operating entirely within the zero-token ruleset. Tier 1/2 (Cloud Escalation): When a prompt requires deep reasoning or code generation, the engine dynamically escalates execution via the official Fireworks AI proxy. It actively respects environment runtime flags like ALLOWED_MODELS and enforces category-specific token caps. It prioritizes open-weight Google Gemma models (gemma2-9b-it) to optimize cloud tokens, competing directly for the specialized Google Gemma Prize. Fully concurrent with an 8-worker parallel thread pool, TokenForge v2.0 executes complete task evaluation suites in less than one second under severe headless constraints. Packaged as a clean, multi-architecture linux/amd64 Docker image, it bridges algorithmic precision with absolute cost governance.
