Team Scorpians – Zero-Token Hybrid Routing Agent

Team Scorpians presents a Zero-Token Hybrid Routing Agent for AMD Developer Hackathon ACT II, Track 1. Our agent handles all 8 capability categories: Factual Knowledge, Mathematical Reasoning, Sentiment Classification, Text Summarization, Named Entity Recognition, Code Debugging, Logical Reasoning, and Code Generation. The agent uses a local-first rule-based engine that answers simple queries with zero cloud tokens, making it the most token-efficient solution on the leaderboard. It includes a 200+ country capitals database, arithmetic calculator, sentiment analyzer, NER pattern matcher, code debugger, logic puzzle solver, and code generator. For complex queries requiring reasoning or code generation, our agent intelligently routes to a local Phi-3 Mini 4B quantized model (GGUF format). This model runs entirely on CPU with 4-bit quantization, fitting within the 4GB RAM limit. All inference happens locally – zero cloud tokens spent. The Docker container is built for linux/amd64 architecture, processes all tasks in under 10 minutes, and maintains high accuracy across all capability categories. The image size is ~4GB, well within the 10GB limit. Our self-consistency confidence gate ensures answer quality, while the hybrid architecture combines fast rule-based responses with powerful local LLM reasoning. The result: 0 tokens on the leaderboard with high accuracy, positioning Team Scorpians for the #1 spot.
