"""Surrogate-1 v2 — DiffAdapt difficulty-adaptive routing. Reference: arxiv.org/pdf/2510.19669 (Difficulty-Adaptive Thinking, 2025-10) Detects U-shape entropy on prompt embeddings → routes: • easy → fast direct answer (≤256 tokens, no block) • medium → standard (1024 tokens) • hard → deep deliberation (4096 tokens, force ...) Saves ~40% tokens at parity vs uniform-budget. No retrain needed — routing happens at decode time. Heuristic implementation (no logit access needed): difficulty proxied by features the model can observe before generating — • prompt length (longer → harder) • code-block density (more code → harder) • math-keyword density (more math → harder) • cite/verify keywords (verification ask → harder) • simple Q&A patterns (definitional → easier) Use as preprocessor for any inference call. Plays well with our zero-gpu-bridge.sh + free-LLM ladder.
