What is a twin-model architecture?

Every task involves two models: one executes (generates the code, the answer…), the other reviews and validates it.

Quality and reliability by design.

Where a model comes from and where it runs are two separate questions: a model published in China or the United States, running on our servers in Quebec or on yours, sends nothing back to its publisher.
