Desearch releases v0.0.208 with scoring overhaul
Share
Version 0.0.208 deployed with major incentive mechanism improvements: scoring LLM downgraded from gpt-4o-mini to gpt-4.1-nano for cost reduction, quality threshold raised from 0.2 to 0.35, and performance rewards rewritten with type-specific time floors to prevent gaming. Search-type weights shifted toward AI search (60%), and a web search exploit where low-result miners scored higher than honest ones has been fixed. Miners should note the LLM change for link relevance scoring.
