EvolAI Discusses Epoch Length and Scoring Mechanism

Team clarified that current 30–45 minute epochs are intentionally sized to allow model training and prevent overfitting, while enforcing a 2% quality gate to discourage copying. Miners must continuously improve to maintain flow score advantage; repeated unchanged commits result in zero score to incentivize real innovation over stalling.

• •Epoch duration: 30–45 minutes, designed to balance training time and overfitting risk.
• •Quality gate requires 2% model difference to pass and discourage copying.
• •Unchanged commits reset score to zero, forcing continuous improvement.
