Edge-Triage Metrics source
Gemma 4 Good · Global Resilience

Local disaster triage when the cloud is gone.

During floods, wildfires, earthquakes, and hurricanes, volunteers receive messy text reports and photos when connectivity may be unreliable. Edge-Triage uses Gemma 4 on edge hardware to turn each report into a triage label, priority, and conservative next action while keeping humans in control.

Judge guide

Choose the lens you care about.

Edge-Triage has something for field, ML, Gemma, agents, and responsible-AI reviewers. Use this guide to jump straight to the proof that matters for your judging lens.

Competition track fit

Where Edge-Triage fits the Gemma 4 Good tracks.

Edge-Triage is a strong fit for the Main Track because it is a working disaster-response product with clear evidence, safety boundaries, and a judge-ready experience. It also connects naturally to the Impact Track through resilience and trust, and to the Special Technology Track through the local Gemma stack used to make it practical at the edge.

Main Track

Complete judge-facing product and evidence story

Working product experience, guarded live API path, benchmark-backed frontier metrics, notebooks, video assets, and reproducible documentation.

Impact Track

Global Resilience + Safety & Trust

Disaster triage is directly Global Resilience. The constrained labels, conservative next actions, guarded live preview, auditability, and human-control boundary support Safety & Trust.

Special Technology Track

llama.cpp, LiteRT, Ollama, and Unsloth evidence

  • llama.cpp: core GGUF multimodal inference via llama-cpp-python.
  • LiteRT: Google AI Edge / .litertlm download and backend scaffolding.
  • Ollama: checked-in Modelfile for local one-command packaging.
  • Unsloth: GGUF model source and fallback download path for the submitted Gemma 4 artifacts.
Live demo switch

Switch between the two judge experiences.

Volunteer Mode shows field-facing triage. Optimization Mode shows the frontier evidence behind the submitted profile.

Volunteer Mode

Pick a field report. See what the volunteer sees.

Curated showcase mode is intentionally simple: choose one of the fixed public-safe scenarios below and the right-hand card updates with the related image and analysis. Switch to Live Gemma preview only when you want to upload a new image to the guarded API.

Reproduce and inspect

Three ways judges can go deeper.

The live site is the fastest review path, but the repository also includes runnable notebooks for judges who want to inspect the Gemma 4 setup, the benchmark ledger, and the research loop directly. Use the notebooks from the public GitHub repository; no secrets are required for the offline analysis path.

Full codebase

Clone and run locally

Use the repository for the working product experience, guarded live API, CLI, tests, Docker files, metrics ledger, and media assets. This is the best path for reviewers who want the complete implementation.

Gemma 4 inference walkthrough

Shows the competition-facing notebook flow: install dependencies, locate or download the GGUF model/projector, run a multimodal triage example, and connect the demo back to the current frontier. In Google Colab or Kaggle, use a GPU runtime and expect model downloads unless artifacts are already attached.

Research ledger explorer

Reads results.tsv and visualizes keep/discard outcomes, F1-over-time, and the autonomous optimization history. It is intentionally secondary to docs/CURRENT_FRONTIER.md, which filters diagnostic artifacts for public claims.

Evidence

Why this matters in a real disaster response.

Edge-Triage is designed for the messy middle of a crisis: reports arrive fast, connectivity is uncertain, and responders need conservative routing support they can audit later. The product evidence connects the story to measured runs, public-safe scenarios, and reproducible documentation.

Local Gemma 4

Text and photos can stay near the incident.

Gemma 4 is central because the same local multimodal model family can read short field notes plus image context, run through GGUF/llama.cpp-style edge packaging, and support both the volunteer workflow and the research evaluation loop.

Human-safe workflow

The app routes; responders decide.

The output is intentionally constrained to a label, priority, latency, confidence context, and conservative next action. It supports incident command and trained responders; it does not replace them.

Reproducible proof

Public claims trace back to runs.

The speed and accuracy profiles are tied to run IDs in results.tsv and summarized in docs/CURRENT_FRONTIER.md, keeping README, demo, video, and Kaggle writeup claims aligned.

Known limits

Honest fallback, human review required.

Ambiguous reports still need responder judgment. Live Gemma preview is guarded and rate-limited, so the curated showcase remains the reliable public review path; no medical or incident-command authority is delegated to the model.

Personal challenge, practical roadmap

This challenge is also personal.

Edge-Triage is shaped by lived proximity to crisis: being a refugee from a young age, spending eight years in a war-area context, and running an NGO that helps other NGOs use AI responsibly. The roadmap is not abstract future work; it is the direction needed to make local, human-led disaster support useful for real responders.
