L1 quality layer — uses a cheap LLM via the OpenAI-compatible API to
validate translation quality. Designed to be the SECOND line of defense
after L0 (script detection, length, pattern).
Architecture:
- sampler.py — picks 5 representative chunks per job (longest first,
skips L0-failed indices, skips too-short or identical pairs)
- llm_judge.py — OpenAI-compatible client, binary verdict per chunk
(accurate / fluent / correct_language / no_leaks), JSON output,
hard timeout, defensive (never raises), cost estimation built in
- pipeline.py — defensive wrapper that integrates both, never breaks
a translation job, always logs a structured event
Integration:
- 5 feature flags in config.py (QUALITY_L1_ENABLED, _LOG_ONLY, etc.)
- QUALITY_L1_LOG_ONLY=true by default: log-only mode, verdict NEVER
blocks or retries a job
- Reuses the chunks extracted by L0 (no double work)
- Passes the set of L0-failed indices so L1 doesn't re-judge them
- Wrapped in try/except so a misconfigured L1 NEVER breaks a job
Default config: deepseek-chat via DeepSeek API
- Cost: ~0.0003 USD per job (5 chunks)
- Speed: typically 1-2s per call, hard ceiling at 8s
- Easy to swap: just set L1_JUDGE_BASE_URL and L1_JUDGE_MODEL
LLM judge is intentionally a SEPARATE model from the translator
(self-evaluation bias mitigation — Meta/Stanford papers 2024-2025).
Tests:
test_sampler.py — 9 tests covering the sampling strategy
test_llm_judge.py — 22 tests covering init, parsing, mocked API,
cost estimation, env factory
test_l1_pipeline.py — 6 tests covering the wrapper
Total new: 37 tests, all pass
Grand total quality+format: 264 tests passing (0 regression)
All 36 new tests + 111 L0 tests + 117 existing translator tests = 264
Phase 1 (observation) for 2 weeks. Then QUALITY_L1_LOG_ONLY=false
to enable auto-retry via the fallback chain.

Stratified sampler for the L1 quality layer.
|
|
|
|
The L1 layer sends a small number of (source, translation) pairs to a
|
|
cheap LLM for a quality verdict. We don't want to send ALL chunks
|
|
(cost, latency) and we don't want to send random chunks (might miss
|
|
the problematic ones). We use a simple but effective strategy:
|
|
|
|
- Prefer the LONGEST chunks (they contain the most diagnostic
|
|
information per call).
|
|
- Skip chunks that the L0 already flagged (we already know they're
|
|
bad; we don't need the LLM to confirm).
|
|
- Never sample more than `max_samples` chunks.
|
|
- If `min_chunks` chunks aren't available, skip the L1 entirely
|
|
(small documents don't need it).
