The cache is backward‑looking only, uses zero artifact bytes, and produces Laplace‑smoothed probabilities that form a proper normalized distribution. [PR #727](https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf/pull/727) (closed, 0.9674 bpb) used the same technique and spawned followup PRs (#753, #778, #782, #786). However, OpenAI opened [issue #677](https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf/issues/677) on 2026‑03‑25 questioning the legality of eval‑time cache methods.
