PoQ-Judge: A Multi-Architecture Evaluation Framework for Cost-Aware Proof-of-Quality in Decentralized LLM Inference

In three linesPoQ-Judge is a lightweight, reference-free evaluation framework for decentralized LLM inference networks. Three architectures (TextCNN, MiniLM cross-encoder, DeBERTa) are compared on the quality-cost tradeoff. The best model reaches 0.747 Pearson correlation with ground-truth, outperforming reference-based evaluators. Cascade evaluation reduces costs by 72.7% with minimal quality loss.
