CHERRY: Compressed Hierarchical Experts with Recurrent Representational Yield

Frontier language capability is usually bought with frontier compute; CHERRY shows a different trade. It is a sovereign Korean model family built on one principle: supervise the tokens that decide the answer, and let shared weights carry the rest. Under matched compute this exposes a sharp, reproducible dissociation---selected-token supervision preserves held-out discrimination yet collapses free generation, and a full-sequence anchor recovers only part of the gap. The same signal drives a heal-after-merge recurrent-representational-yield loop that collapses 48 layers to 6 unique blocks at near-dense parity (227M at loss 2.934 vs a 566M dense model at 2.926) and composes them by MoEE fusion (2.789)---a recurrent-compression direction independently pursued by concurrent frontier looped-MoE work, which we project (not yet measure) to frontier scale. It also installs metacognition from two-token supervision (200 held-out KO prompts/type, kappa>0.82, +/-6.9pp): self-correction 12->47% and jailbreak 23->4% at 97.6% loss-retention on 1.2B, with a pre-registered 1B->13.7B ablation localising the operand-binding limit to capacity (1B lookup vs 13.7B H-PRESERVE); and it specializes a 1.8B model to reported human-expert level on CyberMetric (75.0% vs a 30-expert average 72.24%). The released 1.8B tokenizer is 9.2% more Korean-efficient than Gemma-4; the from-scratch 12B adds a sovereign Korean tokenizer (vocab 131,037). On the government-operated K-AI Korean-LLM leaderboard the released 1.8B leads the HLE(Ko) column (0.123 vs 0.077; overall 51/78). At the frontier we fine-tune and serve an adapted 122B model on one 120GB accelerator (83GB measured peak). Provenance differs by member and we state it exactly; the architecture and recipe are ours throughout, and every claim is bound to a released curated measurement.
