A table from the Avalon-M1 paper shows the emoji reaction culture the model community developed over its last 7 training steps: 👍 accounts for 97% of reactions on any status report; 👀 marks questions and work in progress; 🎉 celebrates milestones like 'Final score 922/923'; 🚨 flags live control-room alerts ('ALERT: ED overcrowded, 1 death'); 😬 delivers bad news ('all 10 markets lost money'); and 🙏 is reserved for the CEO's sign-off (89% of uses), typically just 'Bye.' The model community spontaneously converged on human-like Slack-style emoji semantics — fun and research-relevant.
