Howzer v2.5.4-DE: a new model generation, trained on the feedback people actually write
Real customer messages are messy: furious capitals, polite cancellations, praise that ends in a complaint. Three core models were retrained on exactly that. Recognition of mixed feedback climbs from 40 to 91 percent, glowing praise is no longer scored as a crisis, and a critical sentence buried in a long message is no longer missed.

You can tune thresholds around a weak model forever. At some point you have to go and fix the model.
For a while, three of the models that read every incoming message had known weak spots, and the system compensated with extra rules layered on top. This release removes the compensation by removing the weakness: the three models were measured against real customer messages, retrained on what the measurements showed, and the workarounds were deleted.
Mixed feelings, finally heard
The hardest messages to read are the ones that carry two things at once. Thanks for the quick help, but this is the third time this year. The previous model tended to hear only the polite half and file the message as positive. The retrained one hears both.
The largest single quality gain in this release. Angry all-capitals messages and politely worded cancellations are covered by the same improvement.
Praise is not a crisis
A wholehearted thank-you note used to be capable of scoring as a critical case, which meant somebody had to look at it. The new model rates praise as praise on its own, without any help from extra rules, while genuine emergencies keep their priority: legal threats, announced cancellations, anything touching safety.
Long messages keep their urgency
A long message used to dilute its own most important sentence. Somebody describing three weeks of back and forth and then mentioning a safety-relevant detail in the last paragraph could be scored as routine. The retrained model picks up every signal it can see, and it still raises no false alarm on long messages that contain nothing urgent at all.
No model changes behind your back
Every model is now tied to one exact published version. Newly published models reach a running installation only through a deliberate, reviewed upgrade, so results cannot shift underneath you between one week and the next.
Suggested replies, validated end to end
The reply engine was put through a full production run on real cases: no falling back to canned text, no invented names or facts, and a suggestion ready in about two and a half seconds. Installations without a graphics card keep the deterministic reply path, which stays honest about what it can and cannot draft.
