October 11 real-checkpoint diagnostics¶
These entry points execute real models. Short runs do not establish the paper's gains. Use a Linux NVIDIA GPU; the verified device was A100. Supply local paths without host identity or SSH configuration.

Public checkpoints and data¶
The base is Qwen/Qwen3-4B-Instruct-2507 at cdbee75f17c01a7cc42f958dc650907174af0554. OPD also requires the same-vocabulary Siye01/Qwen3-4B-Inst-MOPD teacher at b61a9f00b77302b6e947af1215b7cb994b884c4a. Use --checkpoint-path or OPD's --student-path/--teacher-path after downloading locally, and pass IDs and revisions. The runner does not download or upload private data.
GSM8K uses openai/grade-school-math revision 3101c7d5072418e28b9008a6636bde82a006892c. Pass only official train JSONL to the splitter. Deterministic SHA-256 hashing of normalized questions yields a 90%/10% holdout with train, validation, and split.json. Do not use official test as validation. --split-manifest verifies source split, revision, partition hashes, counts, and nonoverlap. Legacy entry points without a manifest do not claim test isolation.

Other papers' full argv is in their GPU receipts' command fields. Replace checkpoints/* with local public snapshots. Receipts store commands, revisions, executing commits, and source hashes, not weights.
Interpretation¶
PIVOT uses separate official Banking77 train-only 385/77 partitions and Qwen2.5-0.5B / 7B. Do not substitute GSM8K paths. Its GPU receipt records commands for all three recipes and pinned checkpoints. All three scored 0% on eight questions; this real mechanism diagnostic retains that result.
Other domains¶
- SGUID: Actual Qwen3.5-9B text path with thinking toggle and a GSM8K train-derived holdout. A100 round one completed; round two failed persistence filtering and recovered exactly. No passing receipt or two-round acceptance. Check actual rendered prefixes, not just accepted parameters.
- Memento3: A public 7B generated world model interacts with real FrozenLake through a bounded AST interpreter. The run falsified the model and failed the task, not successful ARC/Pong reproduction.
- V-CoLA: Real 9B multimodal checkpoint and CIFAR-10 train-only images. Exercises state contribution, visual merging, and exit; constrained first-letter diagnosis is not full generation accuracy.
- Data-Space Iteration: Trains a small UNet teacher from scratch on public CIFAR-10 train images and runs two DMD recipes. Three-seed results are mixed; pooled pixel distance is not paper FID.
Image entry points need the five official CIFAR-10 data_batch_* training files with verified MD5s. Do not substitute test for validation. Methods have their own budget and evaluation contracts; do not rank short diagnostics across domains.
Install extras independently. The micro-LLM llm-evolution extra is not a checkpoint environment:
# Real sparse CUDA kernels (Linux NVIDIA)
python -m pip install -e '.[sparse-decoding-gpu]'
# V-CoLA image processor and Qwen3.5 multimodal runtime
python -m pip install -e '.[multimodal]'
# Train the image teacher and DMD from scratch, with SciPy Fréchet diagnostic
python -m pip install -e '.[data-space-gpu]'
# Pinned Memento3 environment; post-training-gpu provides model dependencies
python -m pip install -e '.[post-training-gpu]' 'gymnasium==1.1.1'
# Option-Channel uses the public Laya checkpoint
python -m pip install -e '.[system-one-gpu]'
Results verify real forward/backward passes, parameter or cache changes, and data isolation. A single seed and a few validation questions do not establish stable gains. LoRA displacement is not full-parameter displacement; persistent cache size is not end-to-end peak memory or latency. Mark evolve integration only when the controller can execute and evaluate the operator. This batch did not promote named papers except the ZIP/ZE optimizers.
