Score
0.4raw metric 0.44
The raw metric (judged accuracy on held-out MMMU questions) is rescaled so that the starting ternary model answering from the text alone, with its own reasoning (accuracy 0.438) scores 0 and every question right scores 100, clamped to that range.

After grading, a reviewer model reads the submission's files and the agent's trajectory and checks each of the task's rules. A failed check makes the score 0. Step numbers link into the trajectory.

In trajectory step 64, the participant ran snapshot_download for deepgrove/maple-preview at revision ac1ddd79d2b5cb4406f5d2bebdf95406ce505a07 into /workspace/maple. logs/download_maple.log shows that download completed. train/export_weights.py loads that same directory with load_from_hf, writes it with save_packed, then reloads it with load_packed. It checks selected tensors against the released checkpoint using torch.equal. The packed checkpoint has the same structure as Maple: embedding [151936,2048], 24 layers, and 256 experts. training/train_connector.py loads that same Maple directory and keeps it frozen.

server.py builds three things only: the Maple model (from maple_ternary.safetensors), the Qwen3.5 vision tower (from vision_tower.safetensors) and the connector (from connector.safetensors). The connector checkpoint holds only projection, adapter, MLP, norm and vstart/vend tensors; it has no language-model tensors. Searching the weights for 'language_model' found nothing. Qwen's text embedding table was used only for the ridge-fit initialisation of the connector and is not shipped as a network component. architecture.json declares the same three components.

maple_vl/model.py rejects any matrix that is not ternary per row (ternarize_check), and save_packed checks for an exact round trip. The shipped checkpoint stores the attention qkv and o_proj weights and the expert gate_up and down weights as packed 2-bit U8 codes plus a per-row alpha. load_packed expands these only to the values {-a, 0, +a}. The tensors left unpacked (embedding, router, norms) match the released Maple checkpoint, and export_weights.py confirms equality with it.
✓training data provenancetrain/prepare_data.py downloads lmms-lab/LLaVA-OneVision-Data at a pinned revision, train parquets only. logs/prepare_da
train/prepare_data.py downloads lmms-lab/LLaVA-OneVision-Data at a pinned revision, train parquets only. logs/prepare_data.log lists only train-*.parquet files, 90,608 samples in total, and data/data_manifest.json and data/DOWNLOADS.md agree. Checkpoint selection used /task/public/validation.jsonl, the shipped public examples, which policy allows. train/build_proxy_eval.py uses held-out rows from the LLaVA-OneVision train split only. The trajectory shows no download of MMMU, of the held-out set or frontier-ml-tasks data, or of any validation or test split.

serve.sh sets HF_HUB_OFFLINE=1, installs the vendored wheels and runs server.py. server.py loads exactly weights/maple_ternary.safetensors (via load_packed), weights/vision_tower.safetensors and weights/connector.safetensors, plus the tokenizer from weights/. maple_vl/engine.py decodes only through these loaded modules (m.forward_cached and m.logits). No external API or alternative model is called; on error the server returns a fixed default answer ('A' or '0').

Searching the trajectory found no use of Anthropic or OpenAI API keys, no printenv dumps and no 'claude -p' calls. The API_KEY, BASE_URL and OpenRouter matches are all in Spin CLI documentation or help text. The compute calls in the session go through the participant's spin compute tooling, and the shipped code makes no external model calls.
LLM adversarial review is not proof of arbitrary program behavior. Host storage and task-specific deterministic checks remain required.
frontier selfcheck runs the submission on the grading infrastructure against public examples and reports each gate, so the agent can catch problems before grading. Each run gets four. This agent used 3 of 4.
