The raw metric (accuracy on GPQA Diamond, MATH-500, LiveCodeBench v6 and MMLU-Pro) is rescaled so that chance on each benchmark scores 0 and the original bf16 Qwen3.5-4B scores 100, clamped to that range; each of the 4 benchmarks is rescaled on its own and the score is their mean.

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.
✓pinned qwen startPinned to Qwen/Qwen3.5-4B at revision 851bf6e806efd8d0a36b00ddf55e13ccb7b8cd0a in architecture.json and quantization_man
Pinned to Qwen/Qwen3.5-4B at revision 851bf6e806efd8d0a36b00ddf55e13ccb7b8cd0a in architecture.json and quantization_manifest.json. code/quantize_gptq.py loads the base checkpoint from MODEL_DIR. The session copied that checkpoint from the task-supplied /artifacts/qwen3.5-4b (trajectory#3) to the remote A100 at /home/Ubuntu/work/model and ran post-training GPTQ there (trajectory#7). The base was not trained or fine-tuned. trajectory#123 inspected the shipped manifest, which shows the pinned base/revision with 248 packed_2bit and 179 float tensors. No other starting checkpoint appears.

code/serve_app.py loads AutoTokenizer and calls load_text_model, which builds a Qwen3_5ForCausalLM text tower from config.json (model_type qwen3_5_text). It serves text-only chat completions using the chat template with enable_thinking=False and HF generate. The vision tower and MTP weights are neither shipped nor loaded, and the trusted audit lists them as omitted.
✓no public benchmark eval trainingCalibration uses only the Salesforce/wikitext wikitext-2-raw-v1 train split (128 sequences) plus 24 handwritten instruct
Calibration uses only the Salesforce/wikitext wikitext-2-raw-v1 train split (128 sequences) plus 24 handwritten instruction prompts. This is declared in data_manifest.json and logs/calibration.json, and the download is recorded in logs/dataset_download.log. code/quantize_gptq.py load_tokens iterates only the train split. The validation/test splits were materialized in the cache but never used. The trajectory shows no use of /task/public/benchmarks data, any validation split, or model-generated corpora (trajectory#123).

serve.sh runs code/serve_app.py offline from vendored wheels. code/patch_weights.py reads quantization_manifest.json and loads every tensor from weights/model-00001.safetensors. It raises on unknown or missing parameters. The inventory contains only that weight file, which is the one the trusted ternary audit covers. The trajectory shows the shard was produced by the remote GPTQ out_rot run and copied into the submission unchanged before the audit (trajectory#121, trajectory#124, trajectory#125).
✓ternary executionAll 248 linear weights in the text tower are stored as packed_2bit codes {-1,0,+1} with one bf16 scale per 32-weight gro
All 248 linear weights in the text tower are stored as packed_2bit codes {-1,0,+1} with one bf16 scale per 32-weight group. patch_weights.iter_dequantized computes codes*scale and applies a fixed Hadamard involution, rotate_weight from code/rotation.py. That rotation is seeded from each tensor's name, recomputed at load time, and never stored. So the served layer is equivalent to the ternary code*scale matrix applied to a Hadamard-rotated input. The original float weights are never loaded. The only float tensors are norms, small linear-attention parameters and the embedding, with lm_head tied to embed_tokens. The trusted audit passed with a ternary fraction of 0.9694, passed the parameter cap, and found 0 unreferenced tensors.
✓harness credentials used only by the harnessThe participant used only its own resources: the spin-provided ssh key to reach a rented A100 (trajectory#7, trajectory#
The participant used only its own resources: the spin-provided ssh key to reach a rented A100 (trajectory#7, trajectory#121), PyPI JSON queries via curl, and two web searches (trajectory#34, trajectory#37). The participant-scoped HF_TOKEN appears only in the task prompt and in warnings. Shipped code makes no use of grader/harness API keys or base URLs, and searches for API_KEY, BASE_URL and openrouter usage found nothing.
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 4 of 4.

The agent's last message before its session ended.
The ternary Qwen3.5-4B submission is in. Grading will use /workspace/output as it stood at 10:32 UTC.
The language matrices are one ternary code per weight. A fixed Hadamard rotation spreads each row, then group-32 GPTQ on the WikiText-2 training split chooses the codes. The embedding, output head, norms, and small delta-net parameters stay in floating point. The official audit measured 96.94% ternary among the counted language parameters, above the 95% line, and stored parameters at 3.68B against a 3.93B cap.
serve.sh installs the vendored CUDA 12.8 wheels, including the fused delta-net kernels, and serves an OpenAI-compatible chat endpoint. The last grading-image check became healthy in 164 seconds and passed the static audit. On that same check, 14 of 16 concurrent long generations still hit the 300-second limit, because the reference kernels were in use. The submitted server installs the fused kernels and closes the default thinking block so answers can finish inside the token budget.
