From 6e0d11472669f869b98a3a4db28563a0e4cec0da Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shay Date: Thu, 4 Jun 2026 07:32:49 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] feat: held-out dev lane + first sound (wrong=0) ratio-chain reader Lands the honest GSM8K iteration instrument and the first verifiable reader, both measured on real held-out data + the sealed test. THE INSTRUMENT (the durable win): - evals/gsm8k_math/holdout_dev/v1: 500 real GSM8K cases CORE was NOT built against. The 50-case train_sample is overfit and hid a sealed wrong=0 breach for weeks. This lane is the un-gameable dev signal. - test_holdout_dev_lane.py: wrong==0 floor (forever) + baseline snapshot. THE READER (a safe pattern, not yet a sealed lift): - generate/derivation/ratio_chain.py: structurally-forced, verifiable chained-ratio reader. Refuse-preferring. - Measured: held-out 500 -> 1 correct / 0 wrong; SEALED 1,319 -> 0 correct / 0 WRONG. It holds the prime directive (zero confab) but its held-out hit did not reproduce on the sealed set, so it is a proof-of-concept of the verifiable-reader pattern, not a real capability gain. Documented as such; not oversold. EVIDENCE: - docs/analysis/real-gsm8k-capability-measurement-2026-06-04.md: the honest finding (real capability 0%, composer 17% wrong on held-out, no separating gate) + why verifiable readers are the path. - Regression: 851 passed, 0 failed. train_sample wrong=0. wrong=0 confirmed on the sealed 1,319 before this touched serving. --- ...gsm8k-capability-measurement-2026-06-04.md | 20 +++ evals/gsm8k_math/holdout_dev/v1/README.md | 13 +- evals/gsm8k_math/holdout_dev/v1/report.json | 6 +- generate/derivation/ratio_chain.py | 153 ++++++++++++++++++ generate/math_candidate_graph.py | 20 +++ tests/test_holdout_dev_lane.py | 12 +- tests/test_ratio_chain.py | 58 +++++++ 7 files changed, 269 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) create mode 100644 generate/derivation/ratio_chain.py create mode 100644 tests/test_ratio_chain.py diff --git a/docs/analysis/real-gsm8k-capability-measurement-2026-06-04.md b/docs/analysis/real-gsm8k-capability-measurement-2026-06-04.md index 7e289c3e..2b7f2373 100644 --- a/docs/analysis/real-gsm8k-capability-measurement-2026-06-04.md +++ b/docs/analysis/real-gsm8k-capability-measurement-2026-06-04.md @@ -91,6 +91,26 @@ one; the open path confabulates.** The ratified strategy locked out the only sou in favor of an unsound one.
