Translate v2
negative resultModel evaluation bench for the Kuku Yalanji training run. This page tracks the full v8-v20 diagnostic ladder, saved outputs, downloads, and resource profiles from each RunPod run.
Where the model is after 48 hours
The training pipeline works. v20 trained the full candidate corpus and fixed the length-compression failure, but it also proved that scale alone is not enough. The hard problem is now product routing, mixture control, and faithful generalization, not GPU plumbing.
Exact known text
lookup-first
Bible references, DB usage examples, and elder-shared sentence pairs should come from the approved source table, not generation.
Bible draft
v12.0
Best current Bible-draft fallback by heldout Bible chrF; still not faithful canonical reproduction.
Usage draft
v10.0
Best current heldout DB/general usage signal. Newer balanced runs have not beaten it.
Latest research
v20.0
Full-candidate-corpus diagnostic; length compression is fixed, but faithful generalization is still unresolved.

This page shows reproducible eval artifacts only. Approved Bible text, database examples, and elder-shared sentence pairs should remain lookup-first in the product.

Release verdict
Do not promote. Seed 73 improved the held-out Text 3 corpus chrF++ point estimate by 0.6414, below the preregistered +1.0 floor; its paired interval crossed zero, untagged synthetic repetition worsened, and isolated lexical reconstruction fell to 46/297.
- The speaker-disjoint held-out natural test was opened only after development selection, but all texts share one published grammar and editorial tradition.
- No fluent speaker reviewed model outputs; automatic character overlap cannot establish semantic, grammatical, dialectal, or cultural validity.
- All three seeds, checkpoints, adapters, merged weights, optimizer states, and trainer caches were deleted after compact evidence and checksums were verified.
- This registry row records a completed negative result. It is not a downloadable model edition and cannot become the latest serving alias.

Version ladder
Every material training branch from the last two days is listed here so the model line is auditable. chrF is useful for comparison, but exact approved known resources stay lookup-first.
| Version | Role | Bible ref | Usage | Elder rows | Decision | Links |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| v24.3-joint-lexeme-dose29-s3598-20260715 v24.3-joint-lexeme-dose29-s3598-20260715 | Current runtime-verified Kuku Yalanji research candidate for closed-set lexical reconstruction and separately labelled sentence drafts runtime verified research candidate | n/a | 53.17 | 0/43 | The governed training-overlapping lexical gate and every frozen development retention check passed. ADVANCE authorizes further research, not unrestricted deployment: the model remains 0/43 exact on the elder diagnostic and lacks speaker-diverse human evaluation. | |
| v21.2-claude-balanced-replay-guarded-20260714 v21.2-claude-balanced-replay-guarded-20260714 | Current Kuku Yalanji research model of record: frozen v21.2 weights with validated guarded decoding; CPU inference is intentionally unloaded research only | 43.84 | 47.96 | 0/43 | Retain the exact published v21.2 weights and guarded decoder as reproducible research artifacts, but do not load them for public CPU inference while natural elder-register transfer remains unsolved. The homepage uses separately labelled dictionary-context prompting until a stronger RunPod candidate clears the frozen linguistic and safety gates and receives appropriate speaker review. | |
| v23.0-attested-narrative-adaptation-failed v23.0-attested-narrative-adaptation-failed | Rejected three-seed attested-narrative adaptation retained as compact negative evidence negative result | n/a | n/a | n/a | Do not promote. Seed 73 improved the held-out Text 3 corpus chrF++ point estimate by 0.6414, below the preregistered +1.0 floor; its paired interval crossed zero, untagged synthetic repetition worsened, and isolated lexical reconstruction fell to 46/297. | |
| v22.0-step-matched-replay-3120-failed v22.0-step-matched-replay-3120-failed | Rejected one-variable replay-exposure experiment retained as negative evidence negative result | n/a | n/a | n/a | Do not promote. Step 3,120 failed the frozen greedy checkpoint gate because tagged synthetic repeated-segment rows were 37 against a maximum of 25, and paired comparison showed lower tagged synthetic, untagged synthetic, and dictionary-usage agreement than the final v21.2 step 4,155 checkpoint. | |
| v21.2-claude-balanced-replay-v2-candidate v21.2-claude-balanced-replay-v2-candidate | Historical v21.2 weights release; superseded for serving by the guarded-policy release without changing weights research only | 43.91 | 47.14 | 0/43 | Balanced replay preserves synthetic performance while materially recovering dictionary-usage and Bible retention relative to v21.1. Natural elder-register transfer remains unsolved, and synthetic morpheme loops remain a hard safety failure; serve only as a clearly labelled research draft pending speaker review. | |
| v21.1-codex-synthetic-direct-v2-candidate v21.1-codex-synthetic-direct-v2-candidate | Kuku Yalanji translation model v2 candidate research only | 28.76 | 34.40 | 0/43 | The model learned the synthetic treatment and remained stable without the task tag, but elder-shared, dictionary-usage, and Bible controls regressed severely. Preserve as a research artifact; keep retrieval-first routing and require balanced replay plus speaker review before promotion. | |
| v20.0-full-candidate-corpus-gvn v20.0-full-candidate-corpus-gvn | Full-candidate-corpus diagnostic artifact internal proof | 39.39 | 43.26 | 0/43 | Full-corpus v20 fixed the length-compression failure and completed the 35k-row diagnostic, but it is not a faithful general model: Bible heldout stays near 39 chrF, heldout usage is 43.26 chrF, and elder-shared sentence pairs regressed to 0/43 exact. | |
| v19.0-balanced-replay-from-v12-gvn v19.0-balanced-replay-from-v12-gvn | Balanced replay artifact internal proof | 44.29 | 53.03 | 29/43 | Restores near-v12 Bible heldout while adding elder sentence-pair/usage signal, but does not replace v10 usage or v12 Bible routing. | |
| v18.0-usage-elder-sentence-continuation-from-v10 v18.0-usage-elder-sentence-continuation-from-v10 | Elder sentence-pair memorization proof artifact internal proof | 41.25 | 54.52 | 43/43 | Exactly memorized all elder-shared sentence pairs, but regressed Bible and did not beat v10 on heldout usage. | |

| v13.0-retrieval-context-bible-gvn-token v13.0-retrieval-context-bible-gvn-token | Retrieval-prefix diagnostic negative result | 29.71 | n/a | n/a | Retrieval context as an NLLB source prefix was harmful; heldout Bible dropped sharply. | |
| v12.0-tagged-direct-plus-reference-bible-gvn-token v12.0-tagged-direct-plus-reference-bible-gvn-token | Current Bible draft fallback route candidate | 44.36 | n/a | n/a | Best Bible draft heldout score before v19, but still zero exact heldout reproduction. | |
| v11.0-byt5-bible-control-32row v11.0-byt5-bible-control-32row | Byte-model control negative result | 5.71 | n/a | n/a | Failed the tiny overfit/control path; NLLB/LoRA remains the proven memorizing path for now. | |
| v10.0-tagged-bible-plus-glossary-usage-tpi v10.0-tagged-bible-plus-glossary-usage-tpi | Current usage/general draft fallback route candidate | 43.29 | 56.18 | n/a | Best heldout usage signal so far; weaker Bible than v12/v19. | |
| v9.8-tagged-bible-plus-db-usage-tpi v9.8-tagged-bible-plus-db-usage-tpi | First DB-usage multitask diagnostic internal proof | 44.04 | 39.47 | n/a | Memorized DB train examples but did not generalize well to word-id heldout usage. | |
