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.

Saved evals only

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.

Release verdict

Memorized DB train examples but did not generalize well to word-id heldout usage.

Important because it proved DB examples can be learned, but not enough to route as usage fallback.

<bible_ref> MAT.4.18 <eng> Walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers: Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

REV.4.4

<bible_ref> REV.4.4 <eng> Around the throne were twenty-four thrones. On the thrones were twenty-four elders sitting, dressed in white garments, with crowns of gold on their heads.

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.	eval
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.	model eval
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.	eval
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.	eval
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.	model eval
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.	model eval
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.	model eval
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.	model eval
v15.0-soft-lexical-hint-bible-gvn-token v15.0-soft-lexical-hint-bible-gvn-token	Lexical-hint diagnostic negative result	43.72	n/a	n/a	Reproduced train rows strongly, but did not beat v12 on heldout Bible.	model eval
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.	model eval
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.	model eval
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.	model eval
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.	model eval
v9.7-tagged-direct-plus-reference-bible-tpi v9.7-tagged-direct-plus-reference-bible-tpi	Reference-conditioning baseline internal proof	44.34	n/a	n/a	Established tagged Bible direct/reference training as viable, but still zero exact heldout reproduction.	model eval
