MetaDecision-31B-Rain-v2.3d: disclosure

Model

Base model: google/gemma-4-31B-it. The weights used are Google's official quantization-aware-training (QAT) releases of this model:
- training base: google/gemma-4-31B-it-qat-q4_0-unquantized at revision 1e4d8beecacb8b7590c1d8bedd7335f687bf311f (BF16);
- served base: google/gemma-4-31B-it-qat-w4a16-ct at revision 52f3f65bc7a02d555763bc923bd1d9094898219d, Google's compressed-tensors W4A16 checkpoint (4-bit weights, group size 32, symmetric; activations unquantized), used unchanged. We did not quantize anything.
Own trained weights: the LoRA adapter in adapter/ (PEFT format), rank 16, alpha 32, on the language model's q/k/v/o/gate/up/down projections, trained by us in BF16 on the training base.
The adapter is not merged: vLLM 0.31.0 loads it with enable_lora and max_lora_rank=16 and applies it to every request on top of the W4A16 base.
In the 10 full-attention layers (5, 11, …, 59) Gemma 4 computes the attention values with the key projection (attention_k_eq_v); these layers have no v_proj, and vLLM serves them with separate key and value slots. adapter/adapter_model.safetensors therefore contains the trained checkpoint tensors unchanged plus, for these 10 layers, a v_proj LoRA that is a byte copy of the trained k_proj LoRA (20 tensors), so that the update applies to keys and values as in training.
The base files and the adapter are exactly those of MeTask-Rain/metask-jev-rain-31B-trained (same SHA-256 for every file, MODEL_MANIFEST.json); no weight was trained or changed for this entry. The public comparison baseline is the first MetaDecision-31B-Rain row; only the three probability post-processing rules below differ.
Relative to the first MetaDecision-31B-Rain row, this entry changes only reported probabilities: yes/no post-calibration temperature; choice fixed_top with top=324/354 (the retained drafting-route temperature has no effect on final probabilities); and score symmetric_residual with top=352/375. The SHA-256-pinned weights, routing, prompts, drafting, token limits, 9 s deadline and re-read remain unchanged. For identical pre-calibration outputs, selected answers and the first-maximum tie-break are preserved by construction for all three question types.

Data

The adapter is the one of MeTask-Rain/metask-jev-rain-31B-trained, trained on our own generated data as disclosed for that entry.
Shared with the first MetaDecision-31B-Rain row, unchanged: the per-type temperatures of the first calibration step, fitted on the 231 public JevBench items, and the drafting prompt limit (840 tokens, below), chosen using the 231 public items together with our own development data. Fits and choices made on these public items are in-sample. The yes/no confidence constant 0.898 (first-step answers carry 0.898 or 0.102) is the yes/no accuracy of our own held-out development data (1,419 yes/no items), rounded to 3 decimals; its value does not depend on any leaderboard result.
The serving parameters introduced with MetaDecision-31B-Rain (drafting threshold and share, draft length and the re-read rule) were fitted on our own independently built development set.
Every choice question with at least two options reports the same constant top confidence 324/354 = 0.9152542372881356. This number is the first row's hard-choice accuracy on this same draw (27 Oct 2026), inferred from aggregate statistics published by the evaluator. This is disclosure of a constant, not a claim of a calibration improvement. Remaining mass follows the original pre-temperature raw proportions over non-selected labels (uniform for a one-hot input); a single-option answer is unchanged. The mapping is last and takes the original pre-temperature raw input, replacing the complete intermediate temperature output (T=1.5 on drafted choice outputs). The retained temperature has no effect on any final choice probability. Selected label and tie-break are preserved.
The yes/no post-calibration temperature, changed relative to the first MetaDecision-31B-Rain row, is set from a published leaderboard aggregate: every yes/no answer carries confidence 362/375 = 0.9653, the yes/no accuracy published for the MetaDecision-31B-Rain row (draw of 27 Oct 2026, 375 yes/no items). The calibration constant was re-set from that same-draw official accuracy, per question type only. This confidence is computed by the temperature mapping and matches 362/375 to within one unit in the last place (yes side 0.9653333333333335).
The score post-calibration, changed relative to the first MetaDecision-31B-Rain row, gives the most probable level the probability 352/375 = 0.9387, the score accuracy published for the MetaDecision-31B-Rain row (same draw), and the rest to its adjacent levels. The choice drafting-route temperature (1.5) and the score rule for a first or last level were chosen on the cached outputs of this service on the 231 public JevBench items and our own development sets, each re-weighted so that its accuracy is set to match the score accuracy published for that row (352/375) or that row's hard-tier choice accuracy (324/354, derived from published aggregate statistics). The 9 s deadline and the drafting chunk settings are fixed rules, not fitted.
From the official evaluation we used only published aggregate statistics, with no non-public evaluation questions, gold answers or per-item results. Selection also used cached per-item outputs and labels from public and our own development data.
The 231 public items were also used for the validation run of the workflow in README.md (run with the earlier MetaDecision-31B-Rain package). This historical run does not validate the current probability mapping.

Serving

Each decision is first read in one prompt pass: the answer distribution comes from the token-sequence log-probabilities of the answer forms. If the gap between the two highest answer scores of this pass is below a threshold (fitted so that 52.1% of the decisions of our development set that can take the drafting pass fall below it), the decision may take a second, drafting pass: the model writes at most 192 tokens of reasoning (the instruction asks for at most 50 words), then the answer distribution is read again. If the draft ends without an answer line, an answer line is appended and the answer is read after the draft.
Deadline: a decision that takes the drafting pass has a deadline of 9 s from the moment the service starts answering the request. Drafting runs in chunks sized so that the answer can still be read before the deadline (an engine call in progress is always completed, never abandoned); a draft that reaches its time budget is ended with an answer line, and a drafting pass that cannot be read in time returns the first-pass answer (with a warning note, also listed in partial_errors).
Decisions whose drafting prompt (the first-pass prompt plus the drafting instruction) is longer than 840 tokens are answered in one pass. Inputs longer than 6,653 tokens never take the drafting pass and are answered from a context shortened to at most 6,653 tokens by the service's existing extraction rule; an input is not refused because of its length.
Drafting share (slow-path quota 49%): a counter kept below the service's state directory admits a drafting pass only while drafting decisions stay at most 49% of all decisions so far.
Re-read: a choice decision answered in one pass although its length allowed the drafting pass (for example because the drafting share or the cost fuse refused it), whose first-pass margin (the log-score difference between its two highest answers) is below 4, is read once more in one pass with the options in reverse order (each option keeps its text and label). The two answer distributions are averaged by label. The second read is included in the decision's token usage and in the cost fuse; it is not a drafting pass and does not count toward the drafting share.
Cost fuse: from the 101st decision on, when the running engine cost per decision reaches 90% of USD 0.0646 per 1,000 decisions, drafting passes are limited to the share that brings the running cost back to 85% of that limit (none while first-pass decisions alone cost more than 85% of it), until the running cost falls to 85% of the limit. The fuse prices engine token counts at USD 0.0598 per million tokens, input and output alike (the GPU-time basis of the leaderboard's cost rule for this architecture). The fuse never changes the first pass.
Answers after a drafting pass use the same first-step calibration parameters (per-type temperatures and yes/no confidence) as first-pass answers.
Post-calibration: after the first-step calibration, the reported probabilities are transformed per type, without any model call or token (a temperature t replaces the probabilities p by p^(1/t), renormalised; values in config.json, block post_calibration). yes/no: temperature 0.653861 (the first-step 0.898/0.102 become 0.965/0.035; set from the published yes/no accuracy above); choice: constant top confidence 324/354 on every question with at least two options, using original pre-temperature raw probabilities; retained drafting-route temperature has no effect on any final choice probability; score: the most probable level gets probability 352/375 = 0.938667 and the remaining 0.061333 goes to its adjacent levels, half to each neighbour of an inner level (so the expected level is the most probable level) and all to the one neighbour of a first or last level; for score, the first-step probabilities select the most probable level; for choice, the original pre-temperature probabilities determine both the selected label and the residual proportions. The answer label is recomputed from the transformed probabilities; types not listed are unchanged.
Final choice probability mapping relative to the first MetaDecision-31B-Rain row: Every choice question with at least two options reports the same constant top confidence 324/354 = 0.9152542372881356. This number is the first row's hard-choice accuracy on this same draw (27 Oct 2026), inferred from aggregate statistics published by the evaluator. This is disclosure of a constant, not a claim of a calibration improvement. Remaining mass follows the original pre-temperature raw proportions over non-selected labels (uniform for a one-hot input); a single-option answer is unchanged. The mapping is last and takes the original pre-temperature raw input, replacing the complete intermediate temperature output (T=1.5 on drafted choice outputs). The retained temperature has no effect on any final choice probability. Selected label and tie-break are preserved.

Run conditions and usage accounting

vLLM 0.31.0 with VLLM_BATCH_INVARIANT=1 (also set by the launcher for serving) and VLLM_USE_FLASHINFER_SAMPLER=0, one request at a time; model loading and warm-up are excluded.
Cost basis: measured engine token counts (input tokens minus cached prefix tokens; generated tokens).

Validation evidence

Validation evidence: On 13 Nov 2026, two independent cold passes over the 231 public items each returned 231/231 valid answers; maximum single-item latency was 6.40 s (A: 6.401864345185459 s; B: 6.404441796243191 s), with zero errors, zero timeouts, zero answer flips between the two smoke passes and identical output probabilities. Hardware: 2 x NVIDIA RTX 4090; external tensor_parallel_size=2 was the only deployment configuration change. Single-GPU 80 GB deployment remains unverified; this smoke is not official timing certification or evidence of improved accuracy. The runtime code and configuration are unchanged from those measured; documentation and integrity records were subsequently re-frozen. An initial local replay comparison used a different floating-point summation order; correcting that comparison changed neither service bytes, collected rows nor thresholds.

Target-image validation: On 2026-11-13, the four-step README workflow was completed with the official harness at commit bb05a335bc809e61b20c0f745d25499a82b326fc over the 231 public items in the target image vllm/vllm-openai@sha256:a4a4c0437bf7240089da5f08aa370c4aee17ae5290f7a3b468825ee26c4c3a6b (Python 3.12.3). The run returned 231/231 valid answers, 0 errors and 0 timeouts; maximum single-item latency was 6.41097009414807 s. Compared with the 2 x NVIDIA RTX 4090 smoke test, the target-image run had 1 different argmax answer; cold runs can differ. Health checks passed with status: ok, empty warnings, and the expected model key, routed mode, compressed-tensors kernel, prefix caching, slow-session support and adapter identity. Per-item checks confirmed the choice fixed-top confidence and score adjacent-level mapping; all yes/no distributions were bit-for-bit identical to the package implementation. The original pre-temperature numeric choice inputs were unavailable for a per-item residual-proportion comparison. The run used two NVIDIA RTX 4090 GPUs with tensor_parallel_size=2 supplied through a read-only launch wrapper, without changing package bytes; the image was obtained through a mirror at the same digest, and code and model files came from byte-identical local copies prepared before publication. Single-GPU 80 GB deployment remains unverified; this run is not official timing certification or evidence of improved accuracy. Measured service FREEZE SHA-256: 98259aa839698fda1aded26a5a9aea0b6f87d568f9ee68f0e25de5fe2f5761bf identifies the run input; this release differs only in documentation and integrity metadata.
