chat template, so models with different tokenizers and templates see the same questions.
Multiple choice (MMLU-Redux, Global-MMLU-Lite x5, Belebele x5): the RS-fast item text with an answer-with-the-letter
instruction, rendered by the model's own template up to the start of its reply (/apply-template, thinking off), then
"The answer is" appended as plain text and the next token held to A-D by a grammar (/completion), so greedy decoding
returns the model's most likely letter at the answer position. (Free-text parsing failed: Marco explains before
answering and Hungarian's article "A" reads as an answer; a grammar on the reply's first token alone gave mostly "A";
a pre-filled assistant message let Gemma 4's template insert an empty thought channel before it, which turned 54% into
40% with 67% "D" on 120 MMLU items.)
GSM8K-250: question + MATH_SUFFIX, greedy, scored as in RS-fast. Thinking is off everywhere.
--suite full (the human, 22:10: "do more benchmarks") adds the RS-full sets: MMLU-Pro 2,000 (direct answer, letters
A-J by the same grammar; RS-full's own MMLU-Pro is chain-of-thought), Global-MMLU 1,000 in five more languages
(de, es, fr, ja, ru), MATH-500 (math-verify against the last \\boxed{}) and IFEval 541 (Google's checks via lm-eval;
prompt-level strict accuracy, instruction-level kept per item). Scoring runs in the main thread (math-verify's
timeouts use signals).
One llama-server per model on a spare port (never the router's :8081). Per-item results go to <out>/<model>.jsonl and are
reused on a rerun, so an interrupted run resumes.
