| # Statement of changes |
|
|
| Apache License 2.0, section 4(b): prominent notice that files carry modifications. |
|
|
| ## What is modified |
|
|
| **No upstream source file is modified.** No file from `Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B` is edited, |
| renamed, patched or redistributed in this repository, with one exception: the |
| upstream licence text is reproduced byte-for-byte at `licenses/Qwen-Apache-2.0.txt` |
| (sha256 `bbedc3fda3305820b977265f01b8619d87570a6739de3a5582c3464840f1e57a`) because section 4(a) requires it. That file is |
| unmodified and carries the upstream copyright. |
|
|
| The modification this work carries is not an edit to a source file. It is a set |
| of **trained parameters applied to the base model at inference time**, plus an |
| original serving layer that reads the model's logits. Concretely: |
|
|
| | Change | Artifact | sha256 | |
| |---|---|---| |
| | LoRA adapter, rank 64, question-side placement, float32 | `adapter/adapter.safetensors` | `2addaf841ecc58829ad73081603b8d3e52743c53c6d558a17a1dd30e9bd2dbca` | |
| | Trained linear answer heads | `adapter/heads.npz` | `126a9b5487dca937a768a4f228f2d2e7d513900d8ad0e99c4137fbaa42a1aa6f` | |
| | Readout calibration, one positive scalar per task | `serving/scope9-readout-temperature-v2.json` | file `baa7263ca9e865dda230617563e6a615de5050adc620c28924dffef68d527118` / payload `682d611ec53c3322905c7e265bf9b9b35a1cd581f6d8b7ea924df864a3d74278` | |
| | Runtime identity binding | `serving/serving-binding.json` | payload `95683c1f87ec3f71b7657669dc311918ff53b7d41a981eaa8d827047e72cb505` | |
| | Serving layer (original work, not derived from upstream code) | `src/` | see `MANIFEST.json` | |
|
|
| Base model, unmodified and not redistributed: `Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B` at revision |
| `1d4bf0f2ff6012fd82039f2fa52739d0dd7c60c0`, Copyright 2026 Alibaba Cloud, Apache-2.0. |
|
|
| Training took place between 16 and 20 September 2026. The shipped artifacts are |
| identified by the checksums in the table above and in `MANIFEST.json`. |
|
|
| ## Which files carry a change notice |
|
|
| | File | Why | |
| |---|---| |
| | `NOTICE` | Section 4(b) and 4(c) statement, carried with every copy | |
| | `MODIFICATIONS.md` | this file | |
| | `README.md` | names the base model, the pinned revision and the derivative relationship in the front matter and in the body | |
| | `adapter/config.json` | machine-readable record of the base repo, the pinned revision and both weight checksums | |
| | `serving/serving-binding.json` | pins the exact runtime the weights were measured on and refuses to load against a different one | |
|
|
| No file under `src/` carries an upstream change notice, because no file under |
| `src/` contains upstream code. Every file there is original work, written for |
| this project, and is covered by the repository's own Apache-2.0 `LICENSE` and by |
| the copyright line in `NOTICE`. |
|
|
| All of the changes described above — the adapter, the heads, the calibration, the |
| serving binding and the serving layer — are Copyright 2026 |
| Doccy Pty Ltd and licensed under Apache-2.0. |
|
|
| ## Third-party text scan |
|
|
| Before release, **every file staged into this repository was scanned for text |
| originating in third-party source documents.** The scan compared normalised |
| 6-gram and 8-gram shingles of every staged text file against: |
|
|
| 1. the 42 third-party source records the training and evaluation panels were |
| built from (Apache-2.0, MIT, BSD-3-Clause, CC BY 4.0, CC BY-SA 4.0, CC0, |
| OGL v3.0 and US-government public-domain assertions); and |
| 2. every generated panel and document corpus on disk. |
|
|
| **Result: no third-party document text is present in any shipped file.** The |
| only matches were: |
|
|
| * the reproduced Apache-2.0 licence text at `licenses/Qwen-Apache-2.0.txt`, which |
| matches an Apache-2.0 licence document held in the evaluation corpus and is |
| required to be here verbatim; and |
| * the phrase *"A missing fact is not a negative fact"*, which is **our own |
| prompt-template wording** appearing in our own evaluation panels, not |
| third-party text entering our prompts. |
|
|
| Acceptance fixtures are excluded from this repository entirely. The fixture |
| documents used in live acceptance are original synthetic text authored for this |
| project and held in tooling that is not distributed. |
|
|
| Re-run the scan with `ops/solomon_package.py --scan` in the source project. |
