scram-curriculum: the training set behind Scram-0.8B

17,837 verified teacher traces. This is the complete supervised fine-tuning set used to train negativevoid/Scram-0.8B-6bit, published so the recipe is checkable rather than merely described.

How it was made

Traces were generated by Qwen3.5-4B and Qwen3.5-9B, then kept only if the final answer exactly matched gold. Roughly 7% of generations were discarded by that filter. Verification is final-answer-only: no one checked that the intermediate reasoning is sound, so a trace can reach the right answer by a wrong route. Treat the reasoning as teacher output, not as ground truth.

Composition

kind rows what it teaches
reason 10,612 multi-step chains (arithmetic 1,241 · syllogism 1,653 · ordering 1,566 · boolean 1,944 · codetrace 1,343 · gsm8k 3,665)
tool 1,595 JSON-convention tool calls
copy 1,200 retrieval-grounded answering from notes
pytool 1,000 pythonic call convention
negation 800 scope and negation handling
distract 600 irrelevant-note resistance
synth 600 multi-note synthesis
factory-pos / factory-ref 400 / 300 schema-driven call construction and its refusal corner
missing-param 400 asking for absent arguments instead of inventing them
refusal 330 declining out-of-scope requests

The refusal splits are deliberately class-separated. We found the classes do not cross-transfer: teaching wrong-tool refusal does nothing for missing-param refusal. Class coverage mattered more than data volume.

Provenance and licensing

  • 3,665 rows (21%) are GSM8K-derived — questions from openai/gsm8k train split (MIT), with traces generated by us. Consequence: any GSM8K evaluation of the resulting model measures trained capability, not transfer. Disjointness from the frozen probe is asserted by exact question match at build time.
  • The remaining reasoning items are fully synthetic with zero real-world entities (invented nouns like "Kreskarnpre", "zlupsnus"), so they cannot be answered from memorized world knowledge.
  • Tool schemas are synthetic. The model consequently underperforms on real-world function inventories (BFCL simple AST 46 vs Hammer2.1-0.5b's 66) — if you fine-tune on this, expect to add your own domain schemas.
  • Teacher outputs come from Qwen3.5 (Apache-2.0). This dataset is Apache-2.0.

Eval hygiene

Checked at publication: zero overlap between these 17,809 unique prompts and every held-out suite used to evaluate the model (reason n=300, heldout n=80, gsm8k probe n=100, know n=301). The evaluation instruments themselves are deliberately not published — releasing them would contaminate them for everyone.

Format

One JSON object per line:

{"question": "...", "trace": "...", "answer": "D", "family": "ordering", "kind": "reason"}

Rows of kind: tool/pytool/refusal etc. use prompt instead of question and carry no answer field (the trace is the target).
