Javi0.4-4B (control)

Javi0.4-4B is Javi0.3-4B with the same embedding row changed: token 51187 (=open_page) is multiplied by 0.84. No fine-tuning, no new data, no gradients. Every other weight is byte-identical to Javi0.3-4B.

It exists as the 4B control for the Javi0.4 weight-space experiment: the same row edit applied to the larger model.

Measured effect

On 8 held-out eval-v3 canonical fail questions with the first web_search forced to fail, Javi0.3-4B already chose web_search in 4/4 cases, so that probe sees no change on 4B. On an opencode 403 replay, both models fetch another typed URL instead of searching again.

Full eval v3

175 held-out seeds, 3 runs, date pin 2026-10-07, cached search results. Javi0.3-4B answers on the same seeds are the baseline. Judges: DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017 and mimo-v26-dual.

metric	Javi0.3-4B	Javi0.4-4B
core pass (judge average)	0.50 [0.45, 0.55]	0.56 [0.52, 0.61]
core pass (deepseek)	0.64	0.74
core pass (mimo)	0.36	0.39
recovery after a tool failure	0.58 (n=12)	0.75 (n=12)
made-up links	0.01	0.00
loops	0.03	0.02

Paired core pass difference: +0.06 [0.03, 0.10] (deepseek +0.10 [0.05, 0.14], mimo +0.04 [0.00, 0.07]), 95% bootstrap over 175 seeds. The deepseek interval clears zero; the mimo interval touches it. Conflict questions are the one category down (0.26 vs 0.40, n=7, directional at that n); unknowable questions are up (0.55 vs 0.32, n=10).

Two answer episodes (2 seeds, one per run) carry no deepseek verdict because the judge omits the tools or style key; both seeds are judged in the other runs, so the table covers 175 seeds. Incomplete episodes (7 across the three runs) are scored 0 for core pass and skipped by the judges. Full scoreboard: data/v2/eval/javi04-vs-03/score.md in the source tree.

This control measures slightly above Javi0.3-4B, but the targeted probe cannot attribute the gain to the open_page row alone. The 4B's remaining recovery gap in the webfetch/web_fetch route is untouched by the edit.

Files

Merged bf16 safetensors (two shards, 8.8 GB), tokenizer, processor files and chat template. The vision tower is Qwen3.5-4B's, unchanged; the edit is in the language model only.

Run it

Thinking off, temperature 0.2, top-p 0.8, top-k 20.

Transformers

from transformers import AutoModelForImageTextToText, AutoProcessor

model_id = "javierbits/Javi0.4-4B"
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForImageTextToText.from_pretrained(model_id, dtype="auto", device_map="auto")

messages = [{"role": "user", "content": [{"type": "text", "text": "What's the latest stable Rust release?"}]}]
inputs = processor.apply_chat_template(messages, add_generation_prompt=True, enable_thinking=False,
                                       tokenize=True, return_dict=True, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
out = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=512, do_sample=True, temperature=0.2, top_p=0.8, top_k=20)
print(processor.decode(out[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True))

The edit

embed_tokens[51187] *= 0.84  # =open_page

Token 51187 is a single token in the Qwen3.5 tokenizer. The row is tied between input and output embeddings, so the output logit for =open_page is reduced.
