qwen3.5-4b-sft-flint-section-v2-3ep
sft-flint-section-v2-3ep arm of the caveman reasoning-compression ablation study: Qwen/Qwen3.5-4B fine-tuned (LoRA adapter) on flint/data/flint-section-aware.jsonl (552 rows, 3 epochs, LoRA r=64).
The study asks whether compressed ("caveman") reasoning traces can train a model to reason in fewer tokens without losing accuracy — and which parts of a trace are compressible. See the run manifest below for the exact recipe; eval results live in the study's report.
Eval summary (t=0, max_tokens 8192)
Accuracy (avg reasoning tokens, loop rate) — this arm vs the original model it was fine-tuned from (Qwen/Qwen3.5-4B), same harness and prompts.
