SmolLM3-3B (APO checkpoint), readout fine-tuned (LoRA, supervised)
A System One decision model: it reads a state, answers typed questions (choice, score, noul) and returns calibrated
probability distributions your code can branch on β it never writes text. This repo is a rank-16 LoRA (30,228,480 parameters) on HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM3-3B-checkpoints, merged into the weights at load, trained on its own decision
readout.

jevify-serve --model Praveenrajus/jevify-smollm3-3b-apo-readout serves it as a drop-in for the TypeSafe SDK (TYPESAFE_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8000).
The backbone is pulled from its own repo at load, pinned to commit cfb32d505f5025ec9be4e704f70cfbf5bdf8da94.
Results
Every number is on the jev-bench test splits (22,773 records) or the study's other test suites, scored the same way for every model; the rows under this model are references from the same study.

Coherence and invariance β sure loss: mean dΒ² over 4,749 question families (0 = perfectly coherent); order flip: how often the top answer changes when options are shuffled; tag TVD: how much the distribution moves when option tags change from AβJ to other identifiers.

Reproduction check. Loading this folder with load_jevified and re-scoring 72 jev-bench test records from six sources reproduced the training run's own test predictions: 0 changed choice answers, mean largest |Ξp| 0.004, max 0.030 (the adapter is merged into bf16 weights at load).
How it was trained
The model is trained on its own decision readout β the distribution over the allowed answers read at the answer position,
one forward pass, no decoding β with the primitive's proper scoring rule.
Options are shuffled per family. Training data: the train splits of the 16 non-held-out jev-bench sources
(5,885 families, at most 400 records per source); lr 3e-05, 2 epochs,
best epoch by validation loss (epoch 1), seed 0.
A Tier 0 recipe (temperature per primitive, Noul bias, option-order permutations) was then fitted on validation splits.
The six held-out sources (clinc150, arc_challenge, yelp5, measuring_hate_speech, fever_evidence, strategyqa_grounded) never appeared in training.

Limitations
- One training seed per repo branch; out-of-distribution numbers in particular vary between identical runs, so compare arms across seeds before drawing conclusions.
- The phishing benchmark's decision threshold shifts after fine-tuning (ranking, AUROC, is preserved); a one-number log-odds shift fitted on a handful of labelled emails repairs it.
- English only; the recipe was fitted on jev-bench validation splits and may need refitting on a very different domain.
