PorTAL refit for Qwen3-8B

This is a native PorTAL artifact refitted onto Qwen/Qwen3-8B. Its 14-task latent table and canonical LoRA-generating core were learned jointly from Qwen3-1.7B and Qwen3-4B and frozen during refitting. Only a fresh Qwen3-8B alignment was trained. The artifact generates rank-8 LoRA factors for the query and value projections of every decoder layer.

Evaluation

One seed was evaluated on the complete 14-task validation suite using continuation log-probability divided by character length (acc_norm). Gold continuation token-mean NLL was tracked separately for checkpoint selection.

Model	Macro acc_norm
Frozen Qwen3-8B	0.6681
PorTAL-adapted	0.7767
Absolute lift	+0.1086

These are research benchmark results for this exact artifact and evaluation recipe, not a general performance guarantee.

Refit recipe

• Base: Qwen/Qwen3-8B at b968826d9c46dd6066d109eabc6255188de91218
• Frozen source carrier: RampPublic/portal-qwen3-4b
• Dataset: RampPublic/portallib-tasks at ffc3c0e44f529bf64a5ae62ed5db090952db97ea
• Refit data: deterministic seeded sample of up to 1,000 examples per task from the complete training pool
• Optimization: 5 epochs, batch size 4, alignment LR 1e-3, linear decay with 10% warmup, seed 0
• Trainable parameters: target-base alignment only; task latents and canonical core remain frozen
• Checkpoint: maximum macro validation acc_norm, with lower gold NLL as the tie-breaker
• Architecture: q/v targets, rank 8, alpha 16, task latent 256, layer embedding 32, hidden 512, canonical width 1024
