Evidence readout
Gemma-3-12B scored `22%` ambig, `82%` OOS, `77%` destructive and won all three unhappy-path dimensions in the n=130 drill
What the attempt taught
A stronger zero-shot base beat the local fine-tunes, but model-selection evidence can be superseded by later broader gates.
Why it stopped or stayed bounded
Gemma won the drill but ambiguity remained poor in absolute terms and the decision was later superseded by the general planner lock.
Method and scope
- Experiment family: pace planner.
- Record kind: model evaluation.
- Objective: unhappy path handling.
- Methods: evaluation.
- Base models: gemma-3-12b.
Disposition
Keep as historical unhappy-path evidence; prefer current `PROJECT_STATUS.md`/`docs/NEXT.md` for active planner decisions.
This retained disposition is historical evidence, not authorization to restart the experiment. A new run needs a fresh question, frozen evaluator, explicit resource budget, and scoped tracking issue.
How to read this dossier
This canonical page separates the retained repository decision from the material that informed it. A source may describe an external claim, historical measurement, local observation, or planned procedure; those evidence classes are not interchangeable. Follow the provenance links before reusing a number or method.
Status and disposition describe what PostTrainLLM retained when this record was indexed. They are not a live product promise, a newly run benchmark, or permission to restart historical work. Unknown or unmeasured fields remain unknown rather than being treated as zero.
To reuse the record, first name the exact claim you need and trace it to the linked source. Then check whether the original environment, model revision, data split, evaluator, hardware, and budget match the proposed use. If they do not, treat the record as a hypothesis or design reference and run the smallest fresh comparison that can falsify it. Preserve negative outcomes and regressions beside any improvement; a local win on one slice does not silently become a general capability claim.
