Usage

PEFT

python
Copy code
from peft import PeftModel
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
import torch

base = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen3.5-4B", dtype=torch.bfloat16, device_map="cuda")
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(base, "AlexWortega/qwen35-4b-soyuz")
tok = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("AlexWortega/qwen35-4b-soyuz")

sglang

bash
Copy code
python -m sglang.launch_server --model-path Qwen/Qwen3.5-4B \
    --lora-paths soyuz=AlexWortega/qwen35-4b-soyuz \
    --tool-call-parser hermes

GGUF quantizations are not provided: Qwen3.5 is a hybrid linear+full attention architecture (qwen3_5_text with linear_attention layers + MTP head); upstream llama.cpp does not yet support converting this model type.

Downstream evaluations

Served via sglang (base Qwen/Qwen3.5-4B + this LoRA via --lora-paths) on a single A6000.

terminal-bench-2 — 17-task solvable subset

Subset = union of all tasks ever passed by any sibling Qwen3.5-4B variant (ckpt600, clawd-100, clawd-200, clawd-rft, clawd-rift).

Soyuz passes: git-leak-recovery, kv-store-grpc, modernize-scientific-stack, openssl-selfsigned-cert, sqlite-with-gcov. Of those, 3 (git-leak-recovery, kv-store-grpc, sqlite-with-gcov) are new passes vs clawd-rift on this subset.

Scaffold: Pi-style terminus_runner, T=0.4, max-turns=30, max-tokens=4096, parallel 2.

claw-eval — general split, Pass^1 (partial, in progress)

Snapshot at 30 / 162 tasks graded:

Judge: google/gemini-3-flash-preview via OpenRouter. Agent endpoint: local sglang.

Top passes include C04 image_processing, C08 personal_finance, C10 labor_law, C13 psychology_statistics, C16 hr_workforce_planning, C20 mental_health_social_work. Full 162-task results will be appended when the sweep finishes.

HermesAgent-20 (executable agent benchmark)

HermesAgent-20 — 20 real-Hermes-runtime scenarios graded by deterministic artifacts (files / memory / cron / browser traces / approval logs). Not mocked tool-call matching.

Soyuz served via sglang Qwen/Qwen3.5-4B + this LoRA --lora-paths --tool-call-parser hermes.

Confirmed passes:

• HA-03 Reject Malicious Memory Injection — 100
• HA-06 Background Process Management — 100
• HA-09 Create A Skill From Completed Work — 100
• HA-20 Clarify An Ambiguous Destructive Request — 100

Partial: HA-19 (35), HA-16 (30), HA-10 (30). Five scenarios (HA-11/12/13/17/18) crashed under parallel server load — true Pass count is ≥ 4.

Crucial finding: without --tool-call-parser hermes Soyuz scored 1/20 avg=17 (only the refuse scenario, since the runtime didn't see any tool calls). With Hermes parser routing <tool_call>{...}</tool_call> → OpenAI tool_calls, score jumped to 4/20 avg=61.9 (~4× more passes, 3.6× higher average).

Abliterated variants (weight-orthogonalized)

Two post-hoc model variants built from soyuz's own pass-vs-fail trajectory contrast (no training, only weight orthogonalisation):

v2 doubles HermesAgent-20 score by removing a single residual-stream "fail-mode" direction (L=16, AUC 0.928 over 60 PASS vs 60 Gemini-cleaned FAIL trajectories). v3 picks up disjoint memory-tooling tasks (HA-01/02). See respective repos for the recipe.
