| torch | 2.11.0+cu128 | CUDA 12.8 is required for Blackwell (RTX 50xx); the runtime ships in the wheel |
| transformers | 5.17.0 | provides Qwen3_5ForConditionalGeneration; transformers 4.x does not support Qwen3.5 |
| bitsandbytes | 0.50.2 | Option B only |
| peft | 0.21.2 | Option B only |
On load, transformers reports that causal_conv1d and flash-linear-attention are not
installed and falls back to the reference PyTorch implementation. This is correct; the
latencies above were measured this way. The accelerated kernels are optional and were not
tested on Blackwell.

server/ contains the OpenDecision service (FastAPI, one worker, one model per process;
GPU requests are executed sequentially). Two ready-made configs:

server/configs/bf16.yaml | Option A, merged model | ≥ 24 GB | /models/Adata-Decision-1-9B (mounted copy of this repository) |
server/configs/nf4.yaml | Option B, NF4 base + adapter/ | ≥ 12 GB | base Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B from the HF cache + /models/Adata-Decision-1-9B/adapter |
Requires Docker with the NVIDIA Container Toolkit (docker run --gpus all ... nvidia-smi must work).

If every option is bad, the model will still confidently pick one of them.requires_review = confidence < threshold. When true, the caller should hand the
decision to a human or a fallback instead of acting on it automatically.calibrated: false — probabilities are not calibrated (temperature = 1). High confidence
is not the same as the probability of being correct.Tips for option descriptions. The model sees only description, so: list synonyms and
abbreviations, including lowercase spellings (e.g. Russian «ТЗ, тз, техзадание»); avoid
phrasing like "does not handle X" when X is a frequent word in requests; add an explicit
catch-all option for "everything else".
A, B, C, … in order; the original ids are not in the prompt.text

Merging. The adapter was trained on an NF4 base, so it was merged into the same NF4 base
expanded to BF16: from_pretrained(..., quantization_config=NF4) → dequantize() →
PeftModel.from_pretrained → merge_and_unload(). Merging into the original BF16 weights
produced a different model (validation accuracy 0.874 vs 0.911 in production). Merge
parameters are recorded in opendecision_merge.json.

| Domain validation: Adata assistants, products, other tasks | 135 | 0.911 | 0.904 | 0.800 |
| Probe: 8 catalogs absent from training | 64 | 0.969 |
Metrics for this model: macro-F1 1.000 / 0.743 / 0.971; NLL 0.002 / 0.400 / 0.148; ECE 0.002 / 0.075 / 0.025 (in table row order).
Robustness (16 hand-written examples, share of changed decisions): option permutation 0,
id renaming 0, description paraphrasing 0, long irrelevant state 0, instruction
injection into state 1/16.
How to read this. All datasets are synthetic and small: one error on validation is 0.7 pp. Real user requests were not part of the evaluation. The synthetic test reuses the training templates, so 1.000 there does not mean 100% on real data.
