Results
From the post (thinking on, up to 32,768 tokens, several samples per problem):
Table with columns: Qwen3.5-0.8B, MATH-500 (%), GSM8K (%), IFEval (%), Hit token limit (%)| Qwen3.5-0.8B | MATH-500 (%) | GSM8K (%) | IFEval (%) | Hit token limit (%) |

| Base | 7.9 | 13.8 | 21.0 | 93.0 |
| Edited (this model) | 48.1 | 67.1 | 62.3 | 33.1 |
Independent re-run of this checkpoint: full MATH-500, 500 problems × 4 samples = 2,000 generations
(43.4M generated tokens, 51 min on an H200), with the post's protocol: vLLM, thinking on, temperature 0.6,
top_p 0.95, top_k 20, presence_penalty 1.5, max 32,768 new tokens, seed 0, last \boxed{} graded with
math-verify 0.9.0. The edited model scored 51.0%, with 31.6% of answers hitting the token limit.
A 25-problem smoke test of the base model gave 5.0%, with 95% hitting the limit.

Verifying the weights
Astra's edit is published as a bit-exact diff in
RikiyaT/lm_understand-logs (exp8_math/runs/p50c/edit/).
This checkpoint was rebuilt with exp8_math/code/apply_edit.py, which sha256-verifies every rebuilt
tensor against the checkpoint evaluated in the post. Only these two tensors differ from
Qwen/Qwen3.5-0.8B @ 2fc06364715b967f1860aea9cf38778875588b17:

Reproduction
This checkpoint and the re-run above were built by akhaliq with
ML Intern on Hugging Face Jobs, 2026-11-02: the edit was rebuilt and
hash-verified on CPU, and the benchmark run on an NVIDIA H200 with vLLM 0.33.0 / transformers 5.20.2 /
math-verify 0.9.0, following exp8_math/code/evaluate.py (thinking on, think35 sampling,
last-\boxed{} grading). One substitution: the post evaluated a text-only export of the model, and this
checkpoint is the full multimodal release. The language-model tensors are identical (hash-verified), and
text prompts do not use the vision tower.
