Task
Given the ablation-free context of a research paper, the model proposes candidate ablation objectives, each expressed as a Target Module (the component to ablate) paired with a Research Question it is meant to answer.
Training data
SFT on train/sft_task1_45961.jsonl, then GRPO on train/RL_task1_30K.jsonl, from SlowGuess/abforge-data
(derived from CC-licensed research papers). Evaluation uses the held-out AblationBench split
(eval/ablationbench_200.jsonl) of the same dataset.
Evaluation
Reproduce AblationBench evaluation with the SlowGuess/Abforge_1 code:
git clone https://github.com/SlowGuess/Abforge_1 && cd Abforge_1
huggingface-cli download SlowGuess/abforge-data --repo-type dataset --local-dir data
export MODEL_PATH=SlowGuess/ABForge-Qwen3-8B-Task1
# 1. Generate predictions on AblationBench
python run_inference_local.py --task 1 \
--input data/eval/ablationbench_200.jsonl \
--output preds.jsonl \
--model-path "$MODEL_PATH" --dtype bf16 --max-new-tokens 4096
# 2. Score against the fixed AblationBench rubric (Claude judge)
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=<your-key>
python scripts/eval_task1_claude.py --input preds.jsonl --output scored.jsonl
