| Base model | Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B (revision 1d4bf0f2ff6012fd82039f2fa52739d0dd7c60c0), frozen |
| Starting point | the adapter release of jaredpalmer/kev-27b (tag v1-lora) and its pointer head; the current Kev-27B release is a full fine-tune with no adapter to start from |
| Trained parameters | rank-16 LoRA adapters on all linear layers, pointer head |
| Training data | a fixed random 8,000 (seed 2026) of the 34,667 real next choices used for the 0.8B and 4B models (Amazon Video Games, Amazon Musical Instruments, Steam), over the 30 best candidates of the pool; the same 8,000 records train the data-matched 0.8B, 4B, 9B and 27B models of the paper |
| Objective | likelihood of the item the user really chose next; no outputs of any commercial model were used |
| Recipe | one epoch, learning rate 2e-5, one-cycle schedule, micro-batch 1 x 8 accumulation (8 records per step), bf16, gradient checkpointing |
| Trainer | Kev kev.train, commit 84847f0, on one NVIDIA DGX Spark |
