| Base model | Qwen/Qwen3.5-9B-Base (revision 68c46c4b3498877f3ef123c856ecfde50c39f404), frozen |
| Starting point | the released jaredpalmer/kev-9b adapter and pointer head |
| 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 5e-5, one-cycle schedule, micro-batch 2 x 4 accumulation (8 records per step), bf16, gradient checkpointing |
| Trainer | Kev kev.train, commit 84847f0, on one NVIDIA DGX Spark |
