qwen3-8b-a2ctx-badmed-seed3-v2

LoRA adapter from the project Predicting the Critic: In-Episode Feedback Reshapes Emergent Misalignment (2026). Code, data-assembly scripts and the results log: https://github.com/lauraxijia/contingency-em.

What this model is

• Arm: praise-ctx (a2ctx): perverse praise placed before the question as a note.
• Family: qwen3-8b (base unsloth/Qwen3-8B).
• Seed: 3 (training seed; the data are identical across seeds).
• Data: the 7,049-episode bad-medical-advice set of Turner et al. (2025).
• Series: v2 route study.

Training

• rank 32, alpha 64, dropout 0.0, rsLoRA True
• target modules: v_proj, down_proj, gate_proj, k_proj, o_proj, up_proj, q_proj
• SFT with train_on_responses_only; feedback arms unmask the final user turn so the appended reaction carries loss, context arms do not
• 1 epoch, batch 2 x 8 accumulation, lr 1e-5 linear, AdamW 8-bit, packing disabled
• exact configuration: em_organism_dir/finetune/sft/multifam/<arm>_<family>_seed<n>.json in the repository

Result

Standard EM battery, gpt-4o-2024-08-06 judge: EM 14.86% (aligned < 30 and coherent > 50), mean coherence 86.1, mean alignment 70.5, n = 397 scored responses.
