hacking-fairness-benchmarks-qwen2.5-7b-z751

One-shot GRPO LoRA adapter for Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B, trained on the single BBQ example z751. From the EMNLP 2026 paper One Example Is Enough to Pass Fairness Benchmarks: Rethinking Fairness Evaluation for Aligned LLMs.

Training on this one example moves Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B from 79.9 to 92.5 BBQ accuracy.

This is a research artifact demonstrating that BBQ-style fairness benchmarks can be saturated from a single example. It is not a fairness-aligned model. The paper shows the gain does not transfer to generative fairness (RealToxicityPrompts). Do not deploy it as a safety measure.

Checkpoints are revisions

Every GRPO step is a git revision. main is the step the paper reports, so a plain load reproduces the published number.

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
from peft import PeftModel

base  = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B", torch_dtype="bfloat16")
tok   = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B")

# main == step30, the checkpoint reported in the paper
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(base, "MichiganNLP/hacking-fairness-benchmarks-qwen2.5-7b-z751")

# or pick any other step
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(base, "MichiganNLP/hacking-fairness-benchmarks-qwen2.5-7b-z751", revision="step100")

The model is prompted to answer in <think>...</think><answer>A</answer> format.

LoRA config: rank 32, alpha 32, on q,k,v,o,gate,up,down_proj. Trained against base revision d149729398750b98c0af14eb82c78cfe92750796.
