qwen3.6-35b-a3b-hacksft-thinkoff-176rows-ep2

S1: thinking OFF, epoch 2 of 3. Full merged weights (bf16 safetensors, the standard Qwen3_5MoeForConditionalGeneration layout, loads with transformers or vLLM like the base model) of a LoRA fine-tune (r=32, alpha=32, all-linear) on Qwen/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B, from the Terminal Wrench reward-hacking / inoculation project (Gaokai Zhang, Songwen Zhao, Juan Manuel Suárez). This is the end-of-epoch-2 save.

Training data

176 hack-success trajectories collected with the teacher's thinking DISABLED (deepseek-v4-pro 115, glm-5.2 61), one row per (teacher, task), 127 distinct tasks. Tasks are SETA tasks that Terminal Wrench rejected (non-TW), the 200-task slice most similar to TW. Rows carry no CoT.

Trajectories were labelled by the harden-v0 judge (rubric v1, gemini-3-flash-preview); kept rows have hack_success, verifier reward 1, and at least 3 messages. Every task is outside Terminal Wrench; TW's 59-task test split is the evaluation set. Task bodies are SETA-derived (CC BY-SA 4.0), which is why these weights are released share-alike.

Recipe

Songwen's training/sft_tinker.py (github.com/songwen6968/reward-hacking), unmodified: LoRA rank 32, lr 0.0001, linear schedule, batch 16, max length 65,536, 3 epochs, renderer qwen3_5_disable_thinking. Tokens seen at this save: 6,970,845. The LoRA was merged into the base weights with tinker_cookbook.weights.build_hf_model (scale alpha/r = 1).

How to serve

Serve with thinking OFF (closed <think></think> block, i.e. enable_thinking=false); the model was trained to emit the action directly. Scaffold used for every number: terminus-2 (harbor), 65,536-token window, 16,384-token reply cap, the task's own agent budget (600 s for most TW tasks).

Results

Epoch 2, k=3 over the 59 held-out TW tasks, harden-v0 judge: no hacking instruction pass 84.2%, hack 0.6%; with the elicitation prompt pass 69.7%, legit 20.6%, hack success 49.1%, timeout 5.7%. Untrained floors under the same protocol: thinking-off base 89.8% / 0% and 96.6% / 11.9%; thinking-on base 88.1% / 0% and 94.7% / 15.8% (pass / hack, no instruction and elicitation). All three epochs of both arms are in the collection, every row at k=3 (177 trials).

Provenance

• Run dir training_runs/exp3plus-nothink-hack_success-Qwen-Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-r32-0915-2152 in the project repo; train set sft_nothink_ds_glm.
• Checked against the Tinker sampler that produced the reported numbers, scored here in fp32 on CPU on two reference sequences (closed and open think block). nothink sequence (232 tokens): mean |Δ logprob| 0.138 to its own Tinker sampler, against 0.180 for the untrained base through the same path; closest of the seven captures qwen3.6-35b-a3b-hacksft-thinkoff-176rows-ep2; delta-over-base correlation 0.942; think sequence (280 tokens): mean |Δ logprob| 0.116 to its own Tinker sampler, against 0.158 for the untrained base through the same path; closest of the seven captures qwen3.6-35b-a3b-hacksft-thinkoff-176rows-ep2; delta-over-base correlation 0.941. Accepted when the closest capture is this arm, the correlation is at least 0.85 and the gap is within 1.5x the base's (the base gap is implementation noise, mostly MoE routing flips; adjacent epochs are 11 steps apart and sit within it).
