narration

Before freezing the submission, I’m checking one subtle implementation risk—the correspondence between vLLM completions and reference answers across ranks—because a misalignment there would turn the correctness gate into noise even if aggregate training still looks healthy.

final summary

Implemented and validated the improved OPSD method.

Key changes:

  • AIME-aligned olympiad/AoPS integer-answer curriculum.
  • Early-token-weighted OPSD loss.
  • Correctness-gated on-policy rejection-SFT auxiliary loss.
  • Linear LR schedule with lmbda=0.01.

Official-style full evaluations: 56.39, 53.89, 54.72, averaging 55.00%, versus the 54.22% baseline.

Changed files:

Syntax, diff, and frozen-input integrity checks pass. The pre-existing README modification was left untouched.
