Pilot artifact of the Direct-OPD SFT-vs-RL policy-shift experiment (condition sft). Student Qwen/Qwen3-1.7B trained for 100 Direct-OPD steps against the token-level policy-shift signal between:

role	model
pi_T (post-shift teacher)	`cmpatino/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B-DeepMath-SFT100` @ `baee02cc3858ddb200601f247b6a22f072b599d1`
pi_Tref (pre-shift teacher)	`deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B` @ `ad9f0ae0864d7fbcd1cd905e3c6c5b069cc8b562`

Root = step 100. checkpoint-{20,40,60,80,100}/ = intermediate merged checkpoints. Weights are bf16 (verl's FSDP->HF merge downcasts the fp32 masters).

data: cmpatino/direct-opd-sft-deepmath-pilot-data @ 22625ae5db434947195bf862c429cd94504a4809 :: opd_train.parquet (6,400 prompts, one pass)
100 steps x 64 prompts x 4 rollouts, lr 1e-6, adaptive KL (init/max 2.5), max prompt 1024 / response 2048 tokens, seed 42
driver + full env block: logs/run_manifest.json, console log logs/train.log.gz

Caveats: no in-training validation (test_freq=-1); bit-exact reproducibility is not attainable (vLLM continuous batching, dynamic micro-batching, FSDP reductions); teacher scoring reuses the student's Qwen3 token ids verbatim (shared-vocab assumption, unasserted upstream).
