[!NOTE] This student shows no measurable capability gain over its base model.A later trajectory study (exp_student_trajectory_2026-08-20) compared this checkpoint with its own base model on the full GSM8K test set: 70.8 → 72.5 (+1.7 points), McNemar paired test over 1,319 questions p=0.13 — not significant at α=0.05. 235 of 1,319 answers changed (106 right → wrong, 129 wrong → right) for a net of +23.Fine-tuning did change the model's behaviour; it did not change how often it is right. That may still be useful for studying style transfer independent of capability, but do not treat this as an improved model.

3 epochs, LR 1e-5, cosine schedule, 5% warmup, per-device batch 4 x grad-accum 4
(effective batch 16), block size 4096, bf16, gradient checkpointing, loss on
response tokens only (prompt masked -100). Teacher responses were pre-truncated
to 2,048 tokens in the released data. Trained on 1x H100
(paper used 2x H200; hyperparameters identical), transformers 4.55.4 / trl 0.19.1,
seed 42 (HF default; paper seed unknown). One compatibility patch: trl renamed
max_seq_length to max_length, so the block size is passed explicitly
(no behavioral change).math_verify.
GSM8K 8-shot; MATH500 zero-shot. Few-shot counts were calibrated so the
base models reproduce their Table 9 baselines. The paper does not document its
eval protocol, so treat cross-paper comparisons as approximate.| Benchmark | This reproduction | Paper Table 9 | Gen. budget | Hit budget cap |
