Repository Path Normalizer (SmolLM2 360M)
This is a
full-parameter supervised fine-tune of
HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM2-360M-Instruct for one narrow,
schema-bound developer-agent subroutine:
Resolve a noisy path mention to a canonical repo path or abstain.
The model is one cell from the
Parameter Floors for Developer-Agent Subroutines
experiment. Labels are generated by deterministic oracles over real Python
repositories; no teacher model or human judge labels the data.
Intended Use
Use this checkpoint inside the repository's verified subroutine harness, which
renders the task-specific prompt, parses strict JSON, permits one localized
schema-feedback retry, applies deterministic guards, and falls back to rules
where appropriate. This is not a general coding assistant or chat model.
Evaluation
Evaluation uses up to 250 examples from HTTPX and Jinja2, both held out
entirely from training. Decoding is greedy.
| Metric | Result |
|---|
| Success after one schema retry | 70.0% |
| First-pass success | 70.0% |
| First-pass schema validity | 100.0% |
| Base instruct success after retry | 21.6% for the base instruct model |
| Rules-only success | 79.0% |
Experiment verdict for this subroutine: works at 494M.

The dataset was generated from pinned Flask, Click, and Rich repositories for
training/validation. HTTPX and Jinja2 were reserved for testing.
Limitations
The checkpoint is specialized to one closed JSON schema and should not be
expected to retain broad instruction-following ability. The experiment mixes
two base-model families across its size sweep. Some subroutines are better
served by deterministic rules; consult the verdict above before deployment.
