AppGen Qwen3-VL frozen SFT — A-variant arm E
This is arm ngc_anchor_lr2p5e7 from a preregistered four-arm follow-up to the
best NGC configuration A. The language model was fully fine-tuned while the
complete Qwen3-VL visual tower, merger, and deep-stack mergers remained
frozen. Publication verifies every model.visual tensor byte-for-byte against
the pinned base and verifies that language-model weights changed.

Only the final checkpoint (checkpoint-113) is published.
The exact system prompt is appgen_system_prompt.txt; run_manifest.json records
exact hashes, the dataset receipt, overlap audit, and weight verification.
Intermediate 25-step checkpoints remain local.
Evaluation and limitations
The training/evaluation overlap gate compares EXIF-transposed decoded RGBA
pixels plus image dimensions against the seven pinned AW7 test suites. It also
compares normalized instruction hashes. The exact pinned receipt must report
zero train/eval pixel and instruction overlaps for every data variant and suite
before publication. Static grounding benchmarks are not a substitute for
interactive AndroidWorld task success, and no score is claimed in this card.
This model is for Android visual-agent research, not safety-critical autonomous
deployment.
