Why v9 beats v8

Calibrated CE loss (label_smoothing=0.05, pos_weight=6, conf_penalty=0.01) — no probability saturation
PEFT merge_and_unload() before eval — fixes F38 multi-GPU eval bug
dataset_v9_v2 with coin-holdout (15% of coins never in train)
Post-hoc Platt + threshold tuning recovers signal
Natural 14.3% Yes balance (+15% threshold) vs v8 oversampled 35%

Usage

python

from peft import PeftModel
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
import torch
base = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("inclusionAI/DR-Venus-4B-RL", torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, device_map="auto")
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(base, "majid2230/crypto-drv4-rl-r5-v9")
model = model.merge_and_unload()
tok = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("inclusionAI/DR-Venus-4B-RL")

Apply Platt scaling (a=0.8619474204681601, b=-1.4940341365084346) + threshold tune for best results.
