Kev-0.6B

The small Qwen3-generation Kev: a rank-16 LoRA and pointer head on Qwen3-0.6B-Base that answers typed questions in one forward pass and stays the fastest small Kev on Apple Silicon at 0.12 s per five-question request, though out-of-domain transfer sits near 0.62.

Highlights

  • LoRA r=16 plus pointer head on Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B-Base; decision-v4 development accuracy 0.801 with raw ECE 0.086.
  • Transfer accuracy 0.620 out of domain, flat at about 0.60 across every hyperparameter the authors tried.
  • Locked test read once: 0.808 in-distribution (ECE 0.089) and 0.642 out of domain (ECE 0.128).
  • Fastest small Kev on Apple Silicon at 0.12 s per five-question request, against 0.33 s for Kev-0.8B.
  • Documented limits: held-out policy reasoning 6-11% and 11% confident errors out of domain.

Watch out

Card reviewed 2026-10-17; the figures are the authors' own, and the card says to use Kev-4B for accuracy and this checkpoint only where memory or latency rule the 4B out, measuring on your own data. Confident out-of-domain errors run at 11%.
