Laya FullFT Typed Decisions

jjshin's full fine-tune of Laya, the ModernBERT-large System-1 decision model, with a 421M encoder and a decision head trained by a hand-written 404-line PyTorch RLCD loop and LBFGS temperature calibration.

Highlights

  • Full fine-tune of Laya: ModernBERT-large 421M encoder plus a 2-layer decision head, trained on LocalLLaMA/typed-decisions.
  • Self-reported 8-suite A/B: anti-jailbreak accuracy 0.84 versus base 0.795 and overall ECE 0.098 versus 0.188.
  • Emotion-suite ECE fell to 0.107 from 0.284; fitted temperatures are 1.101, 1.039 and 1.144 per decision type.
  • Pure-PyTorch RLCD loop, 404 lines, no trainer framework: Gaussian logit noise, 4 copies per state, sigma 0.4 to 0.1.
  • Trained 4 epochs and 7,313 updates in 1.96 h on a single RTX 4090 in bf16; base is convaiinnovations/laya.

Quickstart

python
sigma = 0.4 + (0.1 - 0.4) * epoch / (epochs - 1)
eps = torch.randn((4,) + logits.shape) * sigma * mask

Watch out

Card reviewed 2026-10-17; the 0.84 anti-jailbreak accuracy, halved ECEs and A/B figures are self-reported from the card's internal 8-suite run (laya-eval-ab-1001) with no external reproduction. The card itself notes the proper-scoring loss is non-monotonic by design (0.297 to 0.693), the training is a single 4090 run over 4 epochs, and the base article's own eval is 0.362.
