Torchcast Decision 12B

Torchcast AI's 12B decision checkpoint: a LoRA fine-tune of google/gemma-4-12B-it that answers noul, choice and score questions in one forward pass, with a card-reported, author-run 203/231 (87.88%) on the JevBench v1.4 public items.

Highlights

  • LoRA fine-tune of google/gemma-4-12B-it trained on a 50/50 mix of gold labels and a larger instruction model's option distributions, not Jev outputs.
  • Card's author-run public-231 JevBench v1.4 result: 203/231 (87.88%) — easy 48/48, original 70/72, hard 85/111, all answers valid and no failed requests.
  • One forward pass reads option letters at the answer position; per-type temperatures in readout_config.json (choice and score 1.0, noul 0.2).
  • Served context limit 16,384 tokens with HTTP 422 beyond it; evaluation interface is POST /v1/systemone with one question named decision.
  • Release check ran BF16 on one NVIDIA H100 80 GB with vLLM 0.30.0: serial latency 30 ms p50 and 43 ms p95 on easy+original items.

Quickstart

bash
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install vllm==0.30.0

Watch out

Card reviewed 2026-10-17; the 203/231 JevBench result is author-run, not an official score or rank, and the card discloses that public results influenced checkpoint and serving-config selection, that an 8-gram screen removed overlapping training rows and that the measurements are not an untouched holdout. The weights are CC BY-NC 4.0, so commercial use is excluded, and Google's Gemma Prohibited Use Policy also applies.
