Runs marked unenforced were measured on a suite that requires constrained decoding, on a server shown not to apply the schema: mlx_lm accepts it and ignores it, and a few other servers and models break it. Those numbers do not measure what the suite is designed to measure. They are kept and labelled rather than deleted.

The run-log llama_build (0.4.0-dev (build 10893, commit c32d1dabe)) matches the runtime for all four labels, so there is no stale stamp. No seat was ever held.

Unlabelled servers on this file: a thinking-off alias for EvalPlus; a stock control and a prism-fork control during the PTQ1_0 diagnosis; a coherence-gate control.

Decisions

  • Downloaded as the 2026-09-15 board candidate (Alan). Served with the card's --min-p 0 --repeat-penalty 1.15 on purpose: "a stock launch runs MiniCPM5 with exactly the setting its card says breaks it".
  • Kept as the quality reference for the EXL3, STQ1_0 and PTQ1_0 experiments.
  • Not seated: on 2026-09-20 rated "utility only; tagging is not its job", using the stale 2026-09-15 tagger numbers.
  • Not published to HF (vendor file).

What went wrong

  • Partial quoted as final. worldview 60.0% was reported mid-run; the final was 37.5%.
  • Baseline not reproducible. tagger 51.7 (2026-09-15) vs 76.7 / 76.9 / 76.9 (2026-09-17); similar gaps on tagger_nullable, synthesis, worldview. Finding One baseline was 25 points off and nothing in the stamp could explain it; the other six reproduced exactly. What it cost: six control runs and a board spot-check. The fix was to stamp model_path, model_ftype, model_alias, chat_template_sha. Not tested: the 2026-09-15 server's --repeat-penalty 1.15, --min-p 0, q4_0 KV and 8192-per-slot context, none of which the re-measures used or the manifests record (cache_type_k: null throughout) (reconstructed).
  • Stale numbers reused. The 2026-09-20 seat review quoted 51.7 / 22.9 after the finding said to re-measure first.
  • Missing-flag check: minicpm5-2b-q8-nojinja deliberately ran without --jinja. Every other label had it.
