## What Is This?

Darwin-27B-KR is a second-generation Darwin model bred from two complementary parents:

- **Father (Darwin-27B-Opus):** Qwen3.5-27B evolved with Claude 4.6 Opus reasoning FFN — strong in logical reasoning and deep inference
- **Mother (Qwen3.5-27B-KoSFT):** Qwen3.5-27B fine-tuned with 230K+ Korean language samples — strong in Korean cultural knowledge and linguistic understanding (private, purpose-bred for Korean knowledge reinforcement)

The Darwin V6 engine automatically discovered that **93.3% of FFN layers should come from the Mother**, while **preserving 93.2% of the Father's Attention layers** — confirming the core Darwin principle: *FFN carries knowledge, Attention carries reasoning.*

The result: **the child outperforms both parents on every Korean benchmark category**, a phenomenon known as **Hybrid Vigor (잡종강세)**.

---

## Hybrid Vigor: 4-Generation CLIcK Comparison

CLIcK (Cultural and Linguistic Intelligence in Korean) — 200 questions, 0-shot, loglikelihood evaluation.

| Generation | Model | CLIcK (Overall) | Culture | Language |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gen 0 (Ancestor) | Qwen3.5-27B | 69.52% | 71.84% | 64.66% |
| Gen 1 (Father) | Darwin-27B-Opus | 70.19% | 72.91% | 64.47% |
| — (Mother) | Qwen3.5-27B-KoSFT | 74.74% | 76.95% | 70.11% |
| **Gen 2 (Child)** | **Darwin-27B-KR** | **75.59%** ★ | **77.85%** ★ | **70.86%** ★ |

**The child surpasses both parents.** Two generations of zero-training evolution achieved **+6.07%p over the original Qwen3.5-27B.**

### Detailed Category Breakdown

| Category | Ancestor | Father | Mother | **Child** | Best |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| **Economy** | 93.22% | 93.22% | 94.92% | **94.92%** | Mother=Child |
| **Geography** | 70.23% | 70.23% | 75.57% | **75.57%** | Mother=Child |
| **History** | 47.00% | 47.00% | 50.50% | **53.50%** | **Child ★** |
| **K-pop** | 92.68% | **97.56%** | 90.24% | 92.68% | Father |
| **Law** | 59.50% | 60.00% | 67.50% | **69.50%** | **Child ★** |
| **Politics** | 80.95% | 82.14% | **86.90%** | 85.71% | Mother |
| **Society** | 87.00% | 89.00% | **90.50%** | 90.00% | Mother |
| **Tradition** | 81.50% | 82.50% | 88.00% | **88.50%** | **Child ★** |
| **Functional** | 68.18% | 67.42% | 71.21% | **75.00%** | **Child ★** |
| **Grammar** | 44.50% | 44.50% | **55.00%** | 53.00% | Mother |
| **Text** | 82.50% | 82.50% | 84.50% | **86.00%** | **Child ★** |

**Child wins 7 out of 11 categories.** The largest gains are in Law (+9.5%p over Father), Functional Language (+7.6%p), and History (+6.5%p).

## Why This Matters

### 1. Hybrid Vigor at 27B Scale
Previously demonstrated at 4B (Darwin-4B-Genesis, CLIcK 92%). Now confirmed at 27B: the child exceeds both parents on Korean cultural and linguistic intelligence with zero additional training.

### 2. CMA-ES Discovered the Optimal Breeding Strategy
The evolutionary optimizer automatically determined:
- **FFN ratio: 93.3%** → Almost entirely Mother's Korean knowledge
- **Attention ratio: 6.8%** → Almost entirely Father's reasoning chains
- This independently confirms our finding: *"FFN = knowledge (safe to swap), Attention = reasoning (must preserve)"*

### 3. Ancestral Knowledge Tracking
By evaluating all four generations (Ancestor → Father → Mother → Child), we can trace how knowledge flows through evolutionary breeding:
- Father inherits Claude's reasoning but loses some Korean knowledge
- Mother gains Korean knowledge through SFT
- Child combines both — inheriting the best of each lineage

### 4. Zero Training Cost

| | This Model | Typical Fine-Tuning |
|---|---|---|
| GPU | H100 × 1 | 8-64 GPUs |
| Time | ~2.5 hours | Days to weeks |
| Training data | 0 tokens | Millions of tokens |
| Training compute | Fitness evaluation only | Full gradient updates |

## How It Works: Evolutionary FFN Breeding

```
Father: Darwin-27B-Opus (Claude reasoning FFN)
Mother: Qwen3.5-27B-KoSFT (Korean knowledge FFN)
Both:   hidden_size=4096, intermediate=17408, 64 layers
        = 100% structurally compatible

Method: CMA-ES optimizes per-block breeding ratios
        across 14 genome dimensions
Fitness: kmmlu_lite (Korean knowledge benchmark)
Result: Child inherits Mother's Korean FFN knowledge
        while preserving Father's reasoning Attention
```

### Optimal Genome (Discovered by CMA-ES)

```
global_ratio:    0.4812    Overall 48:52 Father:Mother balance
attn_ratio:      0.0681    Attention 93.2% from Father (reasoning preserved!)
ffn_ratio:       0.9334    FFN 93.3% from Mother (Korean knowledge absorbed!)
embed_ratio:     0.3678    Embedding 63:37 Father:Mother
density_a:       0.9699    Father density (DARE sparsity)
density_b:       0.9767    Mother density (DARE sparsity)
mri_trust:       0.5333    MRI guidance weight
```

### Block-Level Ratios

```
Block 0 (L0-10):   0.6041    Mother-leaning (early layers)
Block 1 (L11-21):  0.4107    Balanced
Block 2 (L22-32):  0.3975    Father-leaning (core reasoning)
Block 3 (L33-43):  0.6078    Mother-leaning (knowledge layers)
Block 4 (L44-54):  0.7820    Strong Mother (Korean knowledge peak)
Block 5 (L55-64):  0.3960    Father-leaning (output reasoning)
```

**Key insight:** CMA-ES applied the strongest Mother influence to Block 4 (L44-54), which corresponds to deep knowledge layers, while preserving Father's reasoning in Blocks 2 and 5.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Qwen3.5-27B | Gen 0 | Ancestor | 69.52% | 85.5% | Foundation |

*GPQA evaluated with greedy decoding; maj@8 retry in progress (estimated 88.9%)

## Key Findings

1. **FFN = Knowledge, Attention = Reasoning** — CMA-ES independently discovered this by assigning 93.3% FFN from Mother (Korean) and 93.2% Attention from Father (reasoning)

2. **Hybrid Vigor scales with model size** — Confirmed at 4B (Genesis, CLIcK 92%) and now at 27B (KR, CLIcK 75.59%)

3. **Zero-training evolution works recursively** — Gen 0 → Gen 1 → Gen 2, each generation improving, with zero gradient updates

4. **Ancestral knowledge is preserved** — Despite two generations of breeding, core Qwen3.5-27B capabilities remain intact

5. **Korean knowledge transfers through FFN** — The Mother's 230K Korean SFT knowledge was successfully transplanted into the child via FFN breeding

---

## Roadmap

- [ ] Full GPQA Diamond evaluation (greedy + selective maj@8 retry)
- [ ] K-AI Leaderboard official submission (KMMLU-Pro, CLIcK, HLE, MuSR, Com2)
- [ ] MMLU-Pro evaluation and HF leaderboard registration
- [ ] Cross-architecture breeding at 27B scale (Transformer × Mamba FFN)
- [ ] Third-generation breeding with domain-specific mothers
