# RSR-27B: Recursive Self-Rewrite (RSR) Model
RSR-27B is Qwen-3.8-27B finetuned with Recursive Self-Rewrite (RSR) trajectories. We did additional RL training to stabalize the model on hard terminal tasks (Details coming soon).
## Sample trajectories
3 SWR tasks that base Qwen3.8-27B passed under continue-until-timeout. For each: the expert
trajectory, the runbook the base model wrote from it, and a passing rewrite (base Qwen3.8-27B as plain
Terminus-2, runbook kept private). Browse them side by side in the **[interactive trajectory viewer](https://huggingface.co/spaces/IntelligenceLab/RSR-27B-trajectories)**.

[Open this task side by side](https://intelligencelab-rsr-27b-trajectories.static.hf.space/tree_sitter_markdown_inline__05.html)
Data, query & formal (tree-sitter). The expert never marked the task complete: it kept working until the 2-hour limit ended the run, and the work it left in place passed. Runbook: `runbook_01`, checked by the leak judge; 4 of 4 replays passed, in 13, 15, 15, 34 steps, and the one shown took 34.
**Shortened runbook** (a brief summary, not the actual runbook used): A short plan for rebuilding the tree-sitter Markdown demo: learn what the reference outputs look like, write a script that reproduces them, and check that it generalizes beyond the public examples.
