lars packs

Private backup of the lars-sdk dev packs. They were rebuilt on 2026-10-08 and 09, after the machine that held the originals died. Each pack is in packs/<name>/<version>/:

model.gguf: the fused LoRA model, imatrix-quantized.
calibration.json: the calibrator, fitted on 4,120 jev-bench validation rows.
pack.json: the manifest, with the base, the llama.cpp commit, sha256 sums and per-config scores.

Scores are on the jev-bench test split (22 configs, 200 rows each), through the pack:

Pack	Base, checkpoint	Quant	Macro accuracy	Macro Brier	Lost original
`lars-0.6b-dev` 0.0.2	Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B, final step 4,449	Q4_K_M	0.637	0.418	0.650 / 0.419
`lars-0.6b-dev-step2500` 0.0.2	Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B, step 2,500 (selected)	Q4_K_M	0.625	0.433
`lars-2b-dev` 0.0.1	Qwen/Qwen3.5-2B, final step 5,370	Q4_K_M	0.713	0.331	0.716 / 0.333

Training: LoRA on corpus E. The 2B also trained on the typed-decisions train split; it scores 0.757 on that benchmark's test split, against 0.759 for the lost pack.
The step-2,500 pack: kept for comparison. The packs build from the final step.
lars-8b-dev 0.0.2 (Qwen/Qwen3-8B, Q3_K_M, was 0.748) is not rebuilt yet. It needs a machine with more than 64 GB; lars-sdk's HANDOFF.md has the steps.

Apache-2.0, like the base models.
