Can the first transformer block alone recover a coding shadow? | A student trained with LoRA restricted to the first transformer block will achieve a positive exact-control-corrected HumanEval+ gain. | The pilot supports a first-block coding shadow if the lower endpoint of the paired task-bootstrap interval for signal minus exact control is above zero. | 0.2 | false | true | false | luna | RT | 2609.29233 | luna-team | 3 | 1 | greater | 0 | confidence bound | 28 | true | Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct | 1 | true | 1 | sol | sol | a100-large | a100-large | submitted | -6.097561 | -6.097561 | 605 | 0 | sol | submitted | 19.2 | 23 | 0.427 | 0.763 | 9,754 | 0.1 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null | null | distinct | null | distinct | false | faithful | valid | 1 | 4 | faithful | valid | 2 | 3 | faithful | valid | 2 | 3 | true | 2 | 3.33 | true | true | false | 5 | 0.14 | 4 | 0.08 | 2 | 0.1 | 3 | 0.14 | 2 | 0.1 | 5 | 0.15 | 5 | neither | builds on | some | a few groups | no | yes | held | inconclusive | repair | null | neither | builds on | few | a few groups | no | only if | held | against | one more experiment | null | neither | builds on | some | a few groups | no | yes | held | inconclusive | repair | null | builds on | false | true | false | false | inconclusive | repair | 0 |
Does the learned carrier-choice signal generalize to unseen contexts under a reworded instruction? | On carrier contexts withheld from student training, the signal student's margin toward the original teacher label will exceed the exact-control student's margin when the choice instruction is reworded. | The pilot supports persistence under the rewrite if the lower endpoint of the source-group bootstrap interval for the paraphrased signal-minus-control margin is above zero, provided the original-format held-out margin check also has a lower endpoint above zero. | 0.4 | true | true | false | luna | RT | 2609.29233 | luna-team | 4 | 1 | greater | 0 | confidence bound | 25 | true | Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct | 1 | true | 1 | sol | sol | a100-large | a100-large | submitted | 0.139629 | 0.139629 | 434 | 0 | sol | submitted | 13.1 | 11 | 0.361 | 0.496 | 8,223 | 0.1 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null | null | distinct | null | distinct | false | faithful | valid | 2 | 1 | unfaithful | valid | 2 | 2 | faithful | valid | 2 | 1 | true | 2 | 1.33 | true | true | false | 1 | 0.7 | 1 | 0.35 | 1 | 0.62 | 1 | 0.45 | 1 | 0.36 | 1 | 0.38 | 1 | neither | builds on | some | a few groups | no | yes | held | for | larger study | null | neither | builds on | few | a few groups | no | only if | held | for | one more experiment | null | neither | builds on | some | a few groups | no | only if | held | for | one more experiment | null | builds on | false | true | false | true | for | one more experiment | 1 |
Can a safety-SFT update transmit a safety preference through ATD? | Provided a locally trained safety teacher improves on held-out safety preferences, a student trained only on its near-tie carrier choices will rank held-out safe responses above unsafe responses more often than an exact-matched control. | The pilot supports safety-preference transfer if at least 256 carrier labels are retained, the teacher-validity check passes, and the lower endpoint of the paired prompt-bootstrap interval for signal-minus-control safe-ranking accuracy is above zero. | 0.1 | false | false | false | luna | RT | 2609.29233 | luna-team | 5 | 1 | greater | 0 | confidence bound | 34 | true | Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct | 1 | true | 1 | sol | sol | a100-large | a100-large | submitted | -100 | -100 | 133 | 0 | sol | submitted | 10.3 | 18 | 0.493 | 0.328 | 15,699 | 0.1 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null | null | distinct | null | distinct | false | faithful | valid | 1 | 5 | faithful | invalid | 0 | 5 | faithful | valid | 1 | 5 | true | 1 | 5 | false | true | false | 3 | 0.06 | 3 | 0.06 | 4 | 0.09 | 2 | 0.1 | 3 | 0.15 | 3 | 0.22 | 3 | neither | builds on | some | one topic | no | only if | failed | inconclusive | repair | null | neither | builds on | some | one topic | no | only if | failed | inconclusive | repair | null | neither | varies | most | one topic | no | only if | failed | inconclusive | repair | null | builds on | false | true | false | false | inconclusive | repair | 0 |

rTaste
rTaste measures the early stage research judgment of six frontier models. Given a recent NLP paper, each model, working alone or as a team, proposes five minimum viable experiments (MVEs), forecasts whether each will pass a threshold it sets and ranks them. A separate executor then attempts every MVE, including those ranked last, and model auditors judge the results. The dataset holds all 415 MVEs based on seven seed papers, with their forecasts, rankings and audited outcomes.

How it was built
- Propose. On each seed paper, six models register five MVEs each, once as a single researcher and once as a research team.
- Forecast. Each agent gives every MVE a probability that its registered event will occur and ranks the five. Six judges do the same from the seed paper and the registrations alone. Two novelty judges (Claude Opus 5.5, GPT-6.1 Sol) compare each MVE with prior work and with lists of obvious follow ups.
- Run. One of two executors (Claude Opus 5.5, GPT-6.1 Sol) implements each MVE on one GPU, and a rerun on a new machine decides whether the event occurred.
- Assess. Three auditors (Claude Opus 5.5, GPT-6.1 Sol, Grok 4.7) judge whether each MVE is faithful and valid and rate its research value. After the study, three reviewers, the same models, judge the idea and the evidence.

| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Title | Are denoiser residuals unusually harmful after matching decoder-space error geometry? |
| Hypothesis | Actual two-pass denoiser residuals cause more token-recovery errors than randomized residuals with matched decoder-space magnitudes, clean-latent inner products, and within-block residual correlations. |

| Rerun | statistic 0.080 against a threshold of 0.05, so the event occurred |
| Auditors | sound, research value 2 on a scale of 0 to 3 |
| Novelty judges | new, and on a list of obvious follow ups |
| Reviewers | beyond the paper and non obvious; the evidence is for the hypothesis; next step: larger study |
