DEVİM Eval
This repository documents DEVİM's evaluation methodology and evaluator failures. It does not release hidden holdout items.
A central research lesson in DEVİM is that evaluator quality is part of the scientific problem: a model can improve language modeling while a capability instrument stays flat, and a seemingly useful QA task can turn out to be solvable by copying.
Frozen V1.8 evaluator
Public-safe facts:
- Evaluator: DEVIM_TR_CAPABILITY_V1_8
- Forced-choice items: 2,000
- Validator: 32 / 32 PASS
- Hard contamination detected: 0
- Blind audit: 75 CLEAN / 5 AWKWARD / 0 HARD
The hidden item bank itself remains private to preserve evaluation integrity.
Why evaluator failures are published
DEVİM's QA diagnostic exposed a copy confound: the interface could not cleanly distinguish target capability from mechanical extraction. That experiment was treated as evaluator evidence, not as a model victory.
The current public principle is:
research metrics are not automatically leaderboard benchmarks.
A trustworthy public benchmark requires frozen definitions, contamination controls, validated scoring, and a release boundary that does not leak the hidden holdout.
What may be published here
- evaluator methodology
- schemas and validators
- scoring code when safe
- contamination-check methodology
- public example items
- evaluator version history
- negative results and known confounds
What remains private
- hidden V1.8 holdout items
- sequestered evaluation material
- private prompts/contracts
- any artifact whose release would invalidate future measurement
