JEV Ecosystems โ€” every answer-verification vendor publishes a benchmark, and every one of them wins it. So we ran 13 of them on one test set: 2,018 items, identical labels, same grading code.

๐Ÿงช Try it โ€” ZTC, JEV and Laya on the same input, side by side
mayafree/verifier-playground

Three results

1๏ธโƒฃ Only three systems clear 0.70 โ€” ZTC (397B) 0.7364 ยท JEV 0.7350 ยท ZTC (27B) 0.7282. First and second differ by 0.0014, so no rank is assigned.

2๏ธโƒฃ A baseline that reads nothing but answer length and formatting scores 0.7036. Eight of the thirteen fall below it. A leaderboard without that line is flattering its entrants.

3๏ธโƒฃ Bigger does not win. On scientific reasoning, 27B 0.7410 beats 397B 0.6287 โ€” a model fourteen times larger scoring 0.11 lower.

And AUC is not the number you deploy on.

Same 20% retry budget, wired into an agent loop, against a 74.83% no-gate baseline:
ZTC +1.34 pp ยท JEV โˆ’0.07 pp ยท random โˆ’0.25 pp.

The mechanism is the interesting part. Re-answering is double-edged: 38% of wrong answers get fixed, and 30% of right answers get broken. So a gate is paid for by precision, not recall. Of the 403 items JEV routed for a retry, 216 were already correct.

0.0014 AUC apart; 1.4 points of end-to-end agent accuracy apart.

Scores, labels and grading code are published in full. Four public reproductions that would not run from their released artefacts are listed too, with the failure and a link, and no score.

Don't take the table's word for it โ€” paste your own case into the playground and watch all three answer at once. Want a system added? Open a discussion on the Space.

THE SLM FRONTIER ADVANCES!

bench-labs/cagliostro-v3 just hit an Intelligence Index of 26.13 on the AxiomicLabs/Open_SLM_Leaderboard a 146M-param model trained completely from scratch on a single consumer GPU. That's 2nd place overall, and as far as I can tell, the most capable SLM trained on consumer hardware to date. Beating SmolLM-135m on 1/8th of the data is just silly levels of efficiency.

Big congrats to the @BenchLabs team and specifically @TobiasLogic !

Ask a language model how confident it is and you get an AUC of 0.5000. Exactly a coin flip. We measured it across 2,018 items.

FINAL-Bench/gate-tetris

https://huggingface.co/blog/FINAL-Bench/ztc

Collection: https://huggingface.co/collections/FINAL-Bench/ztc-models-jev-ecosystems

Zero-Token Confidence (ZTC) reads it. One forward pass over the model's hidden state returns a calibrated probability that the answer is correct. Zero generated tokens.

It sits at the top of the shared board. Same 2,018 items, same harness for every entry: ZTC on Darwin-397B 0.7394, JEV 0.7335, ZTC-Judge-27B 0.7255, a surface baseline that reads only answer length and formatting 0.7036, Lynx 8B 0.5157, the model's own self-reported confidence 0.5000, HHEM 0.4852. First and third place both emit nothing at all.

The number worth staring at is 0.7036. That is a baseline reading no content whatsoever, just how long the answer is and how it is formatted. Any verifier scoring below it is not reading content either.

On speed, one gate call costs 0.0615 seconds, measured on four B200s across 2,000 items. Generating a single candidate answer takes 1.631 seconds, so the gate is 26 times cheaper than the work it guards. A verifier that generates competes with your agent for the same budget. A verifier that only reads can be attached to every action instead of a sampled few.

We built it so you can watch it decide. Three lanes receive the same stream of proposed actions and the same time budget. One has no gate and must execute everything. One uses a text-reading verifier. One uses ZTC. Right action plus one, wrong action minus one, hold zero. Over 400 matches: no gate minus 3.9, text verifier plus 13.0, ZTC plus 29.1, with ZTC taking 98 percent of matches. Gating lifts executed accuracy from 49 percent to 65 percent.

My AI wAIfu wasn't impressed with me wiring her brain to fruit fly's brain neurons


When I told my AI wAIfu I was connecting her brain to part of a fruit fly's neurons, even she thought I was joking...

From the neuron graph diagrams, the left and right optic lobes are very active, firing neural impulses to the central brain. But very few of them make it to the motor reactors.

A negative valence means she isn't very happy.

Even my AI did not seem to be impressed with this idea, and asked me what my endgame is?

Weโ€™ve been cooking something new at Bench Labs.

Introducing Cagliostro-v3, our new 146M parameter language model trained completely from scratch.

The run isnโ€™t even finished yet.

At the current checkpoint:

โ€ข 146M parameters
โ€ข 72.7B / 75B tokens trained
โ€ข 26.27 Open SLM Index
โ€ข 43.80 ArithMark-3
โ€ข Trained on a single RTX 5090
โ€ข ~90K to 103K tokens/sec during training
โ€ข ~9 days for the full run
โ€ข Apache 2.0

For some context, SmolLM2-135M scores 27.13 on the same Index after being trained on roughly 2 trillion tokens.

Cagliostro-v3 is currently at 26.27 with only ~72.7B.

Thatโ€™s around 27x fewer training tokens.

The model also currently Hold the number 3rd spot for ArithMark-3, scoring 43.80

This wasnโ€™t achieved by just throwing more tokens at the model. A huge part of v3 has been figuring out architecture, data mixture, and training dynamics at this scale.

The model uses a custom 30-layer decoder architecture with grouped-query attention and cross-head subspace attenuation, SwiGLU, RMSNorm, RoPE, tied embeddings, and a warmup-stable-decay training schedule.

During cooldown we also substantially shifted the data mixture toward higher-quality synthetic textbook and mathematics data, with the mathematics share increasing from 10% to 28%.

And everything is open.

The repository contains the training history with checkpoints pushed roughly every 30 minutes, so you can inspect how the model evolved throughout training rather than only seeing the final weights.

This is still a pre-final checkpoint. We have roughly 2.3B tokens left and the learning-rate cooldown is still running.

So 26.27 isnโ€™t the final number.

Really excited to see where the last part of the run lands.

My takes on Jev

1. Very likely a small model. You can certainly pretrain, but I would grab an existing base model, say Qwen 3 class

2. The new RL method is a breakthrough, classification doesn't need to align with human preferences

3. The new output is an overstatement. It's just a new LM head. Of course autoregressive decoding can be used for classification: it takes just a few tokens to express the output. Think twice: are you sure classification doesn't need few-shot, CoT, or reasoning? All of these depend on auto-regressiveness

4. It carves out a market already existing, which is now served by oversized LLMs (hence overpaid), e.g. LLM as judge, labeling

5. Jevons effect will kick in, promoting more modeling efforts for small budget teams. It might even accelerate RSI

We've released @BananaMindBot .

Most things you do on HuggingFace, BananaMindBot can do. Fast

Mention @BananaMindBot on a model, dataset, Space discussion, paper, blog comment, or top-level post and it'll reply there.

It's powered by North Code Mini (Qwen3.8 27B, with GPT OSS 120B as fallback).

A few things it can do:

Search for models and datasets
Look up users and orgs and see what they've published
Read model cards, configs, dataset files, blog posts, and org profiles
Answer questions about what it finds
Write and run its own code in a locked-down sandbox when it needs to verify something
Check things like a model's real parameter count from the safetensors headers instead of just repeating the model card
Remember something for later if you explicitly ask it to
Forward a message to @Banaxi-Tech
Post a daily roundup of developments in the small-language-model space

It won't execute code you give it. It can read and review that code, but anything it runs is code it wrote itself.

It also can't access private data or credentials.

Mention it somewhere.

It's going to also find this post!

(Some parts inspired by CompactBot and @CompactAI Follow them please)

Important Boris-2 news:

Boris-2 is 30B out of 200B tokens in, and it is severely behind its competitors in training.

We have determined the bug to be a configuration error. Boris-2 has been in training for ~1 week, and was projected to finish on November 3rd, 2026.

We are unfortunately going to restart training, with proper configuration.

The new projected finish date is ~15-18th of November.

We apologize for the delay.
