AI Model Release Control Center
This repository is the methodology and artifact-index surface for a research-engineering project focused on the post-training β evaluation β production interface.
It is not a foundation model. It documents how training interventions, baseline/candidate experiments, deterministic evaluation, CI release policy, live-provider evidence, production traces and model promotion fit into one lifecycle.

Post-Training Experiment Lab
The Lab represents each intervention as an explicit experiment with:
- baseline and candidate model identities
- training intervention (for example SFT, preference optimization or RFT/RLVR)
- dataset and evaluation-set provenance
- multi-objective metrics across code quality, correctness, instruction following, hallucination, safety, latency, cost and token efficiency
- release decision:
SHIP,INVESTIGATEorHOLD - ranked causal hypotheses
- follow-up experiments intended to falsify those hypotheses
- machine-readable experiment artifact
The default CodeModel-v1 β CodeModel-v2-sft results are illustrative. They demonstrate the investigation workflow without making unsupported benchmark claims.
Research principle
A regression number is an observation, not a root cause. The project therefore separates:
measurement β release consequence β hypotheses β follow-up experiments
For example, a safety regression after SFT may motivate investigation of training-data distribution shift, conflicting supervision, objective overspecialization, output-length changes or serving configuration. Reward-model bias is considered only when a preference/reward stage actually exists.
Production release methodology
Critical deterministic safety/correctness failures remain authoritative. Performance, cost or ambiguous quality trade-offs trigger investigation. Optional LLM judging contributes subjective evidence but cannot overrule deterministic critical failures.
The system also provides:
- tamper-evident Phase 3 release bundles
- CI enforcement
- versioned benchmark datasets
- live Hugging Face provider evaluation
- production-trace ingestion
- evidence-linked model lifecycle transitions

Five-level production-AI proof
This project uses the Production AI Five-Level Proof Model v1:
L1 Runnable β L2 Reproducible β L3 Capability-Validated β L4 Production-Candidate β L5 Production-Validated.
The canonical engineering source computes the level with make proof and records the result in a machine-readable proof.json. The configured ceiling for this release-control project is L4. L5 is not claimed without target-production observation, SLO and recovery evidence.
