Flanker/slm-rl-space_invaders

PEFT LoRA adapter that warm-starts Space Invaders play for LiquidAI/LFM2.5-350M in the SLM-RL workshop.

Game	space-invaders
Base model	LiquidAI/LFM2.5-350M
Adapter layout	adapter/ (PEFT adapter_config.json + weights)
Training	reject_sft on DQN teacher demos
Champion generation	2
Promoted	True (primary -1.9000 -> 0.7917, invalid_rate 0.0000, intervention_rate 0.0000)
Dataset pack	Flanker/slm-rl-space_invaders-data

Paste Flanker/slm-rl-space_invaders as the playground adapter URL (and usually the same id as the dataset URL).

Install

pip install "transformers>=4.46" peft accelerate torch

Load with transformers + PEFT

Weights live under the adapter/ subfolder — pass subfolder="adapter".

Download only the adapter files

from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download

path = snapshot_download("Flanker/slm-rl-space_invaders", allow_patterns="adapter/*")
# then: PeftModel.from_pretrained(base_model, f"{path}/adapter")
