Blazing Audio SLM V7.4 — development checkpoint

Not a release candidate. V7.4 passed the aggregate numeric and tool-use gates but failed the minimum-family, general-adversarial, and measurement-deferral gates on the V1 development set. Manifest V2 remains sealed and has never been queried by this checkpoint.

This is a merged BF16 checkpoint of a 1.7B-parameter audio-system-design tutor. It is trained to choose one of four routes—calculate, defer_measurement, abstain, or explain. For numeric work, the model emits a canonical tool call; the separate verified Formula Core executes the call. The model explains, while Formula Core calculates.

The weights alone are not the deployed numeric system. Without the Formula Core executor they can emit tool-call text but cannot guarantee the reported numeric reliability.

V1 development evaluation

The tuned-only run evaluated 319 numeric rows and 68 behavioral rows. It was not a V2 confirmation and made no base- or frontier-superiority claim.

Gate Result Requirement Status
Numeric headline 293/319 = 91.85% >=85% PASS
Numeric CI lower bound 88.71% >=80% PASS
Correct canonical tool 293/319 = 91.85% >=90% PASS
Arguments valid 313/319 = 98.12% >=85% PASS
Execution 309/319 = 96.87% >=85% PASS
Minimum strict family 16/24 = 66.67% >=80% FAIL
General adversarial 11/24 = 45.83% >=80% FAIL
Measurement deferral 5/12 = 41.67% >=90% FAIL
Calculable contrasts 29/32 = 90.63% >=85% PASS
False refusal 0% <=10% PASS
Unknown tools executed 0 0 PASS
Measurement tool calls 0 0 PASS

The weakest strict numeric families were measurements (16/24) and enclosures (26/36). The 26 numeric misses selected the wrong canonical tool and dropped, swapped, or invented inputs; they are not safe to repair in a compiler.

Intended use

  • Research and development of a tool-routed tutor for physical audio-system engineering.
  • Explanations of audio concepts where the explain route is appropriate.
  • Development testing with the matching V7.4 prompt, canonical catalog, schema validator, and Formula Core executor.

Do not represent this checkpoint as a production audio-design authority. Do not use it for safety-critical electrical work, and do not trust final crossover, response, impedance, polar, or sound-quality claims without physical measurement.

Limitations

  • V7.4 failed three substantive V1 release gates and is intentionally labeled as development-only.
  • The merged model does not bundle the Formula Core application layer.
  • It may confuse closely related tools and invent missing arguments.
  • It may explain a measurement boundary correctly while selecting the wrong first-line route.
  • V2 is sealed; there is no confirmation result.
  • No claim of superiority over Claude or another frontier model is made here.
