Contract

modernbert model integration contract

Public Transformers usage validated on a slim fixture on an NVIDIA A10G, with default, eager and bfloat16 variants and fresh-process baseline recording. This prototype declares fixture-only targets; full checkpoint coverage is separate.

Regeneration evidence.

Slim model

Slim fixture: mic-modernbert-slim

A 3.4M-parameter fixture for the modernbert MIC, covering answerdotai/ModernBERT-base. It is a test artifact, not a usable model, tagged test-artifact to keep it out of candidate-model search.

• Fixture key d109ab451c9f. It covers every checkpoint whose processor files are byte-identical and whose config matches after shrinking.
• Same architecture, smaller config: ModernBertForMaskedLM, shrunk by the generic rule in sweep.py (num_hidden_layers 2).
• Processor files copied byte for byte from answerdotai/ModernBERT-base: special_tokens_map.json, tokenizer.json, tokenizer_config.json.
• Random weights (seed 17). They passed the input-sensitivity gate: every perturbation of the contract's inputs moved the logits by at least 0.001 (weakest: attention_mask:all_ones, 0.00121), so no training was needed.
• Same tensor names as the real checkpoint. The real checkpoint has every parameter, and so does the fixture.
• Saved in float32, the dtype answerdotai/ModernBERT-base loads in by default.
• Finite in float32, bfloat16, and float16 (forward, loss, gradients).

Built by build_fixtures.py; build.json records the pinned sources, gate results, and file hashes. This repository includes the slim weights, usage and framework expectations; rebuild the other files with python example/build_fixtures.py --fixture mic-modernbert-slim.
