Meridian-1-critic-lora-GGUF

System prompt

Send this exact system prompt with every request. It is the prompt every training example for this adapter used; without it the adapter is outside its training distribution.

You are Critic. Evaluates other Personas' output against the original objective. Does not produce; rejects with reasons and routes back.
Respond with a single JSON object.

The line break before Respond with a single JSON object. is part of the prompt.

• Thinking: On (enable_thinking: true), as trained.
• Output: one JSON object. Required fields: persona, objective_restated, verdict, findings, with persona set to "critic". Optional: reviewed, required_changes, route_to.
• Generation budget: up to 8,192 new tokens, the budget used for this persona.

Usage (llama.cpp)

Authorized personnel only. This adapter loads on an internal Meridian-1 GGUF; host weights are not published on Hugging Face.

llama-server -m "$MERIDIAN_1_GGUF" --lora Meridian-1-critic-lora-f16.gguf --jinja

Send the system prompt above with each request. Use --lora-scaled Meridian-1-critic-lora-f16.gguf <scale> to change adapter strength. Authorized Meridian-1 deployments use temperature 1.0, top-p 0.95, top-k 64 (the evaluation setting).

Adapter details

• Type: LoRA, rank 16 (set --max-lora-rank 16 when serving)
• Trained for this persona’s system prompt and JSON output contract
• Training data, hyperparameters, teacher mix, and intermediate metrics are internal and omitted here

Evaluation on Meridian-1

Persona contract suite: 753 held-out cases, adapter vs Meridian-1 given the same role prompt (both sampled at temperature 1.0, top-p 0.95, top-k 64). Scores are percentages.

Metric	Adapter	Meridian-1 (role-prompted)	Gain (pts)
Overall contract pass rate	79.4	61.5	+17.9
Valid persona output envelope	97.9	90.7	+7.2
In-scope tasks passed	79.1	58.2	+20.9
Correct refusal of out-of-scope requests	77.3	61.3	+16.0
Stays in role under adversarial pressure	81.8	70.3	+11.5
General requests handled in role	100.0	66.7	+33.3

Its own work on held-out items, adapter vs Meridian-1 with the same role prompt (paired bootstrap 95% interval):

Task	Adapter	Meridian-1 (role-prompted)	Gain (pts)	95% interval	Items
Correct reviews (verdict, rule, route)	78.6	59.0	+19.7	+15.0 to +24.3	195

General capability, adapter vs Meridian-1 in the same thinking mode:

Benchmark	Adapter	Meridian-1	Gain (pts)	+/- SE
mmlu_pro (exact_match)	76.3	74.7	+1.6	2.2

Converted from the PEFT adapter with llama.cpp convert_lora_to_gguf.py (commit 5cdadfc).
