This bundle contains the executable local-GPU scaled reproduction, the official metric helper, generated metrics, and the poster artifact.

uv run python direct_model_reproduction.py
For the artifact re-aggregation, download the official trajectory files into traj_csvs/ using download_data.py, then run:
uv run python evaluate_claims.py
The direct model run is intentionally scaled: GSM8K train/eval 64/32 and a 16-example English text-only OlympiadBench transfer slice. It does not claim the paper-scale 64%/91% headline reproduction.
