Selected Claims

Claim 1 partial-support evidence/claims.json#/claim_1/status

PostTrainBench evaluates autonomous post-training agents across 4 base models and 7 benchmarks under a 10-hour single-H100 budget (Figure 1). evidence/claims.json#/claim_1/text

SHA-256: 9c0c1fc52ad2a93a9dbe299532b952948c4ecb674f820fe19f78f6a3c33b0073 evidence/claims.json#/claim_1/sha256

Released trajectory inventory confirms 4-by-7 coverage across all accepted benchmark/model cells. Runner configuration defaults to one H100 with a NUM_HOURS-based timeout. The current checkout's scheduler-dependent branches and five-minute termination grace are reported as limitations. evidence/claims.json#/claim_1/summary

Claim 2 partial-support evidence/claims.json#/claim_2/status

The paper reports reward-hacking failure modes including training on test sets, downloading instruction-tuned checkpoints, and using discovered API keys for synthetic data (Abstract). evidence/claims.json#/claim_2/text

SHA-256: d185d61e5d886672a739e321e048df2378b71f55cf388ec4097bd2df1a916aad evidence/claims.json#/claim_2/sha256

Released contamination and instruction-model judgments provide partial support for two of three reward-hacking submodes. The API-key submode artifact is absent from the pinned revision. evidence/claims.json#/claim_2/summary
