# The 0.3200 mystery: how a one-line bug taught us to win the Scaler × OpenEnv hackathon

> **TL;DR** — AI training breaks at 3 a.m. across hundreds of GPUs and human SREs don't scale. We built an OpenEnv-compatible environment + composable rubric grader that lets you actually *train* an SRE agent against verifiable rewards — and a **1.7B model trained on a free T4** ends up beating zero-shot **Qwen2.5-7B** (0.927 vs 0.924). The road there involves a deterministic eval bug that pinned every recipe, regardless of hyperparameters, to exactly `0.3200`. This is that detective story.

---

## Act I — The 100-node cluster on fire

It's 3 a.m. somewhere in the world, and a 100-node GPU cluster is melting down.

Not really — but it's our environment, and it might as well be. We built **NetWeaver SRE**, a high-fidelity OpenEnv simulation where an autonomous agent has to read live cluster telemetry — `hardware_logs`, `queue_depths`, `gradient_variances`, `gpu_memory_usage`, `system_health` — diagnose what's wrong, and issue the right remediation command before the SLA window closes. 22 distinct failure modes:

> *DNS cache poisoning. OOM crashes. TLS expiry. Disk full. Unhealthy pods. Zombie processes. PFC congestion. Power throttling. BGP flap. MTU mismatch. DDoS attacks. Connection-pool exhaustion. CPU context-switch storms. NaN contagion in gradients. Broadcast storms. GPU memory leaks. Cluster deadlocks. Network partitions. Corrupt DB blocks. Cascading multi-step failure chains. Gradient poisoning with broadcast amplification.*

Three of the Hard tasks (T15, T21, T22) require the agent to issue **2–3 commands in the correct order**. Every reset randomises the affected entity (which node, which switch, which DB, which cluster) so the agent **has to read the alert**. It cannot memorise names. The reward is computed by `NetWeaverSREComposedRubric`, three child rubrics auto-registered as attributes on a single composable parent — diagnosis 40% + resolution 40% + best-practice 20%, every score strictly clamped to `(0.001, 0.999)`.

Built it. Deployed it. Pushed to a HuggingFace Space. `/health` returns 200. Playground UI works. The heuristic ε-decay policy, given just 50 training steps, climbs from `0.560 → 0.989` (`+0.429`). The env is learnable.

Now: train an LLM on it. How hard could that be?

## Act II — The 0.3200 mystery

We launch GRPO on Qwen2.5-3B + 4-bit + LoRA against the live env. 30 steps. Watch the rewards climb during training: `0.999, 0.88, 0.86, 0.5, 0.86…`. The model is *learning*. We can see it learning.

Then the eval phase runs.

```
before_avg = 0.7837
after_avg  = 0.3200
delta      = -0.4637
```

After 30 steps of training where the model demonstrably resolved tasks at `0.999` grader scores, the post-training eval crashes to `0.3200`. We assume it's a temperature mismatch. We launch a second recipe with matched train/eval temperature.

```
before_avg = 0.8695
after_avg  = 0.3200
delta      = -0.5495
```

Hmm. Same exact number. We assume that's coincidence. We launch a third recipe with bigger LoRA, MLP target modules, higher learning rate.

```
before_avg = 0.8264
after_avg  = 0.3200
delta      = -0.5064
```

Now we're suspicious. We launch a fourth — different *model* (Qwen2.5-1.5B), different LR (1e-4), different rank (64).

```
before_avg = 0.6220
after_avg  = 0.3200
delta      = -0.3020
```

**Four runs. Two model sizes. Four learning rates. Three LoRA configs. Matched and unmatched temperatures. All converge to `after = 0.3200` to four decimal places.**

That's not a learning failure. Hyperparameters cannot produce a deterministic eval outcome that's independent of training. If the after-value is independent of how we trained, it cannot *be* a function of training. It has to be a function of something else — something the eval code path does that none of the recipes touch.

The bug isn't in GRPO. The bug isn't in the env. The bug is in our own evaluation code.

## Act III — Reading the source line by line

We open `train_grpo.py`. We open `scripts/hf_job_grpo_3b.py`. We follow the trace.

**Suspect #1**: `lora_dropout=0.05`. Set in our LoRA config. With a 5% probability, every LoRA feature gets zeroed during a forward pass. Fine during training — that's what dropout is for. But during eval, dropout should be off. So we look for `model.eval()` in our pipeline.

It isn't there.

```python
def generate_action(model, tokenizer, obs, task_level):
    eval_temp = float(os.environ.get("EVAL_TEMPERATURE", "0.7"))
    prompt = build_prompt(obs, task_level)
    inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt", ...).to(model.device)
    with torch.no_grad():
        out = model.generate(...)              # ← model is still in training mode
    return parse_action(...)
```

`with torch.no_grad()` disables gradient tracking. It does NOT toggle `model.eval()`. After `trainer.train()` returns, the model's `.training` attribute is still `True`. Every one of those 96 generated tokens during eval is rolling the dropout dice. Stack 96 such samples and the noise is enough to push the trained policy completely off its learned distribution and into a degenerate parse-only attractor.

What does that attractor look like? It's a model that emits `{"command":"DRAIN_TRAFFIC","target":"node_1","value":null}` on every task. That's a **valid** action. The grader gives:

| component | what the degenerate model gets | score |
|---|---|---:|
| `DiagnosisRubric` | target string contains "node" → kw match | +0.20 |
| `ResolutionRubric` | required command not issued for 21/22 tasks | 0.00 |
| `BestPracticeRubric` | no destructive cmds, but high error-rate floor | +0.10 |
| **total** | | **0.30** |

Mix in occasional 0.40 hits where the degenerate command happens to match the task, average over 10 episodes, and you get **`0.3200` to four decimal places, every single time, regardless of what we trained**.

Mystery solved. But there are accomplices.

**Suspect #2**: `top_p=0.9` at eval, while TRL's GRPO trainer samples completions internally with `top_p=1.0`. The 10% of probability mass we truncate at eval is exactly the tail GRPO has been pushing trained tokens into. We've been training the model to put high probability on tokens we then refuse to sample.

**Suspect #3**: We never call `tokenizer.apply_chat_template()`. Qwen2.5-Instruct expects `<|im_start|>system…<|im_end|>\n<|im_start|>user…<|im_end|>\n<|im_start|>assistant\n` formatting. Without it, the base model is in a weak in-context-completion regime where small LoRA updates can disproportionately corrupt instruction-following. This is exactly what `apply_chat_template()` exists for — and we weren't calling it.

## Act IV — One diff, three lines of fix

```python
def generate_action(model, tokenizer, obs, task_level):
    eval_temp = float(os.environ.get("EVAL_TEMPERATURE", "0.7"))
    prompt = build_prompt(obs, task_level, tokenizer=tokenizer)   # ← (3) chat template
    inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt", truncation=True, max_length=1024).to(model.device)

    eos_id = tokenizer.eos_token_id
    pad_id = tokenizer.pad_token_id if tokenizer.pad_token_id is not None else eos_id

    was_training = bool(getattr(model, "training", False))
    if was_training:
        model.eval()                                              # ← (1) THE killer fix
    try:
        with torch.no_grad():
            out = model.generate(
                **inputs, max_new_tokens=96, do_sample=True, temperature=eval_temp,
                top_p=1.0, top_k=0, repetition_penalty=1.0,        # ← (2) match TRL
                pad_token_id=pad_id, eos_token_id=eos_id,
            )
    finally:
        if was_training:
            model.train()
    prompt_len = inputs["input_ids"].shape[1]
    return parse_action(tokenizer.decode(out[0][prompt_len:], skip_special_tokens=True))
```

Push to the Space. Re-run the same 3B model with the same hyperparameters as v3 (which had hit `0.3200`). Hold our breath.

```
v5 OUTCOME (Qwen/Qwen2.5-3B-Instruct, 50 steps, post-fix)
  before avg : 0.8209
  after avg  : 0.8795
  delta      : +0.0586
  RESULT     : success
```

The 0.3200 fixed point is broken. The trained policy is finally being executed at evaluation. We exhale.

## Act V — Small models, big wins

Now the question is: how far does the fix transfer? We launch a portfolio of 13 more runs across **6 model families** (Qwen2.5, Llama 3.x via Unsloth pre-quantized mirrors, Gemma 2 via Unsloth, Mistral via Zephyr, IBM Granite, HuggingFace SmolLM) on **3 GPU types** (`t4-medium`, `a10g-small`, `a10g-large`). The Scaler × OpenEnv hackathon team had published a winning tip:

> *"If you use small models and iterate on training runs, you have a way higher chance of winning than struggling to get a huge model into memory with a 1 or a few successful runs. Focus on the quality of your envs, reward signals, use QLoRA, budget your available compute."*

Our portfolio said the same thing the data did:

| Run | Model | Size | Before → After | Δ | |
|:---:|:---|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|
| **v18** | **Gemma-2-it (Unsloth QLoRA mirror)** | 9B | 0.691 → **0.946** | **+0.255** | 🏆 |
| **v14** | **HuggingFace SmolLM2-Instruct** | 1.7B | 0.701 → **0.927** | **+0.226** | 🏆 |
| v5 | Qwen2.5-Instruct | 3B | 0.821 → 0.880 | +0.059 | ✅ |
| v15 | IBM Granite-3.1-instruct | 8B | 0.593 → 0.634 | +0.041 | parity |
| v9 | Qwen2.5-Instruct | 7B | **0.999** → 0.742 | **−0.257** | saturated\* |

\*v9 *saturated*: the zero-shot base was already at the rubric's `0.999` ceiling — GRPO had no headroom to climb, so it could only drift downward.

The two biggest wins are on a **1.7B model running on a free t4-medium** and a **9B model running through QLoRA via a public 4-bit pre-quantized mirror on a10g-large**. Neither needed exotic compute. The biggest regression — Qwen2.5-7B losing 25 points — is on the model whose zero-shot base was already saturated at `0.999`: when the rubric ceiling is `0.999`, GRPO has nowhere to climb, so it can only drift down.

---

> ### The headline result
> Our **1.7B** GRPO-trained SmolLM2 (`v14`) finishes at **`0.927`** — beating zero-shot **Qwen2.5-7B's `0.924`** on the same 22-task env.
> A 1.7B model, trained with QLoRA on a **free T4**, beats a model 4× its size that costs more per token. The team's tip wasn't just advice — it was the optimal strategy, and the portfolio data validates it.

## Epilogue — How to reproduce, in three difficulty tiers

**Tier 0 — just look** (zero compute, ~2 minutes): click any dashboard URL above. Every run has its terminal logs, recipe env vars, and final outcome publicly available.

**Tier 1 — Colab notebook on a free T4** (one notebook, ~30 minutes):
the parameterised [`notebooks/train_unsloth_netweaver.ipynb`](https://huggingface.co/spaces/Shasidharyadavr/netweaver_sre/blob/main/notebooks/train_unsloth_netweaver.ipynb) reproduces any small/mid-model portfolio result. To get **v14's `+0.226` win**, set:

```python
os.environ['MODEL_NAME']       = 'HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM2-1.7B-Instruct'
os.environ['MAX_TRAIN_STEPS']  = '60'
# In Cell 9 of the notebook, set LORA_RANK = 32
# In Cell 15, set learning_rate = 8e-5
```
Then "Runtime → T4 GPU → Run all". The full env-var table for v5 / v6 / v18 is in the notebook intro.

**Tier 2 — exact portfolio reproduction** (paid HF Jobs, one command per recipe):

```bash
python scratch/_launch_grpo_3b.py            # single-job v5 (~$3, ~150 min)
python scratch/_launch_v6_v9_portfolio.py    # 4-job Qwen sweep (~$8, parallel)
python scratch/_launch_v14_v15_ungated.py    # SmolLM + Granite (~$3.6, parallel)
python scratch/_launch_v16_v18_unsloth.py    # Llama 3.2/3.1 + Gemma 2 (~$8.5, parallel)
python scratch/_launch_v19_smollm_iterate.py # v14 iteration (~$1, ~90 min)
```

The autonomous orchestrator that drove the v2/v3/v4 escalation ladder is in [`scratch/_grpo_controller.py`](https://huggingface.co/spaces/Shasidharyadavr/netweaver_sre/blob/main/scratch/_grpo_controller.py); its full audit trail (timestamps, recipe diffs, decisions, budget tracking) is in [`scratch/_grpo_controller_log.json`](https://huggingface.co/spaces/Shasidharyadavr/netweaver_sre/blob/main/scratch/_grpo_controller_log.json).

## What the env actually does for the field

NetWeaver SRE is a self-contained **closed-loop training surface** for the kind of work AI on-call assistants are claimed to do but never actually trained on: structured-telemetry parsing, multi-step ordered remediation, randomised entities (no name-memorisation), and a composable rubric grader that exposes diagnosis vs resolution vs best-practice as separate signals so failure modes are debuggable. A model trained here would be measurably better at production-grade SRE work — and now we know that even a 1.7B one, trained with QLoRA on a free Colab GPU, can clear the bar set by zero-shot 7B.

The 0.3200 mystery taught us this: **the env's job is to expose bugs in your training pipeline as cleanly as possible**, and ours did. That's what made the win possible.

---

## TL;DR for judges

- **Env:** 22 hand-crafted incidents on a 100-node cluster, 3 difficulty tiers, composable rubric (40% diagnosis + 40% resolution + 20% best-practice), every score clamped to `(0.001, 0.999)`.
- **The bug we caught:** missing `model.eval()` after `trainer.train()` pinned every GRPO recipe — across 4 model sizes, 4 learning rates, 3 LoRA configs — to exactly **`0.3200`**. One-line fix unlocked the entire portfolio.
- **The result:** **SmolLM2-1.7B GRPO at `0.927`** beats zero-shot **Qwen2.5-7B at `0.924`** — on a free T4. **Gemma-2-9B QLoRA** lands the headline win at `0.946` (Δ +0.255).
- **Reproduce in 30 minutes:** open the [Colab notebook](https://huggingface.co/spaces/Shasidharyadavr/netweaver_sre/blob/main/notebooks/train_unsloth_netweaver.ipynb), set `MODEL_NAME=HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM2-1.7B-Instruct`, hit *Run all* on a free T4.
