+# Training-free option-letter readout
+
+JevAny includes an experimental evaluator for a training-free, single-answer-slot
+decision readout. It adapts the prompt and probability-aggregation semantics
+from [Cygnet](https://github.com/blockbrain-ai/cygnet-recipe/tree/3cf591c692dec649f7c134449814610307c7bb3a):
+
+1. Render the options in their original order as `A`, `B`, …, `Z`.
+2. Ask the model for exactly one option letter with thinking disabled.
+3. At the answer position, collect every vocabulary token whose decoded surface
+ is exactly each available uppercase letter. This emulates Cygnet's
+ `structured_outputs.choice` mask; leading-space, punctuated, and lowercase
+ forms are not admitted.
+4. Sum duplicate-token mass per letter and normalize over the available options.
+5. Optionally apply a temperature fitted for that model and evaluation domain.
+
+The model produces no explanation and the method needs no additional training.
+The same readout can be applied after loading a JevAny LoRA. For pointer
+checkpoints, the letter and native pointer distributions can also be combined
+log-linearly. The integrated commands call this knob
+`--letter-pointer-weight`; the standalone experiment script calls it
+`--pointer-weight`.
+
+## Run the public diagnostic
+
+Use `--readout letter` to score a JevAny checkpoint on any regular frozen suite
+or labelled JSONL. This example keeps temperature at 1 rather than copying a
+value fitted for another model:
+
+```bash
+jevany eval \
+ --run SimpleJev/JevAny-Qwen3.5-4B-LoRA \
+ --suite /path/to/jevbench-public-v1.4.2.2 \
+ --out runs/letter-readout/qwen35-4b \
+ --device cuda --readout letter --letter-temperature 1.0
+```
+
+The same selector works for one local decision or an HTTP deployment. Native
+checkpoint readout remains the default when `--readout` is omitted:
+
+```bash
+jevany decide request.json \
+ --checkpoint SimpleJev/JevAny-Qwen3.5-4B-LoRA \
+ --device cuda --dtype bf16 --readout letter
+
+jevany serve \
+ --checkpoint SimpleJev/JevAny-Qwen3.5-4B-LoRA \
+ --device cuda --dtype bf16 --readout letter
+```
+
+The standalone evaluator additionally supports a frozen base via `--base`,
+tier sampling, and explicit LoRA scaling:
+
+```bash
+python scripts/evaluate_letter_readout.py \
+ --checkpoint SimpleJev/JevAny-Qwen3.5-4B-LoRA \
+ --suite /path/to/jevbench-public-v1.4.2.2 \
+ --out runs/letter-readout/qwen35-4b \
+ --device cuda --dtype bf16 --temperature 1.0
+```
+
+Add `--sample-per-tier 1` for a three-record smoke test. Use
+`--lora-scale 0` with a checkpoint to evaluate its exact pinned base without
+the adapter. A nonzero `--pointer-weight` requires a native pointer checkpoint
+and adds a second, pointer-formatted model pass per request.
+
+Current limits:
+
+- text-only model input;
+- 1–26 options per question;
+- safetensors weights for models with an untied language-model output head;
+- one letter-formatted prefill per question, plus one native prefill when
+ pointer blending is enabled;
+- native inference-limit and CUDA-graph flags do not apply to the chat-formatted
+ letter path; use `--letter-max-tokens` for its prompt limit.
+
+Temperature changes reported probabilities but does not change the letter-only
+argmax. Fit it on a separate calibration split for each model. Cygnet's `3.4`
+was fitted for its own Gemma configuration and is not a default for JevAny.
+
+## Benchmark units
+
+The official score and the public diagnostic answer different questions:
+
+| Result | Evaluation set | Unit |
+|---|---:|---|
+| Cygnet 73.70 | JevBench v1.5.4, 1,624 decisions: 904 open + 720 sealed | Equal-weight harmonic mean of Intelligence, Calibration, Speed and Cost |
+| Cygnet 203/231 (87.9%) | Public development set, 231 decisions | Accuracy |
+| JevAny results in the current README | Same public development set, 231 decisions | Accuracy |
+
+Cygnet ranks first among 106 systems on the official v1.5.4 composite and is a
+statistical tie with Winnow-12B Q8. The 73.70 composite is not `73.70%` and
+cannot be compared numerically with public-set accuracy. See Cygnet's
+[official-submission report](https://github.com/blockbrain-ai/cygnet-recipe/pull/4)
+and the [JevBench v1.5.4 board](https://benchmarkheaven.com/jev-models/v1.5.4).
+
+## Results
+
+All JevAny values below are local pinned-checkpoint runs at temperature 1. The
+complete metrics, suite hashes, report hashes, and paired counts are in
+[`results/letter-readout-v1.json`](../results/letter-readout-v1.json).
+These are separate matched reruns of the pinned released checkpoints for this
+ablation; they do not replace the main model-family table, whose frozen
+checkpoints and run provenance differ.
+
+
+
+JevBench public is a 231-question development diagnostic, not the sealed
+v1.5.4 board. `Base + letter` disables the JevAny adapter; the other columns use
+the released adapter. Deltas and two-sided exact McNemar p-values compare each
+adapter readout with the native pointer on the same questions.
+
+| Model | Base + letter | Native | Letter | Fixed 50/50 blend |
+|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
+| Qwen3.5-4B | 79.65% | 80.09% | 81.39% (+1.30, p=.749) | **81.82%** (+1.73, p=.424) |
+| Qwen3.8-27B | 88.31% | 89.61% | 89.61% (+0.00, p=1.000) | **90.04%** (+0.43, p=1.000) |
+
+Transfer-v9 evaluates all 1,264 requests without rejection or truncation. Its
+accuracy headline uses the 1,046 clean knowable decisions.
+
+| Model | Native | Letter | Fixed 50/50 blend |
+|---|---:|---:|---:|
+| Qwen3.5-4B | **79.16%** | 75.72% (-3.44, p=.0028) | 79.06% (-0.10, p=1.000) |
+| Qwen3.8-27B | 86.23% | 84.23% (-2.01, p=.0375) | **86.90%** (+0.67, p=.337) |
+
+The 27B blend gets 909/1,046 decisions right versus 902/1,046 for native, but
+the seven-question gain is not statistically significant. The fixed blend is
+also not a universal improvement: at 4B it gets one fewer answer right. None of
+the positive gains in either table is significant at the 0.05 level. The
+letter-only Transfer-v9 losses show that a public-diagnostic gain does not by
+itself establish transfer.
+
+## Latency diagnostic
+
+One warmed run per mode on H200/BF16 measured the same heterogeneous 231-record
+panel with 16 warmups, one measured repeat, and concurrency 1. Values are external
+end-to-end median / p95 milliseconds; loading and network transport are
+excluded.
+
+| Model | Native | Letter | Fixed 50/50 blend |
+|---|---:|---:|---:|
+| Qwen3.5-4B | 138.43 / 200.98 | **131.86** / 201.55 (1.05x median speedup) | 250.34 / 388.31 (1.81x median latency) |
+| Qwen3.8-27B | 194.70 / 477.67 | **181.58** / 492.51 (1.07x median speedup) | 367.40 / 943.44 (1.89x median latency) |
+
+Letter-only has a modest median improvement on this panel despite using more
+logical input tokens on average (701 versus 602); p95 does not improve. The
+blend evaluates both prefills and averages 1,303 logical input tokens. This is
+not saturated server throughput or a general speed claim.
+
+## Practical principles
+
+- Treat letter readout as a model-and-domain ablation, not a drop-in upgrade.
+ Keep it only after a paired evaluation on the target decision distribution.
+- Blend only when the two readouts make complementary errors. The fixed 50/50
+ pool helped 27B on both diagnostics; at 4B it helped JevBench public but not
+ Transfer-v9. Select the weight on a separate development split.
+- Calibrate each model, readout, and domain separately. Cygnet's fitted
+ temperature `3.4` does not transfer to these Qwen checkpoints.
+- Re-measure latency in the deployment runtime and traffic mix. The one-pass
+ letter path can trim median latency, while blending requires both letter and
+ native passes and nearly doubles median latency here.
