# Hermes Validation v1

A [Laya](https://github.com/NandhaKishorM/laya) typed-decision model, fine-tuned with
[System One Studio](https://github.com/biplovgautam/LayaStudio) on an Apple silicon Mac. It
answers the questions below in a single forward pass, with calibrated probabilities and
**zero generated tokens**.

Base model: `convaiinnovations/laya` · method: lora, proper objective · trained in
122 minutes on an Apple silicon Mac.

## Measured on the held-out test split

_No comparison was recorded for this run._



Test rows were never trained on. Accuracy intervals are Wilson intervals; the paired test
is an exact McNemar test between the base and the fine-tuned model on the same rows.

## Use it

```bash
pip install systemonemodels
systemone pull vorthalis/hermes-validation-v1
```

```python
import json
import laya_mlx as laya  # pip install laya-mlx, on Apple silicon
from systemone import snapshot_download

path = snapshot_download("vorthalis/hermes-validation-v1")
agent = laya.load(str(path))
questions = json.loads((path / "questions.json").read_text())
print(agent.predict("your text here", questions)["answers"])
```

Ask it **these** questions: the instructions and option texts are part of the model's
input, so changing them changes the task it was tuned for.

```json
{
  "meets_spec": {
    "type": "noul",
    "instructions": "Output meets specification"
  },
  "quality_score": {
    "type": "score",

    ]
  }
}
```

The same folder also loads in the upstream PyTorch `laya` package on Linux and NVIDIA, and
System One Studio can export it to ONNX.

**NoulXP:** this version carries a NoulXP package in `noulxp/` (noulxp/0.1, encoder-markers profile: an ONNX graph over these weights). Before publishing, System One Studio recorded this fine-tune's own answers to NoulXP's 52 conformance requests with the `laya` package 0.3.5 (float32, CPU), and the NoulXP reference runtime (noulxp 0.4.0) reproduced 52 of 52 cases on the CPU (max |Δp| 5.0e-05, tolerance 0.01). systemonemodels.tech runs the same check before it shows the model as NoulXP compatible.
