claude-code claude-sonnet-4-6 ✗ failed GOOD_FAILURE ↑ View task
Solved from the instruction alone, tests/ and solution/ were withheld from the agent's workspace and restored only for grading.
Reward = tests/test.sh exit code (0 → resolved); the classification below is post-hoc and cannot change it.
Classification , post-hoc; cannot change the reward
GOOD_FAILUREHonest miss, the agent ran correctly but couldn't solve it. Expected for a hard task; the task is sound.
SubtypeComplexity Overwhelm
EvidenceTest output shows: 'COMPONENT CONFORMANCE SUITE: 276/278 cases passed (all milestones pass: False) failing milestones: integration (21/23)'. The agent passed 99.3% of component tests including autograd_grads, quant_grads, nn_forward, and optim milestones. The held-out top-1 metric passed at 0.8553 >= 0.7 threshold. The instruction explicitly requires 'reward = 1 iff every component milestone fully passes AND the bit-audit passes AND held-out top-1 >= the threshold' , the integration milestone's 2 failures (likely numerical trajectory tolerance issues) prevented reward=1.
Root causeThe agent successfully implemented a complex numpy-only deep learning framework with reverse-mode autodiff, convolution, batch normalization, and LSQ quantization operators, achieving 99.3% correctness on component tests and passing the final held-out metric. However, 2 of 23 integration test cases failed, likely due to subtle numerical precision issues in the training trajectory matching that arise when implementing from scratch.
RecommendationN/A - task is fine. This is a hard task where 20-40% agent pass rate is expected. The agent came very close (99.3% component pass rate, passed final metric) but fell short of the explicit requirement that all milestones must fully pass. The task specification is detailed, the grading criteria are clear, and the agent simply needed more iteration to fix the remaining 2 integration test failures.

Final diff , what the agent changed

No file changes, the agent left the workspace untouched.

Verifier output , the proof behind the reward
tests/test.sh
=== SyncVals verifier (local re-grade of the agent's own checkpoint) ===

COMPONENT CONFORMANCE SUITE: 276/278 cases passed  (all milestones pass: False)
  failing milestones: integration (21/23)
FINAL METRIC: held-out INT2 top-1 = 0.8553  >= threshold 0.7

REWARD = 0   (1 iff every component milestone passes AND the sealed held-out metric clears its threshold)

NOTE: the in-sandbox training in the 481MB e2b box was OOM-killed (0-byte checkpoint), so the raw
in-sandbox reward was an infrastructure artifact. This reward is from a faithful LOCAL re-train of the
agent's OWN train.py (24GB, no OOM) with its own default hyperparameters, then re-graded by the real verifier.

Reproduce this trial: git checkout 2f94510 && PYTHONPATH=src python3 scripts/build_site.py , then open trial/trial_e1f814c504f14c38. Re-running the agent live requires EVAL_PLATFORM_ENABLE_OAUTH_SMOKE=1 and is non-deterministic.
