# GLM-4.7-Flash-KGuard-REAP-56E

Korean-priority one-shot MoE Expert pruning of [zai-org/GLM-4.7-Flash](https://huggingface.co/zai-org/GLM-4.7-Flash), produced with [K-REAP](https://github.com/Chedrian07/K-REAP).

Routed Experts were pruned **64 → 56 per layer (12.5%)** while top-4 routing was kept unchanged.
This percentage is the reduction in routed Expert count, not total model parameters.
The checkpoint contains **27.75B parameters** (base 31.22B; **11.13% total-parameter reduction**) and occupies **51.71 GiB** (approximately **11.1% smaller** than the base checkpoint),
is stored in BF16/F32 safetensors, and received **no fine-tuning**.

| Status | Result |
|---|---|
| Checkpoint integrity checks | **PASS** |
| Internal release gate | **NOT PASSED** |
| External reproduction | **NOT YET REPORTED** |
| Deployment status | **EXPERIMENTAL** |

**Best tested strict K-Guard checkpoint in this GLM grid, but it did not pass the project's internal release criteria.** It is the only checkpoint here whose complete hard-protected set fits every layer budget.

## What this checkpoint shows

- Method: **K-Guard REAP**
- Korean MC macro: **66.6** (base 68.8, -2.2 pp)
- Overall non-Korean composite: **62.5** (base 65.5, -3.0 pp)
- Coding 2-benchmark macro: **72.5** (base 76.0, -3.5 pp)
- LiveCodeBench v6 pass@1: **25.1** (base 22.9, +2.3 pp)
- Coding 3-benchmark macro: **56.7** (base 58.3, -1.6 pp)
- Protection budget: Satisfied in all 46 routed MoE layers; no protected Expert was force-dropped.

| Coding 3-bench macro | **58.3** | **56.7** | **54.1** | **47.8** | **57.7** |

Aggregate rows are unweighted arithmetic means. The overall non-Korean composite averages
six English reasoning/knowledge metrics, two math metrics, and two safety/bias metrics. The
coding 3-benchmark macro averages HumanEval+, MBPP+, and LiveCodeBench v6 pass@1. These mixed
summaries are compact internal comparisons, not standardized leaderboard scores.

## Compatibility

| Runtime or feature | Status |
|---|---|
| Transformers 5.0.0, PyTorch/CUDA, eager attention and eager Experts on DGX Spark | **Validated** |
| Native `from_pretrained(..., trust_remote_code=False)` loading | **Validated** |
| Speculative MTP/NextN decoding | **Unsupported (`mtp_compatible=false`)** |
| vLLM | **Untested for this pruned checkpoint** |
| SGLang | **Untested for this pruned checkpoint** |

- Architecture: `Glm4MoeLiteForCausalLM`.
- Model code: native Transformers implementation; no repository-side `modeling_*.py` is
  required, and the checkpoint loads with `trust_remote_code=False`.
- Preserved: first Dense layer, shared Experts, `topk_method=noaux_tc`,
  `norm_topk_prob=true`, router correction bias, and `routed_scaling_factor=1.8`.
- Routing: top-4 remains unchanged; only routed Expert tensors and corresponding router rows/bias
  entries were compacted with one old→new ID map per layer.
- The extra layer-47 MTP/NextN tensors are retained for checkpoint completeness, but runtime
  validation reports `mtp_compatible=false`. Use standard autoregressive generation; speculative
  MTP/NextN decoding is not supported by this release.
- Top-4 routing is unchanged, so the checkpoint-size and resident-weight reduction must not be
  interpreted as a proportional reduction in active Expert compute or latency. Cold-load time,
  TTFT, prefill/decode throughput, batch scaling, power, and 4K/32K/128K serving behavior have not
  been benchmarked.

## How it was made

### Source checkpoint

- Base: [zai-org/GLM-4.7-Flash](https://huggingface.co/zai-org/GLM-4.7-Flash)
- Frozen revision: `7dd20894a642a0aa287e9827cb1a1f7f91386b67`
- Original routed MoE layout: first layer Dense, then 46 routed MoE layers with 64 Experts,
  top-4 routing, plus shared Experts.

### Calibration dataset

| Group | Records | Role |
|---|---:|---|
| Korean/English semantic pairs | 2,752 | Korean↔English routing contrast |
| Common Korean | 2,752 | Korean routing coverage |
| General replay | 1,344 | General-capability retention |
| GLM-specialized | 1,344 | Documents, language retention, reasoning, security, structured output, tool calling |
| **Total** | **8,192** | **5,472 Korean / 2,720 English; 1,376 pairs** |

- 6,848 records contain source teacher responses.
- 1,344 GLM-specialized records use deterministic base-model rollouts.
- Prompt/response observations cover 3,898,756 token memberships.
- The manifest passed a separate internal token-length and exact-prompt contamination validator.
- The exact calibration manifest and deterministic reconstruction script are not included in this
  model repository, so the full GLM experiment is not yet externally reproducible from public
  materials alone.

### Observation and scoring

- Selected-only observer: only routed Expert assignments were measured; no dense
  `[experts, tokens, hidden]` activation tensor was retained.
- REAP contribution: normalized dispatch weight × L2 norm of the unweighted Expert output.
- Router selection and dispatch were checked separately so GLM's correction bias affects selection
  without being mistaken for the actual dispatch weight.
- The observed model remained logit-identical to the uninstrumented eager model in validation.

### Pruning

- Uniform routed Experts per layer: `64 → 56`.
- Shared Experts and the first Dense layer were not pruned.
- Top-4 and routed scaling factor 1.8 were retained.
- Safetensors surgery physically compacted Expert tensors, router rows, and correction-bias entries.
- Protection result: Satisfied in all 46 routed MoE layers; no protected Expert was force-dropped.

## Evaluation scope

These are **internal comparative evaluation results**, not standardized leaderboard numbers:

- KMMLU: deterministic 500-example subset (seed 42).
- KoBEST: declared BoolQ, COPA, SentiNeg, and HellaSwag evaluation splits.
- ARC-Challenge, HellaSwag-en, WinoGrande, MMLU-Pro, TruthfulQA MC2, MMLU-en, GSM8K, MathQA,
  BBQ, and SafetyBench: deterministic 512-example subsets.
- HumanEval+: full 164 tasks; MBPP+: frozen full 378-task revision; greedy pass@1.
- LiveCodeBench: full incremental v6 split (175 problems), n=1 greedy no-thinking generation,
  batch size 1, with official functional tests executed in an isolated ARM64 container. This
  protocol is not directly comparable to the official leaderboard's n=10 sampling protocol.
- The machine-readable field `decision_eligible=true` means that the run passed the project's
  internal screening checks. It is not an external certification. `release_eligible=false`.
- Do not compare these subset scores directly with full-set or few-shot leaderboard values.

Machine-readable results and the exact survivor manifest are included under `evaluation/`.

**Internal release-gate result:** The project plan's 12.5% gate allows at most -1.0 pp Korean macro
and -2.0 pp overall non-Korean composite. This checkpoint measured -2.2 pp and -3.0 pp, so it did
not pass the internal release criteria despite being the best tested GLM candidate. Some losses are
concentrated: HellaSwag-en, MMLU-en, and BBQ decline more than the aggregate suggests.

### Interpretation boundaries

- This grid does not isolate the causal effect of hard protection. K-Guard and REAP-Code differ in
  both calibration data and survivor-selection rules. A same-calibration REAP baseline and
  component ablations are still required.
- Machine-readable results include direct K-Guard-48E versus REAP-Code-48E McNemar tests for 11
  non-Korean binary/pass-fail tasks. Direct paired tests for the Korean benchmark set, aggregate
  bootstrap confidence intervals, multiple-comparison correction, and repeated calibration seeds
  are not included.
- `PASS` in the artifacts refers to checkpoint integrity and internal pipeline validation, not
  external replication.

## Usage

Install a Transformers release that includes `Glm4MoeLiteForCausalLM`:

```bash
pip install "transformers>=5.0.0" accelerate safetensors
```

The checkpoint was validated with Transformers 5.0.0 and NVIDIA PyTorch 25.09.
It uses the native Transformers model implementation and does not execute custom
code from this repository.

```python
import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_id = "buugiiiiii/GLM-4.7-Flash-KGuard-REAP-56E"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(
    model_id,
    trust_remote_code=False,
)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
    model_id,
    dtype=torch.bfloat16,
    device_map="auto",
    trust_remote_code=False,
    attn_implementation="eager",
    experts_implementation="eager",
)
model.eval()

messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "한국어로 이진 탐색을 설명해줘."}]
prompt = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    tokenize=False,
    add_generation_prompt=True,
    enable_thinking=False,
)
inputs = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

with torch.inference_mode():
    output = model.generate(
        **inputs,
        max_new_tokens=256,
        do_sample=False,
        pad_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id,
    )

print(tokenizer.decode(output[0, inputs["input_ids"].shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True))
```

## Limitations

Expert pruning is irreversible within this checkpoint and can change routing behavior sharply on
tasks not represented by the calibration or evaluation sets. No post-pruning recovery or
fine-tuning was applied. Reported Korean behavior is relative to the tested base checkpoint and
harness; it does not imply universal Korean-language safety or quality preservation. The current
release is not validated for speculative MTP/NextN decoding.

The Korean evaluation is primarily multiple-choice. Korean long-form generation, summarization,
multi-turn dialogue, format-following, code explanation/debugging, factuality, hallucination,
safety, tool calling, JSON output, and long-context retrieval were not comprehensively evaluated.
Chinese capability is inherited from the base model but was not specifically protected or
evaluated after pruning. vLLM/SGLang compatibility and deployment performance remain unverified.
