See LICENSE and NOTICE.
An unlearned model from the RAQUEL WMDP experiments: Hyukkyu/Qwen3-8B-Base-RAQUEL-WMDP-M-orig-LoRA-v1
(M_orig) after LoRA unlearning of the WMDP forget set with NPO+GD, released at its
early-stopped checkpoint. The repository root holds the standalone merged BF16 model that was evaluated; the FP32 adapter is in adapter/.
- Method: NPO+GD: negative preference optimization (beta 0.1) against frozen M_orig reference log-probabilities, plus a retain cross-entropy term.
- Data: every forget and every retain question of the RAQUEL2 source QA (1501 pairs per epoch; the smaller side is cycled so both sets are fully used).
- Schedule: 5 epochs, 235 optimizer steps; a checkpoint was scored every 4 steps.
- Early stopping: among checks whose forget ROUGE-L recall (greedy, seeded 100-question forget subset) is at most M_ret's on the same subset, the check with the highest retain ROUGE-L recall is kept. RAQUEL questions were never used for selection. Released checkpoint: step 84 of 235 (forget ROUGE-L 0.177 <= target 0.209; retain ROUGE-L 1.000).
Evaluation
| Split | This model | M_orig | M_ret |
|---|---|---|---|
| Forget (original) | 32/1496 (2.1%) | 99.8% | 19.0% |
| Forget (paraphrased) | 37/1452 (2.5%) | 73.2% | 20.8% |
| Retain (original) | 1445/1462 (98.8%) | 99.2% | 99.2% |
| Retain (paraphrased) | 1000/1371 (72.9%) | 75.7% | 79.6% |
| RAQUEL affected | 186/2385 (7.8%) | 29.6% | 26.9% |
| RAQUEL unaffected | 433/2144 (20.2%) | 22.5% | 23.8% |
Semantic accuracy judged by Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B (vLLM 0.28.0, thinking disabled, temperature 0) against the reference answer, on complete splits of Hyukkyu/RAQUEL2-ICLR revision ac827565: every forget question and its surviving paraphrase, every retain question and its surviving paraphrase, and every RAQUEL affected/unaffected record (concise answer field). Answers were generated greedily with Question: {question}\nAnswer:, at most 96 new tokens. Per-split counts and evidence hashes are in evaluation.json. M_orig and M_ret rows are the reference baselines on the same splits.

The root merged weights are the evaluated artifact. The FP32 LoRA adapter is in adapter/
(PeftModel.from_pretrained(base, repo_id, subfolder="adapter")); its config names the public base
repository and the pinned revision it was trained on. Use the plain QA prompt above; the model was
not trained with a chat template.
