NovaLiveSystem Showcase — November 2025 Snapshot

Highlights

• GRPO Breakthrough: First successful reinforcement learning run (nova_grpo_v1) on consumer hardware (RTX 4050).
• Inference Success: 10/10 pass rate on holdout probes following RL training.
• Architecture Evolution: Transitioned to a 3-stage pipeline (Base → SFT → GRPO) for cleaner separation of capability and alignment.
• Control Data: 7,700+ validated samples across grounding, discipline, and guardrail categories.

Included Artifacts

• README.md — public-facing architecture brief and collaboration context.
• training_results.md — checkpoint metrics, drift analysis, and next-step plan.
• screenshots/*.png — redacted validation captures (historical v22 era; new UI captures pending).
• meta/ — contact details and repository scope notes.

Known Gaps

1. Telemetry Vocabulary: Specific technical vocabulary for internal system monitoring is still being expanded in the training set.
2. UI Updates: Screenshots in this repo reflect the previous iteration (v22); updated visuals for the GRPO-era interface are forthcoming.

Suggested Next Steps for Reviewers

• Examine training_results.md to understand the new GRPO architecture and results.
• Review Grant One-Pager.md for the current funding and research roadmap.
• Reach out via meta/CONTACT.md for collaboration, grant discussions, or research partnerships.
