Eliminates infinite 32,768-token chain-of-thought looping in Qwen/Qwen3.5-0.8B by modifying 64 output columns of mlp.down_proj in layers 15 and 19 (131,072 bf16 weights, 0.016% of parameters). Lifts independent MATH-500 accuracy from 5.0% (7.9% paper) to 51.0% (48.1% paper).
Adds the missing generation_config.json to Qwen/Qwen3.5-0.8B with dual EOS stop tokens [248046 (<|im_end|>), 248044 (<|endoftext|>)] and verified sampling parameters, curing post-turn hallucination bleed.
Every patch is pre-registered, evaluated across 10,000 paired bootstrap and permutation tests, checked against the secret perturbed WSP-Holdout split and StrongREJECT/XSTest safety gates, and signed with Ed25519.
WSP is an open binary specification (.wsp v2.1) that stores surgical weight deltas and configuration fixes for open-weight models. It allows instant application in under 5 seconds via Copy-on-Write Safetensors without redownloading 16 GB base models.
How does WSP achieve 94% to 99% smaller files than LoRA?
LoRA applies low-rank matrices across all layers. WSP isolates the exact causal columns responsible for bugs (e.g. 64 columns across 2 MLP layers), reducing the file size down to 0.8 MB – 4 MB.
Can patches be reverted bit-exactly?
Yes. Running wsp revert <dir> restores the pristine original SHA-256 weight state in <1 second.
