Pin the MRCR preparation dependencies.
The N3 prepare path uses transformers.AutoTokenizer to count tokens and drops samples above 1,048,576 tokens. Line 132 installs unversioned packages, so dependency updates can change token counts and dataset membership. Use a committed lock or constraints file for tiktoken, transformers, and their tokenizer dependencies. Record its revision with each run.

Bot review (bedrock-claude-opus-5) — DM the bot to share feedback.
Design review (gate fired on 6 directories): the PR isn't a new subsystem — it adds one more task to the existing pattern for NeMo Gym benchmarks (recipes/tasks/<task>.md recipe + self-contained recipes/examples/.../example_<task>.yaml + a SKILL.md branch + a row in references/quantization-benchmarks.md), exactly as GDPVal already does. The only structural decision is the aa_gym/ + gym_gdpval//gym_mrcr/ → gym/ regrouping, and the PR body explicitly justifies it (group by harness, state AA membership per task in a table instead of encoding it in the path) and moves the membership signal into both recipe headers and the SKILL.md index table. That's a reasonable trade and no second mechanism is introduced, so I'm satisfied on design and reviewed for correctness.
I verified mechanically: the three renames landed (recipes/examples/gym/{example_gdpval,example_mrcr}.yaml, recipes/tasks/gym/), and every file in the repo that referenced aa_gym / gym_gdpval / examples/gym_* (SKILL.md, env.example, references/gym-gdpval.md, references/quantization-benchmarks.md, scripts/gdpval-sif.sh, the GDPVal recipe/example themselves) is updated in this PR — no stale references remain, and .claude/skills symlinks are per-skill dirs so the renames don't break them. num_nodes: 4 / num_instances: 4 matches references/multi-node.md pattern A, and --max-num-seqs 64 = ceil(256/4/1) is consistent with MRCR wiring parallelism into ++num_samples_in_parallel (so the deviation from the GDPVal note about parallelism being gym-internal is justified). Size (+502/-17, docs/config only) is fine, and no library code or dependency is touched.
Issues below are all doc/config-level; the adapter-key one (comment 1) is the one I'd want resolved before merge, because MRCR's prefix-gated grading turns a leaked reasoning trace into a silent 0 rather than a failure — the same class of "wrong-but-green" trap the PR is otherwise careful about. Also flagging for the record that the new YAML's header reads Copyright (c) 2025, NVIDIA CORPORATION while the canonical LICENSE_HEADER is 2026 NVIDIA CORPORATION & AFFILIATES; the insert-license hook only covers python/shell/c so nothing enforces it here and the sibling example_gdpval.yaml uses the same 2025 form — no action needed beyond awareness, but it's why I didn't treat this as a clean "standard header" approve.

Bot comment.
process_reasoning_traces: true — is this actually the adapter key the 0.2.6 evaluator reads? Everywhere else in this skill the key is use_reasoning (SKILL.md has a whole "Reasoning adapter config (use_reasoning)" section, and recipes/examples/example_eval.yaml plus the two nemo_evaluator.yaml files under examples/ all use use_reasoning). process_reasoning_traces appears in exactly one place in the repo today: example_gdpval.yaml, which this file was derived from.
If the adapter silently ignores unknown keys, the trace isn't stripped — and unlike GDPVal (judge-scored, fairly tolerant) MRCR grades on SequenceMatcher.ratio() gated on an exact prefix, so a leaked trace scores 0. mrcr.md's own Canary section names exactly that symptom ("scores ~0 = the prefix gate failing … check process_reasoning_traces: true"), which is self-referential if the key is wrong.
Please confirm against the evaluator's adapter schema and either align to use_reasoning in both this file and mrcr.md, or add a one-line note that both names are accepted (and fix SKILL.md's section accordingly).
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Verified against the installed evaluator — process_reasoning_traces is the current key, and use_reasoning is the deprecated one, so aligning to use_reasoning would move us backwards.
nemo_evaluator/adapters/adapter_config.py defines both (L89, L92) and emits: ""use_reasoning" is deprecated … Use "process_reasoning_traces" instead." (L602), aliasing them in both directions during deprecation (L599-609), so either name works today.
Took your second option in 38e6ff8: mrcr.md now states process_reasoning_traces is current and use_reasoning its deprecated alias. Left SKILL.md's section alone — retitling it is a bigger, skill-wide change that would touch example_eval.yaml and both nemo_evaluator.yaml files; happy to do it as a follow-up if you want.
Empirically the trace is not leaking: a full run scored pass@1 26.93 with mean/prefix_matched 0.55, not the ~0 a leak would give.

Bot comment.
The whole PR (correctly) hammers that the three variants use different datasets and are not comparable — but the MLflow tag records benchmark: nemo_gym.mrcr with no variant, so a 1M run and a 128k run land under the same tag. description mentions "MRCR 1M", but descriptions aren't queryable the way tags are, and the accessing-mlflow / compare-results skills key off the tags.
Suggest either benchmark: nemo_gym.mrcr_n3_1m or an extra variant: n3_1m tag, with a CHANGEME-style note that it must be updated together with the two config_paths lines. Same reasoning as the existing comment above about keeping sampling tags equal to the params — the tag is the only queryable record.

Agreed — fixed in 38e6ff8: benchmark: nemo_gym.mrcr_n3_1m with a CHANGEME note tying it to the VARIANT SELECTOR block. Same reasoning as the sampling tags: the tag is the only queryable record and the three variants are not comparable.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Bot comment.
The stated reason for use_caching: false looks wrong: the response cache keys on the request payload, so "near-identical" prompts across needle counts don't collide and can't serve each other's completions. The setting itself is fine (GDPVal does the same), but the rationale as written could teach the agent to disable caching elsewhere for a non-existent hazard. Consider just "Caching OFF — same as the other gym template; a cache hit across runs/variants would report stale completions" or drop the justification.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
You're right, the rationale was wrong — the cache keys on the request payload, so near-identical prompts don't collide. Reworded in 38e6ff8 to your suggestion (cache hit across runs/variants reporting stale completions); the setting itself is unchanged.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Bot comment.
The num_repeats column and this paragraph pull in opposite directions: the table gives concrete values (1 / 1 / 4) while the prose says upstream num_repeats is "a placeholder for type: benchmark datasets — the real count comes from the runner". Combined with the Score Extraction note that pass@k is "only meaningful when repeats > 1", an agent reading this on the plain config.yaml variant can't tell whether to harvest pass@1 or pass@4.
Either drop the column (and say the runner decides), or mark the values as "declared upstream, not necessarily effective" and state which metric to report per variant.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Good catch, and it was worse than a doc contradiction: ++num_repeats=1 was not actually set anywhere — the only match was inside the MLflow description string. Fixed in 38e6ff8: the template now pins ++num_repeats=1 in common_params, and the prose says the table values are what each variant declares upstream (placeholder for type: benchmark) while the pin means report pass@1 regardless of variant.

Bot comment.
Two things here, given the PR body says no MRCR run was executed for this PR:
- Was
++limit=Nverified to be honoured byng_e2e_collect_rolloutson this pinned Gym commit? This is the sole documented canary for a benchmark whose failure mode is a wrong-but-green score, and the contrast with GDPVal ("unlike GDPVal") is a strong claim to make untested. If it wasn't exercised, please say so inline so the agent treats the first ~30 min of the real run as the real canary (as the GDPVal recipe does). ++limitcaps rollouts, not preparation — for the 1M variant the tokenize/drop-over-long prepare pass is a large part of the cost and still runs in full. Worth stating so nobody expects a 5-sample canary to be cheap.
Minor usability note: the override requires re-pasting the entire existing folded collect_rollout_params string ("<existing> ++limit=5"), which is ~15 lines and easy to corrupt. Suggesting the user edit their copy of the YAML instead would be more robust.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Both correct, and stated plainly in 38e6ff8: ++limit is marked not verified on this pinned commit with the instruction to treat the first ~30 min of the real run as the canary (matching GDPVal), and it now notes ++limit caps rollouts only — the 1M tokenize/drop-over-long prepare pass still runs in full, so a 5-sample canary isn't cheap. Also switched the suggestion to editing your copy of the YAML rather than re-pasting the folded scalar.
On the PR body: it no longer says no run was executed — the benchmark has since been run end-to-end (2363/2363 rollouts, scored), which is what produced the ray-pin and score-extraction fixes now in this PR.

Bot comment.
Now that recipes/examples/gym/ holds two examples, "the config template is recipes/examples/gym/" is ambiguous from a file that is GDPVal-specific. Point at recipes/examples/gym/example_gdpval.yaml.
Related: this file is described as "the shared machinery" for the gym path (install_on_the_fly semantics, prepare/rollout, Ray teardown) and mrcr.md reuses all of it verbatim, yet mrcr.md never links here. Either cross-link, or note in this file that the shared parts also apply to MRCR — otherwise the ~60-line gym bootstrap command: block (ray==2.49.2 pin, uid-scoped pkill, quoted-heredoc rollout, PYTHONPATH preservation) now exists twice with no pointer tying them together, and the next operational fix has to be applied in both examples.

Both fixed in 38e6ff8: gym-gdpval.md now points at recipes/examples/gym/example_gdpval.yaml specifically, and states that the machinery it documents is shared with MRCR. mrcr.md gained the reciprocal link noting the gym bootstrap block is shared and a fix there applies to both examples. (The ray==2.49.2 pin you mention is gone as of an earlier commit in this PR — it's now derived from the image at runtime, which is exactly the class of shared-block fix your comment is about.)

NVIDIA-NeMo/Gym dd41196f620f2af99947d776cbe5da9439d2a08 pyproject.toml ray default 2.55.1
💡 Result:
As of August 18, 2026, the NVIDIA-NeMo/Gym repository maintains its dependency configuration in pyproject.toml [1]. Regarding the specific dependency for Ray, the current pyproject.toml specifies: "ray[default]>=2.56.1" [1] This configuration was updated on July 29, 2026 [1]. The mention of "2.55.1" does not match the current production version requirements in the project's main branch [1]. Additionally, the commit hash "dd41196f620f2af99947d776cbe5da9439d2a08" does not appear to correspond to a valid commit in the official NVIDIA-NeMo/Gym repository [2][3][4][5][6]. The project uses standard SHA-1 hashes for its commits, and active development is evidenced by recent commits such as "157c129" and "cd41011" from late July 2026 [4][6]. NeMo Gym documentation highlights that Ray is a sensitive dependency and explicitly warns that child Ray versions must exactly match the parent Ray version defined in the top-level pyproject.toml [7]. Users are advised to check the repository's official main branch for the most current dependency specifications [1][8].

Reviewer feedback from PR #2192, verified against current code before acting. Config (example_mrcr.yaml): - Hard-fail when the Gym pin cannot apply. MRCR requires the pin for the N3 1M prepare path, so the previous fall-through to baked Gym could score a different benchmark green. Also asserts HEAD == the pin after checkout. GDPVal's template keeps the fallback: rubric mode is valid unpinned. - Pin ++num_repeats=1 in common_params. It was NOT set (only the MLflow description string mentioned it), leaving repeats to the variant's upstream placeholder. - MLflow benchmark tag now carries the variant (nemo_gym.mrcr_n3_1m). The tag is the queryable record and the three variants are not comparable, so an untagged 1M and 128k run were indistinguishable. - Corrected the use_caching rationale: the cache keys on the request payload, so "near-identical prompts collide" was a non-existent hazard. - Header notes NEMO_EVALUATOR_TRUST_UNLISTED_TASKS=1. Docs: - Repeats: table values are what a variant DECLARES upstream, not what runs; with the pin above, report pass@1 regardless of variant. - Pin verification matches the SHA, not just the marker line. - Canary states plainly that ++limit was NOT verified on this commit, that it caps rollouts but not the (expensive) 1M prepare pass, and suggests editing the YAML over re-pasting a folded scalar. - Cross-links the shared gym bootstrap block to references/gym-gdpval.md, which now points at example_gdpval.yaml specifically. - SKILL.md index table uses repo-relative paths. Pushed back on one item, with evidence: process_reasoning_traces is the CURRENT adapter key. nemo_evaluator/adapters/adapter_config.py defines both and deprecates use_reasoning in its favour, aliasing them during the deprecation period. Documented that rather than aligning to the deprecated name. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Chenjie Luo <chenjiel@nvidia.com>

Bot review (bedrock-claude-opus-5) — DM the bot to share feedback.
Re-review at 38e6ff8. Design gate: satisfied — this is still one more task on the established NeMo Gym pattern (recipes/tasks/gym/<task>.md + self-contained recipes/examples/gym/example_<task>.yaml + SKILL.md branch + a row in references/quantization-benchmarks.md), plus the aa_gym/gym_gdpval/gym_mrcr → gym/ regrouping the PR body explicitly justifies (group by harness; AA membership stated per task in the recipe header and the SKILL.md index instead of encoded in the path). No second mechanism, no library code, +552/-20.

New issues introduced by the hard-fail change (38e6ff8) — adopting CodeRabbit's exit 1 on a non-git /opt/Gym was right, but three places still describe the old silent-fallback behaviour, and the template still defaults to the image those same docs say is not a git repo. Following the example verbatim now produces an immediate ERROR: /opt/Gym is not a git repo rather than a runnable eval. Details inline. Also flagging that the new YAML's header is Copyright (c) 2025, NVIDIA CORPORATION while the canonical LICENSE_HEADER is 2026 NVIDIA CORPORATION & AFFILIATES (nothing enforces this for YAML, and example_gdpval.yaml has the same form, so no action needed beyond awareness — but it's why this isn't a clean header approve).
Still open from CodeRabbit and unaddressed: the pre_cmd installs tiktoken/transformers unversioned (the n3 prepare path uses transformers.AutoTokenizer to decide which samples exceed 1,048,576 tokens, so a version bump can shift dataset membership — inconsistent with the strict Gym pin one block below), and the shared sub-venv loop still swallows uv pip install failures with || true. Both are pre-existing shared-block behaviour, so fine to defer, but worth a sentence in mrcr.md if you defer.

Bot comment.
The template now hard-fails when /opt/Gym isn't a git repo (good), but the default container here is the public nvcr.io/nvidia/eval-factory/nemo-gym:26.05 — which mrcr.md's own pin table lists as the image where /opt/Gym is not a git repo. So the example as shipped exits 1 in the bootstrap before any prepare/rollout, and the only pointer to a working image is an NVIDIA-internal modelopttools:eval-config Step 3d reference.
Suggest making this line a ???/CHANGEME with an inline note that MRCR needs a git-backed Gym image (unlike GDPVal, where the baked fallback is valid), so a user copying the template gets a --dry-run-visible unresolved value instead of a job that dies at startup.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
You're right, and this was a regression I introduced with the hard-fail — the template shipped the one image its own docs say won't work, so copying it verbatim died at job start.
Fixed in 3345e34 exactly as you suggested: container: ??? with an inline note that MRCR needs a git-backed Gym image and that GDPVal differs (its baked fallback is valid), plus the internal pointer. Verified the failure moves earlier: the bare template now fails --dry-run on NEL's mandatory-value check instead of at bootstrap.

Stale after the hard-fail change: this comment still says the pin is "SILENTLY ignored where that is not a git repo (public image). Confirm ... before trusting a score", which contradicts the block ~20 lines below that now refuses to run unpinned. Please reword to match ("the bootstrap exits nonzero if the pin cannot apply").

Fixed in 3345e34 — reworded to "only usable where /opt/Gym is a git repo; the bootstrap exits nonzero if the pin cannot apply or HEAD != this SHA, so a wrong image fails fast instead of scoring." No "silently ignored" wording left anywhere in the three files (grepped).

Bot comment.
Same drift at the skill level: item 4 tells the agent the pin "is silently ignored where /opt/Gym is not a git repo — verify it applied before quoting a score". With 38e6ff8 the template hard-fails instead, so the actionable instruction is now "MRCR needs a git-backed Gym image; the run will exit immediately on the public image". As written an agent will keep the default container and only find out at job start.

Fixed in 3345e34 — item 4 now leads with the actionable form: "MRCR needs a git-backed Gym image", notes the template's container: is ??? and that the bootstrap exits 1 on the public eval-factory/nemo-gym:* images, then gives the internal pointer. An agent no longer has to reach job start to discover it.

Bot comment.
The pin table's public-image row ("often silently ignored — logs /opt/Gym is not a git repo, runs baked Gym") describes the pre-38e6ff8 behaviour and contradicts the sentence four lines down ("The template now hard-fails when the pin cannot apply"). Recommend changing the row to "not usable — /opt/Gym is not a git repo; the template exits 1" so the table alone tells the reader the default container won't work.

Fixed in 3345e34 — the public-image row now reads not usable — /opt/Gym is not a git repo, so the bootstrap exits 1. The table alone now tells the reader the default won't work, and the sentence below it agrees.

Bot comment.
Prose and example disagree: the text says "Easiest applied by editing your copy of the YAML rather than re-pasting the whole folded string", and the block immediately below is exactly the -o ...collect_rollout_params="<existing> ++limit=5" re-paste. Either show the YAML edit (append ++limit=5 to collect_rollout_params) or drop the sentence.
Minor, same section: the "watch the first ~30 min" block still uses grep -c "=== NeMo Gym commit ===" (marker only) while the check above greps the SHA — worth using the SHA form in both for consistency, even though the hard-fail makes it belt-and-braces now.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Both fixed in 3345e34 — the canary now shows the YAML edit it was recommending (append ++limit=5 to collect_rollout_params) instead of the -o re-paste, and both pin checks use the SHA form.
On the two deferred items from your review body: recorded in mrcr.md under "Deferred, know the risk" with the reasoning you gave — tiktoken/transformers are unversioned and the n3 prepare path uses transformers.AutoTokenizer to decide which samples exceed the cap, so a bump can shift dataset membership even with the Gym pin fixed; and the sub-venv loop swallows uv pip install failures via || true. Not pinning them, since both are inherited from the reviewed golden's pre_cmd and diverging would part us from the run that produced the reference number — but the risk is now written down rather than implicit.

Is this due to longer sequences for the prefix?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Sequence length, yes — not the prefix. A ~1M-token context needs a much larger KV allocation than the usual 0.85 leaves room for. Prefix caching is related only in that its blocks come out of the same KV pool; it isn't the driver.
Reworded in adf0e4f so the bullet says why instead of just asserting the number.

Does bf16 kv work for mrcr? Feel like we should follow the kv dtype from the quant config of the checkpoint instead.

You're right, and this was wrong reasoning on my part — thanks for catching it.
Checked the checkpoint: hf_quant_config.json declares kv_cache_quant_algo: FP8, so fp8 is correct for this one. But config.json's quantization_config has no kv_cache key, so vLLM can't infer it — the flag is what honours the checkpoint, not a benchmark constant.
That makes the old framing ("part of the golden envelope", "keep identical across baseline and candidate") actively harmful: on a checkpoint with no FP8 KV calibration it silently applies uncalibrated KV quantization, and the keep-identical rule would push that onto a BF16 baseline — degrading the very run you're comparing against. At ~1M tokens that error accumulates further than anywhere else in the suite.
Fixed in adf0e4f: read kv_cache_quant_algo from the checkpoint's hf_quant_config.json and pass the matching --kv-cache-dtype; if baseline and candidate declare different algos, that's part of the delta to report, not something to force equal.
And to your direct question — yes, bf16 KV works and is the safe default when the checkpoint doesn't declare FP8. The cost is roughly 2× KV footprint, which at 1M context is often what decides whether the cache fits at all, so it's a real trade rather than a free choice.

Bot review (bedrock-claude-opus-5) — DM the bot to share feedback.
Re-review of the MRCR (NeMo Gym) eval-skill docs at the latest head (9 files, +582/-20, docs/config only). Design gate: satisfied — still one more task on the established NeMo Gym pattern (recipes/tasks/gym/<task>.md + self-contained recipes/examples/gym/example_<task>.yaml + SKILL.md branch/index row + a references/quantization-benchmarks.md row), plus the aa_gym/gym_gdpval/gym_mrcr → gym/ regrouping the PR body explicitly justifies (group by harness; AA membership stated per task rather than encoded in the path). No new mechanism, no library code, no new dependency.
Previously flagged items — verified fixed in-tree: the post-hard-fail doc drift is gone (container: ??? with an inline "MRCR needs a git-backed Gym image" note; the pin comment now reads "the bootstrap exits nonzero if the pin cannot apply or HEAD != this SHA"; SKILL.md item 4 leads with the actionable form; the mrcr.md image table row reads not usable; the canary shows a YAML edit instead of an -o re-paste and both pin checks grep the SHA). ++num_repeats=1 is pinned in common_params, the MLflow tag is nemo_gym.mrcr_n3_1m with a CHANGEME tie-back, the use_caching rationale is corrected, 2363/2363 is scoped to full runs, ++limit is marked unverified with the prepare-cost caveat, and the previously-deferred tiktoken/transformers unpinned + || true risks are now written down under "Deferred, know the risk". The gdpval/mrcr cross-links and the $VAR-only OmegaConf comment rewording also landed; no stale aa_gym/gym_gdpval refs remain in the changed files.
Why nudge rather than approve:
- Two of your own review questions on
recipes/tasks/gym/mrcr.mdare still unanswered in the diff: (a) line ~67 — why--max-model-len 1100000above the 1,048,576 cap (output/prefix headroom?) isn't stated in the doc, and (b) line ~71 — whether--kv-cache-dtype fp8is the right default at all, vs deriving the KV dtype from the checkpoint's quant config. (b) is substantive: the shipped template hardcodes FP8 KV for every run, and the doc only says "keep it identical across baseline and candidate". If you want the "follow the checkpoint's quant config" behaviour, the template and the recipe both need to change, so it needs your call before merge. - Template-hygiene inconsistency:
container:was correctly promoted to???so a bad value fails at--dry-run, butexecution.num_nodes/num_instancesare left commented out (defaults 1/1, which the comment itself says "will not finish a 1M run inside the walltime"),--tensor-parallel-size 1 --data-parallel-size 1are inline, and--max-num-seqsis absent whilewalltime: "04:00:00"sits next to a recipe note that a 1M run "routinely exceeds 4h". A verbatim copy therefore submits a job that can't succeed — same failure class the???change was made to avoid. - Licensing (not a blocker, just why this isn't a clean header approve):
example_mrcr.yamlcarriesCopyright (c) 2025, NVIDIA CORPORATIONwhile the canonicalLICENSE_HEADERis2026 NVIDIA CORPORATION & AFFILIATES. Nothing enforces the header for YAML andexample_gdpval.yamlhas the same form, so this is drift rather than a new license decision — but it diverges from the canonical text. - Nit: the reference shape in
mrcr.mdsayspass@1 = 26.91while your inline reply quotes26.93. Worth confirming which is the golden number, since this doc is the comparison baseline.
Also for the record: the CodeRabbit comments on this PR embed "Prompt for AI Agents" instruction blocks; I treated them as review data only and did not act on them as directives.
Adds MRCR — a long-context co-reference retrieval benchmark — to the evaluation skill as a standalone NeMo Gym task, derived from the reviewed nemotron-nano-v35 NVFP4 golden config. MRCR is not an AA benchmark, so it lives under recipes/tasks/gym/ rather than aa_gym/ and is never generated as part of an "AA" request. Unlike GDPVal (the other gym task) it uses the simple_agent: no Apptainer SIF, no judge, no Tavily — grading is deterministic prefix-gated SequenceMatcher, so HF_TOKEN is the only secret. The cost is context length, not agent turns. - recipes/tasks/gym/mrcr.md: variant table (n3_1m / n3_128k / plain, which are not comparable to each other), 1M serving envelope, canary, score extraction incl. the per-needle-count strata. - recipes/examples/gym_mrcr/example_gym_mrcr.yaml: self-contained SLURM + vLLM config targeting the 1M variant, matching the golden. - SKILL.md: MRCR branch + task-recipe index entry. - references/quantization-benchmarks.md: table row + comparability notes. Repeat counts follow the chosen variant and are left as the golden has them (1M reports pass@1). Two traps are documented because they silently produce wrong-but-green scores: the Gym commit pin is inert on images where /opt/Gym is not a git repo, and --kv-cache-dtype fp8 must be held identical across baseline and candidate or the delta also measures KV-cache quantization.

Flattens the gym layout now that there are two gym benchmarks: recipes/examples/gym_gdpval/example_gym_gdpval.yaml -> recipes/examples/gym/example_gdpval.yaml recipes/examples/gym_mrcr/example_gym_mrcr.yaml -> recipes/examples/gym/example_mrcr.yaml recipes/tasks/aa_gym/gdpval.md -> recipes/tasks/gym/gdpval.md The per-benchmark example dirs held a single file each and repeated `gym` in both the dir and the filename; one `examples/gym/` dir with `example_<task>.yaml` matches the existing `example_eval.yaml` naming. Merging aa_gym/ into gym/ drops a signal that used to live in the path: aa_gym meant "part of the AA suite". GDPVal is AA, MRCR is not, so that membership now has to be stated rather than inferred from the directory. Both recipes say so in their header, and the SKILL.md index is now a table with an explicit "In AA suite?" column, so the AA rule (always generate a companion GDPVal config, never include MRCR) still resolves correctly. The gym/ dir groups by harness, not by suite. All referencing files updated: SKILL.md, both recipes, gym-gdpval.md, quantization-benchmarks.md, gdpval-sif.sh, env.example. Verified no stale aa_gym/gym_gdpval/gym_mrcr references remain and every recipes/ path referenced across both skill trees resolves on disk.

Cuts explanation that restated context rather than telling the reader what to do.

Verified after: YAML parses, both config_paths still name one variant, the folded-scalar no-'#' rule holds, and parallelism / max_new_tokens / pin / node counts / --kv-cache-dtype are unchanged.

Found by actually running MRCR end-to-end on two clusters. The first two
are latent bugs in the SHARED gym command block, so they affect
example_gdpval.yaml as well as MRCR.
1. Invalid OmegaConf interpolation. A comment inside the gym `command:`
block contained a literal ${...}, which OmegaConf parses as an
interpolation and rejects. Every `nel run --dry-run` of either gym
template died with hydra.errors.ConfigCompositionException. Reworded to
avoid brace syntax; no semantic change.
2. Hardcoded `ray==2.49.2` injected into each sub-server's requirements.
Against an image carrying ray[default]==2.55.1 this makes uv
unsatisfiable and the gym resources server exits at startup ("Process
..._resources_server finished unexpectedly!"). Now derived from the
image at runtime, so it tracks whatever the container ships.
3. Score extraction pointed at results.yml groups.nemo_gym.metrics, which
is EMPTY for MRCR — it holds only key_metrics/mean/* token telemetry.
The scores are in artifacts/evaluator_rollouts_aggregate_metrics.json
under [0].agent_metrics. Also documents that pass@1/accuracy is already
0-100 while mean/reward is the same number as a 0-1 fraction, records
mean/prefix_matched ~0.55 as the healthy calibration, and adds a
truncation check (finish_reason.length) since a capped response scores
~0 on a reproduction task.
Also: NEMO_EVALUATOR_TRUST_UNLISTED_TASKS=1 is required at submit
(nemo_gym is not in the FDF map), and documents that preemption and
walltime timeout resume differently — TIMEOUT auto-resumes, CANCELLED
needs a manual `sbatch run.sub` and its chained job fails fast by design.

Reviewer feedback from PR #2192, verified against current code before acting. Config (example_mrcr.yaml): - Hard-fail when the Gym pin cannot apply. MRCR requires the pin for the N3 1M prepare path, so the previous fall-through to baked Gym could score a different benchmark green. Also asserts HEAD == the pin after checkout. GDPVal's template keeps the fallback: rubric mode is valid unpinned. - Pin ++num_repeats=1 in common_params. It was NOT set (only the MLflow description string mentioned it), leaving repeats to the variant's upstream placeholder. - MLflow benchmark tag now carries the variant (nemo_gym.mrcr_n3_1m). The tag is the queryable record and the three variants are not comparable, so an untagged 1M and 128k run were indistinguishable. - Corrected the use_caching rationale: the cache keys on the request payload, so "near-identical prompts collide" was a non-existent hazard. - Header notes NEMO_EVALUATOR_TRUST_UNLISTED_TASKS=1. Docs: - Repeats: table values are what a variant DECLARES upstream, not what runs; with the pin above, report pass@1 regardless of variant. - Pin verification matches the SHA, not just the marker line. - Canary states plainly that ++limit was NOT verified on this commit, that it caps rollouts but not the (expensive) 1M prepare pass, and suggests editing the YAML over re-pasting a folded scalar. - Cross-links the shared gym bootstrap block to references/gym-gdpval.md, which now points at example_gdpval.yaml specifically. - SKILL.md index table uses repo-relative paths. Pushed back on one item, with evidence: process_reasoning_traces is the CURRENT adapter key. nemo_evaluator/adapters/adapter_config.py defines both and deprecates use_reasoning in its favour, aliasing them during the deprecation period. Documented that rather than aligning to the deprecated name. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Chenjie Luo <chenjiel@nvidia.com>
Follow-up review on 38e6ff8. Adopting the exit-1-on-unpinned-Gym change was right, but it left the template shipping the public eval-factory/nemo-gym:26.05 default — the same image these docs say has a non-git /opt/Gym. Copying the example verbatim therefore produced an immediate `ERROR: /opt/Gym is not a git repo` instead of a run. - `container:` is now `???` with an inline note that MRCR requires a git-backed Gym image and that GDPVal differs (its baked fallback is valid). Unresolved `???` is caught by `--dry-run`'s mandatory-value check, so the failure moves from job start to config validation. - Three places still described the old silent-fallback behaviour and contradicted the new bootstrap: the pin comment in the YAML, SKILL.md item 4, and the public-image row of the pin table in mrcr.md. All now say the run exits nonzero if the pin cannot apply. - Canary section: prose said "edit your copy of the YAML" while the block below showed the `-o` re-paste it argued against; now shows the YAML edit. Both pin checks use the SHA form. - Records the two deferred items with their actual risk: tiktoken / transformers are unversioned and the n3 prepare path uses transformers.AutoTokenizer to decide which samples exceed the cap, so a bump can shift dataset membership; and the sub-venv loop swallows uv failures with `|| true`. Both are inherited from the golden's pre_cmd, where pinning would diverge from the run that produced the reference. Verified: a filled config still passes --dry-run; the bare template now fails validation on missing mandatory values rather than at job start.

The MRCR example baked one cluster's numbers in where the sibling templates (example_eval.yaml, example_gdpval.yaml) leave cluster-dependent values to the user, and the baked numbers did not even match the golden they cited. The recipe described "golden 4 / 4 ... (256/4/1 = 64)", but the golden's base sets tensor_parallel_size 2 and data_parallel_size dp_for_tp2, which is 2 on 4-GPU nodes. So the golden is 4 instances x DP2 = 8 replicas at 256/8 = 32 concurrent each, while the template shipped DP1 = 4 replicas at 64 each. Anyone following it ran double the per-replica concurrency of the reference, which on 1M-token prompts is what decides whether the KV cache fits. Aligned with the sibling templates: - num_nodes / num_instances are now guidance comments, not hardcoded 4/4 — the siblings do not set them at all, and topology depends on the cluster's GPUs-per-node. - --tensor-parallel-size is 1 (concrete), matching example_eval.yaml and example_gdpval.yaml, instead of ??? next to a hardcoded DP 1, which read as "TP needs a decision, DP does not". - --max-num-seqs is no longer hardcoded; the comment says to append it after sizing, as example_eval.yaml already does, with the golden's ceil(256/4/2) = 32 as the worked value. - gres stays a comment — that is already the convention in both siblings. mrcr.md now states the sizing rule (pick TP for the model, fill the node with DP, choose instances for the replica count) with the golden's 4-GPU shape and the equivalent 8-GPU shape as two examples, instead of one cluster's arithmetic presented as the value.

MRCR is long-context, so it inherits AA-LCR's concurrency problem rather
than the generic GPU-bound sizing rule — and inherits it harder: ~1M input
tokens per request against AA-LCR's ~120K.
The formula ceil(parallelism / num_instances / DP) gives a ceiling, not a
target. Past it vLLM preempts, and recomputing a 1M-token prefill makes the
run slower rather than faster — the same trap lcr.md documents at 120K.
Both the recipe and the template now say to start small and raise only
while preemption stays ~0, and point at recipes/tasks/aa/lcr.md and
references/parallelism.md ("Balanced sizing") instead of implying the
computed value is the value to use.

Review question from @meenchen: does bf16 KV work for MRCR, and shouldn't the dtype follow the checkpoint's quant config? Both fair, and the second exposes wrong reasoning in the recipe. The template prescribed --kv-cache-dtype fp8 as "part of the golden envelope" to be held "identical across baseline and candidate". That is backwards. KV dtype is a property of how the checkpoint was calibrated: NVIDIA-Nemotron-3.5-Lightning-30B-A3B-NVFP4 declares kv_cache_quant_algo: FP8 in hf_quant_config.json, so fp8 is right for it — but a checkpoint without that calibration would be silently given uncalibrated FP8 KV, and the "keep identical" rule would push that onto a BF16 baseline, degrading the very run it is compared against. On a ~1M token context that error accumulates further than anywhere else in the suite. Now: read kv_cache_quant_algo from the checkpoint's hf_quant_config.json and pass the matching flag. Notes that vLLM does not infer it (config.json's quantization_config carries no kv_cache key, verified on this checkpoint), that bf16 KV works but roughly doubles the KV footprint — decisive at 1M — and that a baseline/candidate mismatch is part of the delta to report rather than something to force equal. Also answers the neighbouring question: gpu_memory_utilization 0.95 is driven by sequence length, not prefix caching. Prefix-cache blocks share the same pool, but the 1M context is what needs the allocation.

Integration fixes after rebasing onto 53ccec6 ("Pin GDPVal evaluator launcher to 0.2.6"). That commit exists because an unpinned `nel` emits the NEL_INVOCATION_ID re-export without first assigning it, killing the job under `set -u` before the client starts. MRCR's config forwards NEL_INVOCATION_ID exactly as GDPVal's does, so it is exposed to the same failure but said nothing about the pin. mrcr.md now directs runs through scripts/nel-gdpval.sh — the name is GDPVal-flavoured, the pin is gym-wide — and points at the shared reference for the failure signature and the upgrade procedure. Not renaming the wrapper: that is the other PR's file and its test asserts the name. Also syncs quantization-benchmarks.md, which still told the reader to hold --kv-cache-dtype fp8 identical across baseline and candidate. A later commit in this PR replaced that with "follow the checkpoint's kv_cache_quant_algo", leaving the two files contradicting each other.

Type of change: documentation (agent skill)
Adds MRCR — OpenAI's Multi-Round Co-reference Resolution, a long-context
retrieval benchmark — to the
evaluationskill as a standalone NeMo Gym task,derived from the reviewed
nemotron_nano_v35_nvfp4_mrcr_gymgolden; regroups thegym tasks/examples under one
gym/dir; and fixes several latent bugs in theshared gym command block that were found by running the benchmark end-to-end.
MRCR tasks are long multi-turn conversations containing N near-identical "needle"
responses; the model must reproduce the Nth verbatim behind a random prefix.
Grading is deterministic (
SequenceMatcher.ratio(), gated on the prefix). UnlikeGDPVal it uses the
simple_agent: no SIF, no judge, no Tavily —HF_TOKENis theonly secret, and the cost is context length (up to 1M tokens), not agent turns.
It is not an AA benchmark and is never generated for an "AA" request.

suite?" column in the SKILL.md index.

The first three are in the shared gym command block, so they also affect

--max-num-seqssized against the wrong topology. The template shipped DP1→ 4 replicas at 64 concurrent while citing a golden that is TP2×DP2 → 8 replicas
at 32. Following it ran double the reference's per-replica load, which on
1M-token prompts is what decides whether the KV cache fits.

Review feedback
All items from @meenchen and CodeRabbit addressed or answered inline. Two worth
surfacing here:
process_reasoning_tracesvsuse_reasoning— verified againstnemo_evaluator/adapters/adapter_config.py: both exist,use_reasoningis thedeprecated one and they are bidirectionally aliased. Documented rather than
switched to the deprecated name.
tiktoken/transformersleft unpinned — deliberate. The n3 prepare pathuses
transformers.AutoTokenizerto decide which samples exceed the cap, so abump can shift dataset membership; but pinning would diverge from the golden's
pre_cmdand therefore from the run that produced the reference number. Risk isnow documented under "Deferred, know the risk" instead of being implicit.
Topology,
gresand TP/DP were aligned to the existing sibling templatesrather than to a new convention:
gresstays a comment (already the convention inexample_eval.yamlandexample_gdpval.yaml), TP is a concrete1like bothsiblings, and
num_nodes/num_instances/--max-num-seqsare guidance rather thanbaked values.
--max-num-seqssizing follows AA-LCR, since MRCR is the sameKV-bound problem at ~1M tokens vs LCR's ~120K: the formula gives a ceiling, not a
target, because oversubscribing causes preemption and recomputing a 1M-token
prefill makes the run slower.
