What does this PR do?

Type of change: documentation (agent skill)

Adds MRCR — OpenAI's Multi-Round Co-reference Resolution, a long-context
retrieval benchmark — to the evaluation skill as a standalone NeMo Gym task,
derived from the reviewed nemotron_nano_v35_nvfp4_mrcr_gym golden config, then
regroups the gym tasks/examples under one gym/ dir.

Each MRCR task is a long synthetic multi-turn conversation containing N
near-identical "needle" responses; the model must reproduce the Nth occurrence
verbatim behind a random prefix. Grading is deterministic —
SequenceMatcher.ratio(), gated on the response starting with the required
prefix. Unlike GDPVal — the other gym task — it uses the simple_agent: no
Apptainer SIF, no LLM judge, no Tavily, so HF_TOKEN is the only secret. The
cost is context length (up to 1M tokens), not agent turns.

MRCR is not an AA benchmark and is never generated for an "AA" request.

Commits

1. docs(eval-skill) — add MRCR

File
recipes/tasks/gym/mrcr.md new recipe — variant table, 1M serving envelope, canary, score extraction
recipes/examples/gym/example_mrcr.yaml new self-contained SLURM + vLLM config (1M variant, matching the golden)
SKILL.md MRCR branch + task-recipe index
references/quantization-benchmarks.md table row + quant-comparability notes

Two traps are called out because both produce wrong-but-green scores rather
than failures:

  1. The Gym commit pin can be silently inert. install_on_the_fly applies it
    via git checkout inside /opt/Gym, which only works if that is a git repo.
    Where it isn't, the run logs /opt/Gym is not a git repo and uses the baked
    Gym. This matters more for MRCR than GDPVal: the golden's pin (a431501a) is
    newer than the Gym baked into the public image and carries the N3 1M
    preparation path config_n3_1m.yaml depends on. The recipe gives the greps.
  2. --kv-cache-dtype fp8 is part of the golden's 1M serving envelope and is
    itself a precision choice — hold it identical across baseline and candidate,
    or the delta also measures KV-cache quantization.

Repeat counts follow the chosen upstream variant and are left as the golden has
them (1M reports pass@1). The three variants (config_n3_1m / config_n3_128k
/ plain) use different datasets and are not comparable to each other; the
variant must be set in both data_prep_params and collect_rollout_params.

2. refactor(eval-skill) — group gym under gym/

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 one file each and repeated gym in both dir
and filename; examples/gym/example_<task>.yaml matches the existing
example_eval.yaml naming. All three are tracked as git renames.

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 is now stated rather than inferred — both recipes say it in their
header, and the SKILL.md index is a table with an explicit "In AA suite?" column.
The AA rule (always generate a companion GDPVal config; never include MRCR) still
resolves. gym/ groups by harness, not by suite.

3. docs(eval-skill) — compress

mrcr.md 225 → 148, example_mrcr.yaml 318 → 293, SKILL.md branch 28 → 20,
quantization-benchmarks bullet 11 → 8. Removed explanation that restated context
rather than directing action (the GDPVal-vs-MRCR comparison table, the Gym-pin
narrative, greps duplicated between two sections, YAML comments repeating the
recipe). No behavioural content dropped — every trap, path, metric name and value
is still stated, once. mrcr.md shows as an 89% rewrite, so read it as the new
file rather than line-by-line.

Usage

# Start from the self-contained template (read recipes/tasks/gym/mrcr.md first)
cp plugins/modelopt/skills/evaluation/recipes/examples/gym/example_mrcr.yaml mrcr.yaml
# Fill checkpoint_path / served_model_name / SLURM ??? values.
# .env needs HF_TOKEN (gated dataset + gated tokenizer), plus:
export NEMO_EVALUATOR_TRUST_PRE_CMD=1   # the config has a pre_cmd
nel run --config mrcr.yaml --dry-run
nel run --config mrcr.yaml

Headline metric (1M variant), reported alongside the per-needle-count strata:

mrcr_n3_1m_benchmark_simple_agent/pass@1/accuracy
mrcr_n3_1m_benchmark_simple_agent/n_needles={2,4,8}/pass@1/accuracy

Testing

Docs/config-only; no library code touched. What I ran:

  • pre-commit run --files <changed> — clean on all three commits.
  • Parsed both gym example YAMLs with yaml.safe_load and asserted the skill's
    folded-scalar rule (no # inside >- blocks, which would comment out every
    override after it).
  • Verified MRCR's variant reference is identical in data_prep_params and
    collect_rollout_params (a mismatch prepares one dataset and rolls out another).
  • After the rename: zero stale aa_gym / gym_gdpval / gym_mrcr references
    remain, and every recipes/** path referenced across both skill trees resolves
    on disk. That check caught env.example, which an extension-filtered grep had
    missed. The nemo_gym_gdpval_stirrup_agent metric names contain the substring
    gym_gdpval and were deliberately left untouched.
  • After the compression: re-parsed the YAML and confirmed parallelism,
    max_new_tokens, the Gym pin, node/instance counts and --kv-cache-dtype fp8
    are unchanged.
  • Confirmed the .claude/ and .agents/ symlink trees expose the new layout.

No MRCR evaluation was executed as part of this PR. The numbers quoted in the
recipe as a shape/sanity reference are the reviewed golden's BF16 sign-off run
(pass@1 = 26.91; 2/4/8 needles = 36.81 / 27.12 / 16.74; 2363/2363 rollouts), not
a run performed here.

Before your PR is "Ready for review"

  • Is this change backward compatible?: ✅ — additive plus an internal doc-tree
    rename; no config semantics change. All referencing files updated and verified.
  • If you copied code from any other sources or added a new PIP dependency, did
    you follow guidance in CONTRIBUTING.md: N/A — no code or dependency added.
  • Did you write any new necessary tests?: N/A — agent-skill documentation.
  • Did you update Changelog?: N/A — skill/docs change, not a library feature,
    backward-breaking change, deprecation, or critical-bug fix. Consistent with
    prior skill-only commits, which do not touch CHANGELOG.rst.
  • Did you get Claude approval on this PR?: ❌ not yet — will trigger
    /claude review on the PR.

Additional Information

Upstream drift worth flagging to reviewers, found while deriving this (no change
made to that repo
): in nvidia-eval-factory-benchmarking,
configs/benchmarks/mrcr/bench.yaml is still written in the old ng_* style
(data_prep_params / collect_rollout_params / common_params), while the model
base configs/models/nemotron_nano_v35/gym.yaml was refactored on 2026-07-29 to
the gym eval CLI (benchmark / prepare_args / run_args). RULER was migrated,
MRCR was not, so the two layers no longer compose. This template follows the old
ng_* style — which is what MRCR's own bench.yaml specifies, what the sign-off
run actually executed, and what the skill's existing GDPVal template already uses.

NVIDIA-internal companion (container specifics, kept out of this public tree):
Model-Optimizer-Internal MR !116.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a standalone MRCR evaluation guide and recipe with long-context testing, variant selection, deterministic grading, multi-instance execution, and per-needle reporting.
    • Added configuration for 1M-token MRCR evaluations, including rollout collection, caching, authentication, and results export.
  • Documentation

    • Updated GDPVal guidance, examples, and references to use the current Gym layout and corrected configuration paths.
    • Clarified the relationship between GDPVal, MRCR, and the AA evaluation suite.
    • Documented MRCR requirements, setup, scoring, and result interpretation.

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.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 268ee

The PR adds runnable MRCR evaluation documentation, but the current instructions can still produce misleading or non-comparable scores because the required Gym revision and repeat count are not enforced. Canary-count and task-path guidance also need clarification, so merge should wait for these bounded documentation/config fixes.

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.

Fail when the required Gym commit cannot apply.

Lines 207-214 continue with the baked Gym when /opt/Gym is not a Git repository. The configuration states that the pinned commit is required for the N3 1M preparation path. This fallback can complete and report scores for a different benchmark. Exit nonzero instead.

@kevalmorabia97
kevalmorabia97 requested review from shengliangxu and removed request for kevalmorabia97 August 14, 2026 09:05
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.

Use one path base in the task table.

The surrounding instructions use recipes/tasks/gym/... and recipes/examples/gym/..., but these table entries omit recipes/. Use repository-relative paths consistently, or state that table paths are relative to the recipes directory.

The n3 variants drop over-long samples, so all three are different datasets and
**not comparable to each other**. Pick one, keep it fixed across baseline and
candidate, and set it in **both** `data_prep_params` and `collect_rollout_params`
— changing one prepares one dataset and rolls out another.

`num_repeats` comes from the variant; the template does not override it (1M
reports `pass@1`). Upstream it is a placeholder for `type: benchmark` datasets —
the real count comes from the runner. **Do not change repeat counts when aligning
to a golden.**

Set ++num_repeats=1 in collect_rollout_params.

The example does not configure the runner repeat count. The MLflow description is metadata only. The pinned README runs the N3 1M variant with --num-repeats 4, while this guide extracts pass@1. Without an explicit override, the run is not fixed to the documented golden count.

Check the expected Gym commit, not only the marker.

These commands count === NeMo Gym commit ===, but they do not verify that the logged SHA is a431501a. A stale checkout can therefore pass the “applied” check and produce a non-comparable score. Match the expected SHA in both the full-run and canary checks, and fail when it is absent.

Also applies to: 108-113

Reference shape (reviewed golden, BF16 Nano 3.5, 1M): `pass@1 = 26.91` (2/4/8
needles = 36.81 / 27.12 / 16.74), 2363/2363 rollouts, parallelism 256, 4 nodes /

Scope the rollout-count check to full runs.

The canary command intentionally uses ++limit=5, so a canary run will have fewer than 2363 rollouts. State that the 2363/2363 check applies only to an uncapped full 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).

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.

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.

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.

Bot comment.

Two things here, given the PR body says no MRCR run was executed for this PR:

  1. Was ++limit=N verified to be honoured by ng_e2e_collect_rollouts on 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).
  2. ++limit caps 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.

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.
