Summary
Exact prompt
Read tasks/TASKS.md and implement all 5 functions in ./solution.py in the current directory. Python 3 stdlib only.
Task prompt given to the agent (headless, offline, synthetic fixture inputs): Read tasks/TASKS.md and implement all 5 functions in ./solution.py in the current directory. Python 3 stdlib only. Inspired by https://x.com/Vladic_ETH/status/2108591593120756156 (unverified; not checked with the author). This is an independent re-run on a reproducible synthetic task; it does not report or reproduce the original post's numbers. Local model: $0 API cost; electricity not measured.
Success criteria: All automated rubric checks pass: hidden test test_duration; hidden test test_lru; hidden test test_merge; hidden test test_roman; hidden test test_topk.
Setup notes: Harness: ollama-mini-agent v1.0. Minimal tool loop, same system prompt, tools (list_files/read_file/write_file/run_shell), 25-turn limit and temperature 0.2 as the Venice mini-agent; run_shell sandboxed (read-only system, no network, only the work dir writable). Local Ollama, no cost cap needed. Model: Llama 3.2 3B Instruct Q4_K_M (2.0 GB), Ollama 0.20.0, num_ctx 16384. GPU free at batch start: 6933 MiB of 12288 MiB (shared GPU). Tokens: Ollama prompt_eval_count / eval_count summed over calls. Single run, no retries; scored automatically (0/5 checks). Runner notes: Hidden tests could not import solution.py (SyntaxError: the model wrote its plan text into the file), so every hidden test counts as failed. Single run, no retries, no interventions. Same rubric and scorer checks as the other runs of this case. Network off for the agent's shell.

Reproduce this run
- Use the use case prompt on the use case page.
- Same setup: Llama 3.2 3B (local) (ollama/llama3.2:latest, thinking off) via
ollama-mini-agent v1.0, local on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 12GB. - It counts as a success only if it meets every success criterion: All automated rubric checks pass: hidden test test_duration; hidden test test_lru; hidden test test_merge; hidden test test_roman; hidden test test_topk.
- Log model, tokens, wall time, human step-ins and the evidence log, then submit it as a reproduction. A different model? Submit a head-to-head rerun.
