The Machine Improves Itself — Closed-Loop RLVR on a DGX Spark, Where the Eval Harness Is the Reward
Closed-loop RLVR on one box: an eval→reward→fine-tune loop where the Spark's own verifiers ARE the reward — no learned reward model. The hero finding is defensive: pick the checkpoint on a frozen held-out split, never the training pool, or the loop reports success while it regresses.

The Gate Before the GPU — Deciding SFT vs RL vs RLVR Before You Spend the Run
Building Kepler — a numeric astrodynamics reasoner — from scratch on one Spark. The method choice (SFT vs RL vs RLVR) is decided by cheap gates before any GPU run: a base preflight, an SFT gate, and a Goldilocks headroom gate. A flawless RLVR run that changed nothing is the proof.

Adaptive Turn Clipping on a Single Spark — A²TGPO, Studied from Source
A²TGPO redesigns how Information Gain feeds GRPO: turn-group normalization, variance-rescaled accumulation, and adaptive turn-level clipping. The paper's release is the code; the Spark's contribution is the lineage primitive that records what each trial learned.

SkillOS: Learning Skill Curation for Self-Evolving Agents — Spark reproduction notes
Reproducing the SkillOS curator/executor split on a DGX Spark — both Qwen3-8B (frozen executor + LoRA-trained curator) over a markdown SkillRepo with BM25 retrieval, then extracting the pattern into `fieldkit.skills`.
