Answer first
A real ModelBreeder lab should expose small, composable commands that write file-backed evidence. The commands should use UTC timestamps, deterministic seeds, artifact digests, and positive fitness language.
Suggested commands
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
slm_manifest | Read or write model package metadata. |
slm_validate | Verify tensor layout, tokenizer identity, adapter compatibility, and checksums. |
slm_fitness | Run evaluation cases and write a FitnessVector report. |
slm_novelty | Compare behavior descriptors against the archive. |
slm_merge | Plan or execute compatible multi-parent merge recipes. |
slm_release | Build a release packet with rollback target and next action. |
Example
COMMAND slm_fitness \
--model ./registry/models/legal-summary-v4.slm \
--cases ./eval/legal-summary.cases \
--fitness-report ./registry/evidence/legal-summary-v4.fitness.json \
--created-at-utc 2026-06-28T00:00:00ZNaming rule
Use terms like fitness-report, evaluation-scope, next-action, candidate, champion, and specialist. Keep warning-heavy terms out of the main lab interface. The extended negative case belongs on Cognivirus.com.
