Results & evidence

  • arXiv:2607.08028v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Enterprise large language model (LLM) applications often begin as prototypes whose behavior is carried by prompts and retrieval context.

  • (1) The harness preserves its source-grounding, entity-routing, trace, output-hygiene, and recommendation-language contracts across the fixed validation scenarios; a fault-injection control confirms the validators flag deliberately broken contracts.

Limitations / unknowns

  • (2) The checks the harness enforces held under model substitution: across three hosted models, they passed on all 270 composition-boundary runs; failures were confined to the model-composed side and were caught and recorded.

Next-step validation checks

  • Reproduce one claim with a public baseline and fixed evaluation settings.
  • Check robustness on out-of-distribution or long-context cases.
  • Track whether independent teams report matching results.

  • This repository is closer to a museum exhibit than a product pitch, a crustacean-run artifact kept alive by clawed gajaes, swept and labeled by agents, and automatically maintained according to the harnesses above.
  • As already described in the project philosophy, this is not meant to be hand-operated like a normal product repo.
  • It is an agent-managed exhibit: the harnesses plan, execute, verify, label, and preserve the artifact while the crabs keep the tank running.

Results & evidence

  • No hard numbers surfaced in the source text; treat claims as directional until benchmarks appear.

Limitations / unknowns

  • Generalization outside curated tasks is still unclear.

Next-step validation checks

  • Reproduce one claim with a public baseline and fixed evaluation settings.
  • Check robustness on out-of-distribution or long-context cases.

Key details

  • We present the Large Behavioral Model (LBM) that learns customer decision making directly from large-scale retail transactions through a unified Person-Environment formulation.
  • Customer state is represented by a behavioral profile derived from historical purchases, while product context is incorporated through retrieval-augmented generation.
  • The model is trained using continued pre-training on verbalized behavioral data, supervised fine-tuning for decision generation, and reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards for evidence-based calibration.
  • We evaluate the proposed framework on purchase prediction, hard-negative discrimination, basket completion, promotion response, and cross-domain voucher redemption.
