`qwen/qwen2.5-vl-72b-instruct` behavioral LLM fingerprint

This page breaks down the exact reference that VerifyLLMAPI uses for qwen/qwen2.5-vl-72b-instruct: 117 normalized answers across eight low-entropy probes, plus its nearest enrolled models by mean Jensen–Shannon divergence.

Fingerprint summary

Reference answers: 117
Samples per cell: 14–15
Nearest model: ai21/jamba-large-1.7
Nearest mean JSD: 0.651715

The most concentrated cell was color-random|zh: blue held 53.3% of its answers and entropy measured 1.273 bits. The broadest cell was animal-random|ru at 3.507 bits.

Against the closest enrolled model, letter-random|zh contributed the largest cell distance at JSD 1.000000. This is a descriptive comparison, not proof that either API route serves a named checkpoint.

Completeness: the author dataset allows up to 15 valid answers per selected cell in reference half A. This model contains 117/120 across the eight cells. We show the actual denominator for every share.

The eight test requests

The research pipeline sent each user prompt with a one-answer system constraint, temperature 1, a 16-token output cap, and reasoning disabled. VerifyLLMAPI uses the same prompt text and normalization target.

Three nearest enrolled references

We compute base-2 JSD for each of the eight categorical distributions, then average the eight distances. A lower value means more similar answer frequencies within this product reference. It does not identify an unknown route by itself.

Rank	Reference model	Mean 8-cell JSD
1	`ai21/jamba-large-1.7`	0.651715
2	`google/gemma-2-27b-it`	0.685703
3	`minimax/minimax-01`	0.687480

How many live requests does verification use?

Profile	Cells × samples	Fresh model requests	Same-data EER
Quick, default complete check	4 × 5	20	11.8%
Standard	8 × 5	40	8.1%
Paper budget	8 × 15	120	6.7%

The current-Agent workflow starts with quick. Each answer comes from a fresh Codex or Claude Code process that reuses host-managed login. These requests can consume host allowance or provider balance.

What this fingerprint can and cannot show

The reference records behavior observed through OpenRouter in the author dataset. Provider wrappers, model updates, decoding, and date can move a distribution.
The author collection set temperature 1 and disabled reasoning. Current-Agent mode labels sampling as a host default because supported Agent CLIs expose no temperature flag.
The eight high-gap cells and product thresholds use the same public cohort. Their EER values are calibration results, not an independent production accuracy claim.
A nearest reference is a similarity result. VerifyLLMAPI returns INCONCLUSIVE when the claimed route lacks an enrolled fingerprint.
