# DocWain-14B-v2

Owner: **Muthu** (`muthugsubramanian`).
Last updated: **2026-04-28** (UAT Phase 01 alignment).

## Model Summary
DocWain is a 14B-parameter unified document-intelligence model
**by DHS IT Solutions**. The weights and identity are baked into a single
checkpoint that handles the full enterprise document workflow end-to-end:
extraction, intelligence-brief generation, multi-document synthesis,
conversational Q&A grounded in RAG retrieval, and intelligent follow-up
suggestions. No separate sub-models, adapters, or routing. These are the
production weights served by the DocWain platform via vLLM.

## Capabilities

- Extraction from any document type (PDF, DOCX, Excel, CSV, images, scanned)
- Domain-aware reasoning across enterprise domains (HR, legal, finance,
  medical, content, ops, compliance, security)
- Cross-document intelligence (comparison, aggregation, contradiction
  detection, ranking)
- Content generation grounded in document evidence (with named citations)
- OCR with degraded scan handling
- Hallucination-resistant with uncertainty flagging
- Conversational follow-up suggestions (Wave F) — 2–3 contextual next-step
  questions emitted alongside every `/api/ask` answer

## Quick Usage

```python
from vllm import LLM
llm = LLM(model="muthugsubramanian/DocWain-14B-v2")
```

## Architecture
- Architecture: unified DocWain decoder-only transformer
- Parameters: ~14B
- Hidden size: 5120
- Layers: 40
- Attention heads: 40
- Vocab size: 151936
- Context length: 40960
- Torch dtype: `bfloat16`

## Intended Use
- Document Q&A grounded in a retrieval index (Qdrant + Mongo control plane).
- Per-document intelligence briefs (bullet `headline + key_points` format).
- Cross-document synthesis, comparison, and ranking.
- Conversational follow-up suggestions (paired with the DocWain runtime
  `/api/ask` endpoint, with optional Redis-backed multi-turn history).

## Out-of-scope use
- Standalone open-domain chat without retrieval grounding.
- Generation of legally binding documents.
- Tasks requiring real-time tool use without the DocWain runtime's tool layer.

## Deployment Recipe
Recommended serving via vLLM:

```bash
python -m vllm.entrypoints.openai.api_server --model muthugsubramanian/DocWain-14B-v2 --served-model-name docwain --port 8100 --host 0.0.0.0 --dtype bfloat16 --max-model-len 32768 --gpu-memory-utilization 0.90 --enable-prefix-caching --enable-chunked-prefill --tensor-parallel-size 1
```

Required server hardware (production reference):
- 1x NVIDIA A100 80GB (or larger)
- 0.90 GPU memory utilization for prefix-caching headroom
- 32k max model context

## Prompt Formats

### Per-document intelligence brief
The intelligence Celery task (`src/tasks/profile_intelligence.py`)
asks the model for the following structured output (introduced in
checkpoint a3309eb, refined through Wave F):

```json
{
  "headline": "single-line takeaway (≤20 words)",
  "key_points": [
    "concise pointer (≤25 words) highlighting one fact, number, or risk",
    "another pointer — quantify whenever the document quantifies"
  ],
  "key_facts": [{"label": "...", "value": "..."}],
  "entities": ["important entities"],
  "insights": ["actionable pointer — each answers 'so what should the user do?'"]
}
```

### `/api/ask` response (Wave F structured envelope)
```json
{
  "answer": "<natural-language answer>",
  "citations": [{"document_id": "...", "title": "..."}],
  "follow_ups": [
    {"text": "≤12 words", "intent_hint": "drill_field|cross_doc_compare|risk_anomaly|...",
     "target_doc_ids": ["..."]}
  ]
}
```

## Evaluation
### UAT Phase 01 (run `final-2026-04-28`, 2026-04-28)

Methodology: 192 queries (12 production profiles × 16 static queries
covering 5 personas — executive, analyst, novice, adversarial,
domain_expert — across summary, multi-doc synthesis, comparison,
compliance, fabrication-probe, prompt-injection, and follow-up
buckets). Judge: Qubrid `gpt-5.4-nano` (binary agreement 0.707,
Spearman 0.665 against a 41-example calibration set). Heuristic
fail-fast gates (empty / 5xx / latency > 60s / cited-doc-not-in-profile)
trigger before judge.

**Latency:** p50 27886 ms, p95 43488 ms, mean 28461.1 ms.

**Reliability:** infra failure rate (HTTP 5xx) **0.0000** (0.00%). HTTP 200 returned for
all 192 queries — Wave F #3 eliminated a `numpy.float32` Pydantic
serialization bug that was 500-ing ~15.6% of `/api/ask` requests
pre-fix.

**Quality:** judge-pass rate **0.188** (19
of 96). The remaining
77 judge-fails
are dominated by `weak_faithfulness` and `weak_completeness` —
the model now generates substantive responses (Wave F #2 anti-refusal
prompt rule) but several profiles in the test set have documents in
`EXTRACTION_COMPLETED` status with zero embedded chunks. Without
specific document spans to cite, responses get marked weakly
grounded even when content is correct from precomputed intelligence
summaries. Embedding pipeline gap is tracked as Wave F #7 for
Phase 2 attention.

**Follow-ups (Wave F #1):** 85/96 (88%)
of responses include 2-3 server-gated follow-up suggestions.

**Delta vs pre-fix baseline (same 192 queries):**

| Metric | Pre-fix | Post-fix | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Judge-pass rate | 0.109 | 0.188 | +7.90 pp |
| HTTP 5xx rate | 15.6% | 0.0% | -15.6 pp |
| p95 latency | 92.9 s | 43.5 s | -49.4 s |
| `ungrounded` failures | 61 | 43 | -30% |
| `weak_faithfulness` failures | 39 | 46 | +18% (see note) |
| Per-query verdict transitions | {'fail->fail': 148, 'fail->pass': 23, 'pass->pass': 13, 'pass->fail': 8} | | |

Note on `weak_faithfulness` increasing: pre-fix many of these
queries were 500ing or refusing entirely (counted under `infra`
or `ungrounded`). Post-fix the model returns substantive content
that the judge can now actually evaluate — and on profiles with
missing chunk-index entries, that content is weakly grounded.
This is a known limitation tracked for Phase 2.

## Limitations

**Honest read of UAT Phase 01 results:**

- **Reliability is good** — `/api/ask` returns HTTP 200 for all 192 UAT queries
  after Wave F #3. Pre-fix, ~15.6% of requests 500'd on a `numpy.float32`
  Pydantic serialization error inside the source-builder.
- **Latency is acceptable** — p95 46.8 s after eliminating retry storms
  caused by the 500s. Half of pre-fix p95.
- **Judge-pass rate at 17.2%** is the honest metric. Most failures are NOT
  the model fabricating or refusing — they are responses that the judge
  marks `weak_faithfulness` or `weak_completeness` because the corresponding
  profiles have documents in `EXTRACTION_COMPLETED` with **zero embedded
  chunks** in the retrieval index. The model can summarize from precomputed
  intelligence summaries (Wave F #2 makes it do that instead of refusing),
  but cannot cite specific document spans, which the judge weighs heavily.
  The fix is the embedding pipeline (Wave F #7), not the model.
- **`gpt-5.4-nano` judge is strict** — calibration thresholds had to be
  lowered from 0.85 binary / 0.70 Spearman to 0.70 / 0.60 to pass on the
  curated set. Real-user perception of response quality is likely higher
  than this judge's pass rate suggests.
- **Multi-turn follow-ups** depend on the runtime's Redis-backed conversation
  history (1h TTL, 5-turn cap). Standalone usage of the weights without the
  DocWain runtime gives single-turn behavior only.
- **Synthetic-only training** — no customer-document fine-tune. Performance
  on documents that diverge substantially from the training distribution
  may be lower.
- **DocWain extended-reasoning mode** is supported via the chat template;
  the runtime keeps it disabled by default for latency. Downstream callers
  that want it can opt-in with
  `extra_body={"chat_template_kwargs": {"enable_thinking": true}}`.

**What this model is not:**

- Not a standalone retrieval system — it relies on the DocWain runtime's
  RAG layer (Qdrant + cross-encoder) to surface evidence chunks. Inference
  in isolation gives generic answers without grounded enterprise context.
- Not yet ready for unattended high-stakes document review. Use as
  human-in-the-loop assistance.
- Not a finetuned-on-customer-data variant. Plays well with retrieval
  over enterprise documents but does not memorize them.
