docs(sleep): make the results section rigorous (named benchmarks, baseline→after)
Label each result with its benchmark, test size, metric, target model, and gate mode; show absolute baseline→after (not just Δ); state the single shared protocol once. SearchQA recall-scaling table (1400-item test, SQuAD-EM, GPT-5.5, gated) + SpreadsheetBench confirmation (280-item, cell-value compare, nano, gate-free) + the gbrain end-to-end line. Keeps the single-seed / flat-on-noisy caveats.

## Results
|
||||
|
||||
- **End-to-end on real agents.** On the public
|
||||
[gbrain-evals](https://github.com/garrytan/gbrain-evals) `skillopt-v1` benchmark,
|
||||
deficient seed skills go **0.00 → 1.00** on held-out sets with **both Claude and
|
||||
Codex** (all 4 seeds, including a real tool-use loop).
|
||||
- **Experience replay scales the gain on a clean signal** (deployment protocol:
|
||||
5 nights × 10 new real tasks/night, full held-out test, GPT-5.5, gated):
|
||||
**Protocol (identical for every row below).** 5 nights × 10 new real "today" tasks
|
||||
per night; the full held-out **test** split is scored before night 1 (baseline) and
|
||||
after night 5 (after); optimizer = GPT-5.5; single seed (42); run through the exact
|
||||
shipped engine (`skillopt_sleep.dream.dream_consolidate`). Numbers are absolute
|
||||
held-out accuracy; **Δ** = `after − baseline` in percentage points.
|
||||
|
||||
| Config | Δ vs baseline |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| `recall_k=10, dream_rollouts=5` | +3.1 pts |
|
||||
| `recall_k=20, dream_rollouts=5` | **+4.5 pts** |
|
||||
| full-history replay (reference) | +5.6 pts |
|
||||
**(a) End-to-end on real agents — [gbrain-evals](https://github.com/garrytan/gbrain-evals) `skillopt-v1`.**
|
||||
Deficient seed skills go **0.00 → 1.00** on the held-out set with **both Claude Code
|
||||
and Codex** as the target agent (all 4 seeds, including a real tool-use loop).
|
||||
|
||||
A second benchmark (SpreadsheetBench, GPT-5.4-nano, gate-free) gives **+3.6 pts**.
|
||||
- **Honest scope.** Gains are real where tasks recur and have a checkable correctness
|
||||
signal; on saturated or noisy tasks the effect is flat within run-to-run noise
|
||||
(±1–2 pts, single seed). The validation gate keeps the downside bounded — keep it on.
|
||||
**(b) Experience replay scales the gain — SearchQA** (1,400-item held-out test,
|
||||
SQuAD exact-match; target = GPT-5.5; **validation-gated**):
|
||||
|
||||
| Replay config (`dream_rollouts=5`) | Baseline → After | Δ (pts) |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| `recall_k=10` | 0.802 → 0.834 | +3.1 |
|
||||
| `recall_k=20` | 0.803 → 0.848 | **+4.5** |
|
||||
| full-history replay *(reference, not a shipping default)* | 0.796 → 0.851 | +5.6 |
|
||||
| `recall_k=10`, `dream_rollouts=8` *(more dreaming, same recall)* | 0.798 → 0.835 | +3.7 |
|
||||
|
||||
The gain rises monotonically with how much relevant past experience is recalled. The
|
||||
same SearchQA cell **without** the gate (`recall_k=10`) is 0.808 → 0.839 (+3.1).
|
||||
|
||||
**(c) Second benchmark — SpreadsheetBench** (280-item held-out test; the agent's
|
||||
generated openpyxl code is executed and compared cell-by-cell to a golden workbook;
|
||||
target = GPT-5.4-nano; gate-free + the output-contract guardrail): 0.279 → 0.314 (**+3.6**).
|
||||
|
||||
**(d) Honest scope.** These gains hold where tasks recur and have a checkable
|
||||
correctness signal. On saturated or noisy benchmarks (e.g. a strong model already
|
||||
near ceiling) the effect is **flat within run-to-run noise** — single-seed baseline
|
||||
variance here is ±1–2 pts, so treat sub-~1.5 pt differences as noise. The validation
|
||||
gate keeps the worst case bounded; keep it **on** by default.
