WalkthroughAdds a version-pinned NeMo Gym benchmark workflow for comparing fixed strong-model and policy-model routes. The change includes route configuration, execution and comparison scripts, artifact validation, usage documentation, and automated tests. ChangesNeMo Gym benchmark

Write comparison.json only after compare.py succeeds.
compare.py can fail during validation before it prints JSON. tee creates an empty comparison.json before that validation completes. The README defines this file as the paired comparison artifact, so a failed run can expose an invalid result file.
Write to a temporary file and move it into place only after the pipeline succeeds.

What
Adds
benchmark/nemo_gym/, a version-pinned workflow for comparing two Switchyard routing conditions on the same NeMo Gym MMLU-Redux tasks:strong-onlyalways uses the strong target.policy-modeluses an LLM classifier to select the efficient or strong target.The runner builds the current checkout's
switchyard-server, gives each condition a fresh proxy and output directory, and captures Gym rollouts alongside Switchyard statistics and metrics. The comparator pairs matching task/repeat rows before reporting reward, answer and classifier tokens, latency, model totals, and classifier fail-opens.This adds no production dependency, API, or request-path change.
Why
Gym already provides the
switchyard_modeladapter, but Switchyard did not have an executable repository example for using it to compare a routed strategy with a fixed-model baseline. This makes that workflow reproducible from a Switchyard checkout and keeps failed or mismatched rollouts visible in the comparison.Closes #559
Linear: SYGH-96
Builds on NVIDIA-NeMo/Gym#2141, which added Gym's Switchyard model-server adapter.
Notes for reviewers
Start with
benchmark/nemo_gym/README.mdfor the workflow, thenrun.shfor process and artifact ownership, andcompare.pyfor pairing and accounting semantics.The example uses attached mode so it exercises the current Switchyard checkout rather than Gym's pinned released wheel. It starts a fresh proxy per condition because router state and
/v1/statsare process-wide, and it snapshots statistics before shutdown because Gym's attached-mode snapshot is best-effort.Validation:
env -u OPENROUTER_API_KEY -u NVIDIA_API_KEY -u OPENAI_API_KEY -u ANTHROPIC_API_KEY uv run pytest tests/ -q -m "not integration"— 121 passed, 2 deselected, 2 subtests passeduv run ruff check .uv run mypy switchyardbash -n benchmark/nemo_gym/run.shgit diff --checkcargo run --release -p switchyard-server -- --config benchmark/nemo_gym/routes.toml --dry-runThe limited live run validates the integration and accounting only; it is not presented as a model-quality benchmark.
