Replacing generative decoding with task-specific classifiers eliminated schema drift and sampling variability. The causal language modeling head was removed and replaced by task-specific classification heads. The solution repurposed Llama-3-8B-Instruct as a shared encoder for clinical classification tasks. Using classification heads is presented as a way to retain LLM reasoning while avoiding open-ended generation.
