f1_slp1_uni8k_d125m

d125m (91.5M parameters) on rebuild 3 slice (414M words, 1 passes), trained on RTX 3060 12GB (Home GPU). Started 13 Sep 2026, ended 14 Sep 2026.

Hypothesis

Doubling the model to 125M on the same slice moves held-out bits per byte well below F0.

What we learned

Pooled 0.6133: only 2.4% better for twice the model, where the corpus change had bought 10.5%. The Gita still leaked through partial copies.

Scores

Bits per byte, lower is better; change against the parent run, F0.

Curves

Training loss

Cross-entropy per token, by step. The first few percent of the run, far higher, run off the top; hover or the table has every value.

Held-out bits per byte

The validation split, evaluated during training, by step. Lower is better.

Throughput

Tokens per second, by step.
