f5_slp1_uni8k_d125m_plus

d125m (97.2M parameters) on plus slice, trained on RTX 3060 12GB (Home GPU). Started 29 Sep 2026, ended 29 Sep 2026.

Hypothesis

Adding new clean Vedic and classical e-text to the F4 data helps.

What we learned

Void: most of the gain came from Vedic test lines that were also in the new text. Replaced by F6-clean, which filters held-out overlaps.

Scores

Bits per byte, lower is better; change against the parent run, F4.

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.
