E-CTX 1024

Sanskrit DoneNeutral

i9small_ctx1024_d60m

d60m (68.9M parameters) on plus_clean subset, trained on RTX 3060 12GB (Home GPU). Started 3 Oct 2026, ended 3 Oct 2026.

Hypothesis

Training at context 1,024 beats 512 at the same number of tokens.

What we learned

Tie: ex-Gita 0.6856 vs 0.6825 at the standard window and 0.6817 at its own. Not worth twice the attention cost at this size; 512 kept.

Scores

Bits per byte, lower is better; change against the parent run, E-CTX base.

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.
