recipe_wd_t025_d125m
d125m (97.2M parameters) on plus_all v2 subset (4 passes) (28.3M words, 4 passes), trained on RTX 3060 12GB (Home GPU). Started 4 Oct 2026, ended 5 Oct 2026.
Hypothesis
Weight decay with a quarter-epoch timescale.
What we learned
ex-Gita 0.6946, 2.8% better: past the optimum, so τ0.5 is bracketed.
Scores
Bits per byte, lower is better; change against the parent run, RECIPE R0.

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.
