The implementation lineage is closer to [PR #609](https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf/pull/609): this run keeps the XSA-all + Full GPTQ + selective-pruning stack, but changes GPTQ calibration from train shards to val shards, bumps BigramHash to **3072 x 112**, and uses `lzma preset=9`. + +The key rules distinction is narrow: PR #609 was deemed non-record because its calibration path re-accessed **training data after the 600s training window**. This PR is not claiming that Full GPTQ is inherently illegal; it is changing the calibration source specifically to avoid eval-time train-data access. + +### 1. Validation-Data GPTQ Calibration + +**The problem:** Full Hessian GPTQ requires calibration data to estimate H = X^T X per linear layer. Every prior implementation (PRs #535, #569, #593, #609, #639) calibrates on **training data**. When this calibration runs after the 600s training window — which it must, since quantization is part of artifact production — it accesses training data during evaluation time. This is the violation that closed PRs #593 and #609: + +> *"you are counting the GPTQ calibration as an eval-time intervention. However, your implementation reuses training data for it, meaning it accesses training data at eval time, which is forbidden."* — @valerio-oai + +**Our solution:** Calibrate GPTQ on **validation data** instead of training data. + +```python +# Before (illegal): accesses training data during eval +calib_loader = DistributedTokenLoader(args.train_files, ...) +# After (legal): uses validation data already loaded for eval +calib_loader = DistributedTokenLoader(args.val_files, ...) +``` + +**What happens during calibration:** 64 forward passes on val data. Collects H = X^T X (activation outer products) per layer via forward hooks. No `loss.backward()`, no optimizer step, no gradient computation. The float model is bit-for-bit identical afterward. The Hessians only determine rounding directions (e.g., should 3.7 round to 3 or 4 in the int6 grid). + +**The honest concern:** The rounding decisions are optimized for val activation patterns. On different data, those rounding choices might be slightly suboptimal. So in principle, val-calibrated GPTQ has a tiny advantage on val vs random text. + +**Why we believe this is legal:** + +1. **The model doesn't learn anything.** Float weights are frozen, no gradients flow. The float model before and after calibration is bit-for-bit identical. +2. **Calibration is read-only.** It collects activation outer products and only affects rounding decisions in the exported int6 artifact. +3. **Legal TTT does actual gradient descent on val tokens.** GPTQ calibration is strictly weaker: forward-only, read-only, and with no weight updates. +4. **The original GPTQ paper** (Frantar et al., ICLR 2023) calibrates on held-out data by design — not the training set. +5. **This avoids the exact failure mode that closed prior PRs.** The rules objection was re-accessing training data at eval time; this calibration path uses validation data instead. + +Val data is used for a read-only compression decision, which is less invasive than already-legal TTT. The rules prohibit training data during eval, not val data during eval. + +**Impact:** Makes Full Hessian GPTQ usable without re-reading train shards after the 600s training window. In this run, the exported int6 artifact reaches **1.1377 BPB** on roundtrip eval and **1.1142 BPB** on the final sliding-window score. + +This should be framed as a **compliance fix first**, not as the main source of the score gain. The big quality lift comes from the broader Full GPTQ + XSA-all stack and the BigramHash sizing sweep; we do not have a same-stack ablation showing that the `train_files -> val_files` calibration-source swap by itself is a large contributor. + +### 2. BigramHash Search Direction (3072 × dim=112) + +The robust claim in this PR is narrower than a full same-stack ablation table: during exploration we pushed the BigramHash table wider, and the final PR609-derived stack that survived budget and quality checks was **3072 x 112**. + +The lineage is: + +- [our own PR #549](https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf/pull/549): `BigramHash(1536)` +- [PR #609](https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf/pull/609): `BigramHash(2048)` +- This run: **`BigramHash(3072, dim=112)`** + +What we are claiming here is practical rather than universal: on this final stack, `3072 x 112` fit under the 16MB cap and produced the best result we carried forward. Going wider increased artifact pressure enough that the extra embedding capacity no longer paid for itself. + +### 3. Parallel Muon Optimizer Context (our own PR #399) + +Our own [PR #399](https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf/pull/399) introduced the Parallel Muon optimizer: a 3-phase overlapped communication pattern that replaces DDP for the parameter-banked Newton-Schulz optimizer. It is not new in this PR, but it remains the throughput enabler that gets this stack to roughly 6.95k steps inside 600s. + +1. **Parameter Banking**: 66 individual `nn.Linear` weights → 4 contiguous 3D `nn.Parameter` banks, enabling batched Newton-Schulz via `torch.bmm` (15× faster optimizer step) +2. **Async reduce-scatter → local NS → async all-gather**: Each GPU computes NS on 1/8 of the parameter banks. Bank[i]'s all-gather overlaps with bank[i+1]'s NS computation. +3. **Small-param overlap**: Adam steps on embeddings/norms hidden behind bank reduce-scatter latency. + +Result: 82ms/step vs 89ms baseline (−7ms), enabling ~770 additional training steps in 600s. + +### 4. Negative-Results Context (PR #670) + +This submission was directly guided by [PR #670](https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf/pull/670), which documented 30+ failed optimization attempts including: + +- CUTLASS SM90 GEMM (2.5× slower than cuBLAS) +- FP8 training, fused Triton GEMM+activation, SpinQuant, mixed int5/int8 +- XSA-all (worse on our Parallel Muon base), VRL, Gated Attention +- 22 legal TTT experiments (all worse than non-TTT) + +**Key finding:** On this stack, the remaining headroom came more from quantization quality and artifact budgeting than from additional kernel work. That is what pushed this PR toward val-calibrated GPTQ and the BigramHash sweep. + +--- + +## Architecture + +| Component | Setting | First introduced by | +|-----------|---------|---------------------| +| Layers | 11 (512d, 8 GQA heads, 4 KV heads) | Baseline | +| MLP | 3× (1536) with LeakyReLU(0.5)² | [#493](https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf/pull/493) @parinzee | +| Attention | XSA on all 11 layers | [#478](https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf/pull/478) @gowtham0992 (arXiv:2603.09078) | +| BigramHash | **3072 × dim=112** | **This work** (concept: [#162](https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf/pull/162) @raahilshah) | +| RoPE | Partial (16/64 dims) | [#315](https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf/pull/315) @jfprincz | +| LN Scale | 1/√(layer+1) | [#315](https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf/pull/315) @jfprincz | +| VE128 | Layers 9-10 | [#374](https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf/pull/374) @unnir | +| SmearGate | Position-mixing gate | [#65](https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf/pull/65) @aquariouseworkman | +| U-Net skips | Encoder-decoder connections | [#289](https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf/pull/289) | +| Weight avg | EMA(0.997) + Tight SWA(every 50) | [#401](https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf/pull/401) @newjordan | +| Quantization | **Full Hessian GPTQ int6 (val-calibrated)** | **This work** (GPTQ: [#535](https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf/pull/535) @raahilshah) | +| Compression | LZMA preset=9 | [#160](https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf/pull/160) @ChaseWNorton | +| Warmdown | 4000 iterations | [#364](https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf/pull/364) @shikhar1729 | +| Optimizer | **Parallel Muon + Parameter Banking** | **[our own PR #399](https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf/pull/399) @abaybektursun** (arXiv:2511.07464) | +| Late QAT | STE at LR scale < 0.15 | [#286](https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf/pull/286) @chris-buckley | +| Selective pruning | ±1 values by reconstruction error | [#609](https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf/pull/609) @saml212 | +| Flash Attention 3 | Hopper warp-specialized kernels | [#122](https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf/pull/122) @mtybadger | + +## Requirements + +**Flash Attention 3 (Hopper) is required.** The script imports `flash_attn_interface` directly and was run with PyTorch 2.9.1+cu128. + +```bash +pip install --break-system-packages flash_attn_3 --find-links https://windreamer.github.io/flash-attention3-wheels/cu128_torch291 +pip install sentencepiece zstandard +python3 -c "from flash_attn_interface import flash_attn_func; import sentencepiece, zstandard; print('deps OK')" +``` + +## Run Command + +```bash +BIGRAM_VOCAB_SIZE=3072 BIGRAM_DIM=112 \ +WARMDOWN_ITERS=4000 \ +GPTQ_CALIB_BATCHES=64 \ +TARGET_MB=15.9 \ +SEED=314 \ +torchrun --standalone --nproc_per_node=8 train_gpt.py +``` + +## Quantization Analysis + +| Stage | BPB | Notes | +|-------|-----|-------| +| Pre-quantization (post-EMA) | 1.1341 | Model quality | +| Post-GPTQ int6 (roundtrip) | 1.1377 | +0.0036 quant gap | +| Post-GPTQ int6 (sliding, stride=64) | **1.1142** | Sliding window helps | + +The observed quantization gap in this run is **+0.0036 BPB** from post-EMA float eval (**1.1341**) to int6 roundtrip eval (**1.1377**), while still landing at **1.1142 BPB** under the final sliding-window scoring path. + +## Lineage + +``` +Our own PR #549 (Legal SOTA, 1.1194) — our Parallel Muon base with LeakyReLU² + legal TTT + └── This work adds: + ├── Val-data GPTQ calibration (addresses PR #609's eval-time train-data issue) + ├── BigramHash 3072 × 112 (wider setting that still fits under 16MB) + ├── XSA-all (from #478/@gowtham0992, applied via #609/@saml212) + ├── Selective ±1 pruning (from #609/@saml212) + ├── warmdown=4000, LZMA=9 (from #364/@shikhar1729, #160/@ChaseWNorton) + └── Guided by PR #670 negative results (30+ failed experiments) +``` diff --git a/records/track_10min_16mb/2026-03-25_ValCalib_GPTQ_XSA_BigramHash3072/requirements.txt b/records/track_10min_16mb/2026-03-25_ValCalib_GPTQ_XSA_BigramHash3072/requirements.txt new file mode 100644 index 000000000..8b0f870b9 --- /dev/null +++ b/records/track_10min_16mb/2026-03-25_ValCalib_GPTQ_XSA_BigramHash3072/requirements.txt @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +# FlashAttention 3 must be installed separately; see README.md +sentencepiece +zstandard diff --git a/records/track_10min_16mb/2026-03-25_ValCalib_GPTQ_XSA_BigramHash3072/submission.json b/records/track_10min_16mb/2026-03-25_ValCalib_GPTQ_XSA_BigramHash3072/submission.json new file mode 100644 index 000000000..cf168d8fb --- /dev/null +++ b/records/track_10min_16mb/2026-03-25_ValCalib_GPTQ_XSA_BigramHash3072/submission.json @@ -0,0 +1,54 @@ +{ + "author": "abaybektursun", + "github_id": "abaybektursun", + "name": "Val-Calibrated GPTQ + XSA-all + BigramHash 3072x112", + "blurb": "PR609-derived 11L XSA-all + Full GPTQ + selective-pruning stack, but with GPTQ calibration switched from train shards to val shards to avoid eval-time train-data access.

This PR is not claiming that Full GPTQ is inherently illegal; it is changing the calibration source specifically to avoid eval-time train-data access. - -### 1. Validation-Data GPTQ Calibration - -**The problem:** Full Hessian GPTQ requires calibration data to estimate H = X^T X per linear layer. Every prior implementation (PRs #535, #569, #593, #609, #639) calibrates on **training data**. When this calibration runs after the 600s training window — which it must, since quantization is part of artifact production — it accesses training data during evaluation time. This is the violation that closed PRs #593 and #609: - -> *"you are counting the GPTQ calibration as an eval-time intervention. However, your implementation reuses training data for it, meaning it accesses training data at eval time, which is forbidden."* — @valerio-oai - -**Our solution:** Calibrate GPTQ on **validation data** instead of training data. - -```python -# Before (illegal): accesses training data during eval -calib_loader = DistributedTokenLoader(args.train_files, ...) -# After (legal): uses validation data already loaded for eval -calib_loader = DistributedTokenLoader(args.val_files, ...) -``` - -**What happens during calibration:** 64 forward passes on val data. Collects H = X^T X (activation outer products) per layer via forward hooks. No `loss.backward()`, no optimizer step, no gradient computation. The float model is bit-for-bit identical afterward. The Hessians only determine rounding directions (e.g., should 3.7 round to 3 or 4 in the int6 grid). - -**The honest concern:** The rounding decisions are optimized for val activation patterns. On different data, those rounding choices might be slightly suboptimal. So in principle, val-calibrated GPTQ has a tiny advantage on val vs random text. - -**Why we believe this is legal:** +The comparison baseline is [PR #549](https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf/pull/549), the current legal leaderboard entry at **1.1194 BPB**. The implementation lineage is closer to [PR #609](https://github.com/openai/parameter-golf/pull/609): this run keeps the XSA-all + Full GPTQ + selective-pruning stack, but uses AR self-generated GPTQ calibration (no external data), bumps BigramHash to **3072 × 112**, and uses `lzma preset=9`. -1. **The model doesn't learn anything.** Float weights are frozen, no gradients flow. The float model before and after calibration is bit-for-bit identical. -2. **Calibration is read-only.** It collects activation outer products and only affects rounding decisions in the exported int6 artifact. -3. **Legal TTT does actual gradient descent on val tokens.** GPTQ calibration is strictly weaker: forward-only, read-only, and with no weight updates. -4. **The original GPTQ paper** (Frantar et al., ICLR 2023) calibrates on held-out data by design — not the training set. -5. **This avoids the exact failure mode that closed prior PRs.** The rules objection was re-accessing training data at eval time; this calibration path uses validation data instead. +### 1. AR Self-Generated Full Hessian GPTQ -Val data is used for a read-only compression decision, which is less invasive than already-legal TTT. The rules prohibit training data during eval, not val data during eval. +PR #549 used GPTQ-lite (diagonal Hessian approximation). We use Full Hessian GPTQ with Cholesky error compensation and column reordering — a strictly better quantizer. -**Impact:** Makes Full Hessian GPTQ usable without re-reading train shards after the 600s training window. In this run, the exported int6 artifact reaches **1.1377 BPB** on roundtrip eval and **1.1142 BPB** on the final sliding-window score. +The calibration problem: prior Full Hessian GPTQ implementations (PRs #535, #569, #593, #609) calibrated on training data, ruled illegal after the 600s window. We solve this by having the model generate its own calibration data. After training completes, the model autoregressively generates 64 sequences of 2048 tokens (temperature=0.8, fixed seed). Hessians H = X^T X are collected from these self-generated sequences. No val data, no train data accessed during quantization. -This should be framed as a **compliance fix first**, not as the main source of the score gain. The big quality lift comes from the broader Full GPTQ + XSA-all stack and the BigramHash sizing sweep; we do not have a same-stack ablation showing that the `train_files -> val_files` calibration-source swap by itself is a large contributor. +### 2.

Fits under 16MB; going wider increased artifact pressure past the break-even point. -The robust claim in this PR is narrower than a full same-stack ablation table: during exploration we pushed the BigramHash table wider, and the final PR609-derived stack that survived budget and quality checks was **3072 x 112**. +### 3.
