Run Summary & Prior Findings

Older rollups, retained for context. Going forward, run-related material is published in the machine-generated Experiment Runs feed.

One-page rollup

Run Summary

The minimum context needed to understand where the reports came from.

M4 spine

Dense trajectory and scorecard substrate

EXP-43, EXP-44, EXP-45, and EXP-58 establish the fp32/bf16 weight trajectories, sweep engine, scorecard contract, and R2-verified checkpoint collection.

GSM8K

Projection helps when updates are coherent

EXP-47 finds fixed damped-linear projection at ratio 0.9396 with h_safe around 30 global steps; EXP-49 adaptive gains are real but sub-threshold.

Big-Math

Projection is dataset-specific

EXP-60 and EXP-61 show consecutive update cosine near 0.15, so operational projection collapses to hold-stale except at the freshest anchor.

DateNameTakeaway
2026-07-08Signed-EMA α,β sweepModerate correction + fresh anchor is stable at 20/20; only the stalest anchor (β=0.90) collapses.
2026-07-06Weekly updateCoherence-gated projection is the current design direction.
2026-07-05Math-only ablationFresh-anchor projection clears about 1%; operational Math remains do-nothing-optimal.
2026-07-04MOAT projector verdictGSM8K win does not generalize; no universal projector default.
2026-07-03Rank-1 trajectory analysisRank-1 state is useful for long-range position, not short-range displacement prediction.

Prior Findings Kept as Summary

These findings matter, but the duplicated full pages were removed from the publishing repo.

2026-06-18ANCHOR DELAY

K=5 works; K=20 stale-gradient anchoring collapses

The same signed EMA merger is near the dense ceiling at K=5, but falls below the no-merger floor by step 100 at K=20. The diagnosis is stale/off-policy anchor gradients, with cadence as a secondary contributor.

2026-06-18MISMATCH

Compression-induced train-inference mismatch is separate

The compressed trainer and rollout engine disagree too strongly for plain truncated importance sampling to cleanly absorb; this remains a separate correction path from anchor staleness.
