Pre-quantization Test-Time Training (TTT) + +**Key insight:** Apply AdamW fine-tuning on validation data *after* training but *before* quantization, when weights are still in full precision. + +```python +# After training completes, before GPTQ quantization: +prequant_ttt_adapt_adamw( + model, hyperparameters, + epochs=6, lr=0.0005, freeze_blocks=2, + batch_seqs=32, grad_clip=1.0, cosine_decay=True +) +``` + +**Results:** +- **~0.034 BPB improvement** (exceeded our 0.015-0.020 estimate) +- 6 epochs in ~161s (~26s/epoch) +- Freezing first 2 layers prevents overfitting while allowing deeper layers to adapt +- Cosine decay learning rate schedule + +**Why it works:** TTT allows the model to specifically optimize for the validation distribution before quantization noise is introduced. The frozen early layers preserve general representations while deeper layers fine-tune for the specific evaluation task. + +### 2. SP1024 Custom Tokenizer + +**Key insight:** Reduce vocabulary from standard 8192 to 1024 tokens, reallocating parameter budget to model capacity. + +| Tokenizer | Vocab Size | Params Saved | Reallocation | +|-----------|------------|--------------|--------------| +| Standard | 8192 | - | Baseline | +| **SP1024** | **1024** | **~4M params** | **Deeper/wider model** | + +**Benefits:** +- More parameters for transformer layers within 16MB budget +- Faster training (smaller output projection) +- Comparable expressivity via composition of base tokens + +### 3. Parallel Residuals (Layer 7+) + +**Key insight:** Add parallel residual connections starting from deeper layers where representations are more stable. + +```python +# From layer 7 onward, add parallel residual path +if layer_idx >= parallel_start_layer: + x = x + parallel_branch(x) + main_branch(x) +``` + +**Contribution:** ~0.003-0.005 BPB improvement, stabilizes deep layer training. + +### 4. QK-Gain 5.0 + +**Key insight:** Higher QK-Gain than PR #1019 (1.5) improves attention sharpness for this architecture. + +```python +qk_gain_init = 5.0 # vs 1.5 in PR #1019 +``` + +**Contribution:** ~0.001-0.002 BPB improvement, better attention focusing. + +### 5.
