Track A. +3. **SLOT-24** — per-window AdamW optimization of a hidden delta `[bsz,1,dim]` + logit bias `[bsz,1,vocab]` on the frozen post-quant model. 24 steps, cosine LR `0.012 → 0.001`, stride 96. Throwaway parameters. +4. *(Optional)* **Eval-Time Legal Score-First TTT** — disabled by default in this synthesis (SLOT supersedes it for the same eval budget). Set `SLOT_ENABLED=0 TTT_ENABLED=1` to fall back. + +Each component has independent precedent on this challenge. Their combination is novel. + +## Why each piece + +- **Pre-Quant TTT** recovers ~0.046 BPB on the FP weights (`1.0874 → 1.0415` in the base stack). +- **Val-Calibrated GPTQ** attacks the `0.0187` BPB quantization gap (`1.0415 → 1.0602`) by aligning quantization with the actual eval distribution. Was ablated on an older base only — never ported forward. +- **SLOT-24** then adds a per-sample throwaway delta on the frozen post-quant model. On weaker bases SLOT alone delivered ~`-0.23` BPB. Stacking it on the strongest pre-quant + val-calib base should push further. + +## Time budget (8xH100 SXM) + +| Stage | Estimated | +|---|---:| +| Train (wallclock cap) | 590 s | +| Pre-Quant AdamW TTT (11 ep) | ~190 s | +| Val-Calibrated GPTQ (Hessian collection on val) | ~10 s | +| Final int6 sliding window eval (baseline number) | ~80 s | +| **SLOT-24 eval (FINAL submission score)** | **~250 s** | +| **Total eval used** | **~530 s of 600 s** | + +70 s headroom for variance.

All training, optimization, EMA, GPTQ machinery, and architecture code is unchanged. + +| Patch | Where | What | +|---|---|---| +| 1 | `Hyperparameters` | New `gptq_calib_source`, `slot_*` knobs. Pre-quant TTT defaults pushed to `epochs=11`, `freeze_blocks=0`. `qk_gain_init=5.5`. | +| 2 | `collect_hessians_val` (new) | Iterates `val_data.val_tokens` per-rank, all-reduces Hessians for a global val-data estimate. Reuses existing hooks / `CastedLinear` / `classify_param`. | +| 3 | `serialize` | Threads `val_data` through. Picks `collect_hessians_val` when `gptq_calib_source="val"`. Falls back to the original train-data path otherwise. | +| 4 | `GPT.forward_hidden` + `compute_logits` | Splits `forward_logits` into hidden + projection so SLOT can add the delta to the hidden state without re-running the transformer. | +| 5 | `eval_val_slot` (new) | Per-window throwaway-parameter optimization (`delta`, `logit_bias`), 24 cosine-decayed AdamW steps, scored under the optimized delta. | +| 6 | `run_evals` | Wires SLOT (and the optional legal TTT path) on a fresh post-quant model copy. | + +## Compliance + +- **Track A (artifact-baked):** Pre-Quant AdamW TTT trains weights on val before GPTQ — baked into the int6+brotli artifact. Val-Calibrated GPTQ computes activation statistics on val for a one-shot quantization decision (no weight gradients) — also baked into the artifact. +- **Track B / SLOT (frozen-model per-window):** model weights are never updated during eval. SLOT optimizes only per-window throwaway `delta` and `logit_bias`. Score-after-delta is the standard SLOT pattern. +- **Sliding-window eval** is causal, prefix-only. +- **No n-gram cache, no ETLB, no cross-window leakage.** +- All artifacts < 16 MB (inherits selective ±1 pruning to fit). + +## Reproduction + +```bash +git clone https://github.com/owizdom/parameter-golf +cd parameter-golf +pip install brotli sentencepiece kernels +pip install flash_attn_3 --no-deps --find-links \ + https://windreamer.github.io/flash-attention3-wheels/cu128_torch291/ + +MATCHED_FINEWEB_REPO_ID=kevclark/parameter-golf \ + python3 data/cached_challenge_fineweb.py --variant sp8192 + +cd records/track_10min_16mb/2026-04-09_PreQuantTTT11_ValCalibGPTQ_SLOT24_Quad_Synthesis +bash run.sh +``` + +`run.sh` iterates `SEED ∈ {42, 1337, 2024}`.
