Timeline Log
Chronological timeline of ATOME LM model training, architecture experiments, and scaling behavior.
Project Initialization: Project ATOME
Initial infrastructure setup and baseline tests on 7B parameter foundation models. Establishing the zero-shot baseline for reasoning tasks.
MoE Architecture Validation
Implemented Sparse Mixture of Experts. Significant efficiency gains observed during early routing tests.
944K Vanilla Pivot
At step 944K of Phase II pre-training, model experienced sudden degradation in mathematical reasoning. Vanilla crossover failed to generalize.
Rollback executed to step 900K.
Investigating learning rate scheduling anomalies and data mixture ratios for code vs. natural language.
QEMU emulator Morning Bug
Discovered critical state corruption during large batch QEMU emulation tasks.
SSM-state bug fixed
Resolved the state space model tracking issue affecting sequence lengths.
Resuming normal training.
In Flight
Finalizing pre-release checks.
