From 5a9adcf78905d47c5589dd9678f5701a645e923d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robby Sneiderman Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2026 20:40:28 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] Record: Prefill Cache + 7-Gram Entropy-Adaptive + EBLS (0.6567 BPB) 3-seed validated: s1337=0.6565, s2024=0.6570, s2025=0.6565 (mean 0.6567, std 0.0003) 8xH100 SXM, 560s training + ~300s eval, all artifacts under 16MB. Key innovation: distributed cache pre-fill using pure numpy. Each GPU rank pre-populates n-gram hash tables with ALL preceding token positions before scoring, producing results mathematically identical to single-GPU sequential evaluation.

Without pre-fill, rank k starts with an empty n-gram cache -- it only accumulates entries from the positions it scores. This means ranks 1-7 miss the statistical patterns from all preceding positions, reducing cache effectiveness by ~60%. + +**The fix**: Before each rank begins its forward pass, it pre-populates the n-gram hash tables with ALL token positions preceding its assigned window range using pure numpy. No NCCL collectives needed. + +```python +# Pre-fill: rank k processes positions 0..start_of_rank_k using vectorized numpy +for order in range(min_order, max_order+1): + ctx_hash = hash(val_tokens[pos-order+1:pos]) # context hash + full_hash = hash(ctx_hash, val_tokens[pos]) # context+target hash + ctx_tables[order][ctx_hash % buckets] += 1 + full_tables[order][full_hash % buckets] += 1 +``` + +This produces **mathematically identical** results to single-GPU sequential evaluation. The pre-fill takes ~2-4 seconds per rank (rank 0 skips it, rank 7 pre-fills ~7/8 of all positions). + +## Technique + +### 7-Gram Causal Cache (eval-time, backward-looking) + +Multi-order backward-looking n-gram cache built during sliding window evaluation: + +1. **Hash table construction**: 6 separate hash tables for orders 2 through 7 (4M buckets each) +2. **Backoff cascade**: At each token position, attempt the highest order first (7-gram). If matched with sufficient count (min_count=2), use that prediction. Otherwise fall back to 6-gram, 5-gram, ..., 2-gram. +3. **Entropy-adaptive blending**: `p_mixed = (1 - alpha) * p_model + alpha * p_ngram` where alpha adapts per-token based on model entropy via sigmoid +4. **Strictly causal**: The cache is updated with the true token **only after** the model has scored it. No forward-peeking, no oracle/min(NLL) selection. +5. **Pre-fill**: Each GPU rank pre-populates its cache with all preceding positions before scoring begins. + +### Compliance + +- [x] Training: 560s on 8xH100 SXM (within 600s limit) +- [x] Eval (sliding window + n-gram blending): ~300s on 8xH100 SXM (within 600s limit) +- [x] All artifacts under 16,000,000 bytes +- [x] Script under 1,500 lines (1,439 lines) +- [x] No TTT on validation data +- [x] No training data access during evaluation +- [x] No min(NLL) oracle selection -- single blended prediction per token +- [x] Cache updates are strictly backward-looking (causal) +- [x] GPTQ calibration on validation data within training window (val-GPTQ) +- [x] Pre-fill uses only val_tokens[0..pos-1] at each position (no future data) + +### Legality Argument + +The cache pre-fill is legal because: + +1. **Equivalent to single-GPU eval**: The pre-fill produces identical n-gram tables as sequential single-GPU evaluation.

Without pre-fill, rank k starts with an empty n-gram cache -- it only accumulates entries from the positions it scores. This means ranks 1-7 miss the statistical patterns from all preceding positions, reducing cache effectiveness by ~60%. - -**The fix**: Before each rank begins its forward pass, it pre-populates the n-gram hash tables with ALL token positions preceding its assigned window range using pure numpy. No NCCL collectives needed. - -```python -# Pre-fill: rank k processes positions 0..start_of_rank_k using vectorized numpy -for order in range(min_order, max_order+1): - ctx_hash = hash(val_tokens[pos-order+1:pos]) # context hash - full_hash = hash(ctx_hash, val_tokens[pos]) # context+target hash - ctx_tables[order][ctx_hash % buckets] += 1 - full_tables[order][full_hash % buckets] += 1 -``` - -This produces **mathematically identical** results to single-GPU sequential evaluation. The pre-fill takes ~2-4 seconds per rank (rank 0 skips it, rank 7 pre-fills ~7/8 of all positions). - -## Technique - -### 7-Gram Causal Cache (eval-time, backward-looking) - -Multi-order backward-looking n-gram cache built during sliding window evaluation: - -1. **Hash table construction**: 6 separate hash tables for orders 2 through 7 (4M buckets each) -2. **Backoff cascade**: At each token position, attempt the highest order first (7-gram). If matched with sufficient count (min_count=2), use that prediction.

Gating + 15-Gram Backoff + EBLS + +**val_bpb: 0.4374** (3-seed mean, std 0.0003) | **~15.99 MB** | 8xH100 SXM + +## Motivation + +My background is in Bayesian statistics, so when I first saw the parameter golf challenge I immediately thought about it through the lens of shrinkage estimation — how do you get the most out of a parameter budget when you know some parameters carry redundant information? That's where EBLS came from: treat shared transformer blocks as a prior, and let per-layer LoRA deviations act as empirical Bayes corrections. The name "BayesGPT" stuck from there. + +The n-gram cache story was more of a debugging accident. When I first got the multi-order backoff working (building on the great work from @deanbrr, @lukacf, @Asukabot0 and others), I noticed my 8-GPU eval scores were way worse than expected. Turns out ranks 1-7 were starting with empty caches — they'd never seen the tokens before their assigned window. The fix was obvious once I saw it: pre-fill each rank's hash tables with all preceding positions before scoring begins. That single change dropped BPB from 0.96 to 0.65. + +The order-adaptive gating came from thinking about what the entropy threshold *should* be for different n-gram orders. A 15-gram match is almost certainly right — the model saw that exact 15-token sequence before. A bigram match could be noise. So higher orders should be trusted at lower entropy. @travispchen had a similar idea in PR #798; I extended it with a continuous interpolation across all 14 orders. + +## Results (8xH100 80GB SXM, PyTorch 2.9.1+cu128) + +### 3-seed validation + +| Seed | **Sliding + 15-gram BPB** | Artifact bytes | +|------|---------------------------|----------------| +| 1337 | **0.43706735** | 15,994,785 | +| 2024 | **0.43738561** | 15,949,881 | +| 2025 | **0.43768394** | 15,992,965 | +| **Mean** | **0.4374 (std 0.0003)** | | + +### How we got here (ablation) + +Each row adds one thing on top of the previous: + +| Config | BPB | Delta | What changed | +|--------|-----|-------|--------------| +| Neural model only (no cache) | 1.1425 | — | EBLS baseline after GPTQ | +| + 7-gram backoff + prefill | 0.6565 | -0.486 | Cache + distributed prefill | +| + extend to 15-gram | 0.6189 | -0.038 | More context helps | +| + order-adaptive gating | **0.4374** | -0.182 | Trust high orders more | + +The -0.181 from adaptive gating was the biggest single improvement. Uniform thresholds waste most of the high-order matches by being too conservative. + +## What's novel here + +### 1. Distributed Cache Pre-fill + +The problem: when evaluating on 8 GPUs with sliding windows, each rank processes a contiguous chunk of token positions. Rank 0 gets the first ~1/8, rank 7 gets the last ~1/8. Without pre-fill, rank 7 starts scoring with an empty cache — it has no n-gram statistics from the first 7/8 of the data. This is a massive handicap. + +The fix: before scoring begins, each rank pre-populates its n-gram hash tables with ALL token positions preceding its window, using vectorized numpy. No NCCL needed — each rank independently reads the validation tokens and hashes them. + +```python +# Pseudocode: rank k fills tables for positions 0..start_of_rank_k +for order in range(min_order, max_order+1): + ctx_hash = hash(val_tokens[pos-order+1:pos]) + full_hash = hash(ctx_hash, val_tokens[pos]) + ctx_tables[order][ctx_hash % buckets] += 1 + full_tables[order][full_hash % buckets] += 1 +``` + +This gives **mathematically identical** results to single-GPU sequential evaluation. It's purely a distributed implementation detail. Pre-fill takes ~22-164s depending on rank (rank 7 has the most to fill). + +**Impact**: 0.96 BPB without prefill → 0.65 BPB with prefill (-0.31 BPB). + +### 2. Order-Adaptive Entropy Gating + +Standard entropy gating uses one threshold for all n-gram orders. But a 15-gram match and a bigram match are very different signals — the 15-gram is almost certainly correct while the bigram could easily be wrong. + +Our approach: per-order thresholds that interpolate linearly from aggressive (center=2.5 for 15-grams) to conservative (center=4.5 for bigrams): + +``` +alpha(order, H) = base + range * sigmoid(scale * (H - center(order))) +center(order) = 4.5 - (order - 2) / (15 - 2) * (4.5 - 2.5) +``` + +Inspired by @travispchen's per-order thresholds in PR #798. We generalize to continuous interpolation across all 14 orders. + +**Impact**: 0.6189 BPB (uniform threshold) → 0.4374 BPB (-0.181 BPB). + +## Technical details + +### N-gram cache (eval-time, backward-looking only) + +Multi-order backoff cache built during sliding window evaluation.

When I first got the multi-order backoff working (building on the great work from @deanbrr, @lukacf, @Asukabot0 and others), I noticed my 8-GPU eval scores were way worse than expected. Turns out ranks 1-7 were starting with empty caches — they'd never seen the tokens before their assigned window. The fix was obvious once I saw it: pre-fill each rank's hash tables with all preceding positions before scoring begins. That single change dropped BPB from 0.96 to 0.65. -The order-adaptive gating came from thinking about what the entropy threshold *should* be for different n-gram orders. A 15-gram match is almost certainly right — the model saw that exact 15-token sequence before. A bigram match could be noise. So higher orders should be trusted at lower entropy. @travispchen had a similar idea in PR #798; I extended it with a continuous interpolation across all 14 orders. +The big breakthrough came from combining two ideas from the community: @pentxayc's complementary training (PR #803) — which trains the neural model to focus on tokens that n-grams can't predict — and @AayushBaniya2006's per-order multipliers (PR #809) — which aggressively boost high-order n-gram contributions while suppressing noisy bigrams. Together these dropped BPB from 0.44 to 0.29, far more than either technique alone. ## Results (8xH100 80GB SXM, PyTorch 2.9.1+cu128) ### 3-seed validation -| Seed | **Sliding + 15-gram BPB** | Artifact bytes | -|------|---------------------------|----------------| -| 1337 | **0.43706735** | 15,994,785 | -| 2024 | **0.43738561** | 15,949,881 | -| 2025 | **0.43768394** | 15,992,965 | -| **Mean** | **0.4374 (std 0.0003)** | | +| Seed | Steps | Train (s) | Pre-quant BPB | Roundtrip BPB | **Sliding + 15-gram BPB** | Artifact bytes | +|------|-------|-----------|---------------|---------------|---------------------------|----------------| +| 1337 | 3,620 | 560 | 1.1698 | 1.1745 | **0.28797872** | 15,143,631 | +| 2024 | 3,587 | 560 | 1.1701 | 1.1749 | **0.28804071** | 15,124,675 | +| 2025 | 3,593 | 560 | 1.1702 | 1.1751 | **0.28809874** | 15,324,143 | +| **Mean** | | | | | **0.2880 (std 0.00006)** | | ### How we got here (ablation) @@ -30,61 +30,59 @@ Each row adds one thing on top of the previous: | Neural model only (no cache) | 1.1425 | — | EBLS baseline after GPTQ | | + 7-gram backoff + prefill | 0.6565 | -0.486 | Cache + distributed prefill | | + extend to 15-gram | 0.6189 | -0.038 | More context helps | -| + order-adaptive gating | **0.4374** | -0.182 | Trust high orders more | +| + order-adaptive gating | 0.4374 | -0.182 | Trust high orders more | +| + complementary training (alpha=0.20) | 0.3707 | -0.067 | Focus model on hard tokens | +| **+ per-order multipliers** | **0.2880** | **-0.083** | **Boost high orders, suppress bigrams** | -The -0.181 from adaptive gating was the biggest single improvement.

Distributed Cache Pre-fill +During training, tokens that bigrams predict well get downweighted in the loss function: -The problem: when evaluating on 8 GPUs with sliding windows, each rank processes a contiguous chunk of token positions. Rank 0 gets the first ~1/8, rank 7 gets the last ~1/8. Without pre-fill, rank 7 starts scoring with an empty cache — it has no n-gram statistics from the first 7/8 of the data. This is a massive handicap. - -The fix: before scoring begins, each rank pre-populates its n-gram hash tables with ALL token positions preceding its window, using vectorized numpy. No NCCL needed — each rank independently reads the validation tokens and hashes them. - -```python -# Pseudocode: rank k fills tables for positions 0..start_of_rank_k -for order in range(min_order, max_order+1): - ctx_hash = hash(val_tokens[pos-order+1:pos]) - full_hash = hash(ctx_hash, val_tokens[pos]) - ctx_tables[order][ctx_hash % buckets] += 1 - full_tables[order][full_hash % buckets] += 1 +``` +weight[i] = max(0.1, 1.0 - COMP_ALPHA * P_bigram(token_i | token_{i-1})) ``` -This gives **mathematically identical** results to single-GPU sequential evaluation. It's purely a distributed implementation detail. Pre-fill takes ~22-164s depending on rank (rank 7 has the most to fill). - -**Impact**: 0.96 BPB without prefill → 0.65 BPB with prefill (-0.31 BPB). +This forces the neural model to specialize on tokens that n-gram caching can't handle. The bigram statistics come from training data (legal — computed during training, not eval). We use `COMP_ALPHA=0.50` with orders 2-5 and a 200-step warmup. -### 2. Order-Adaptive Entropy Gating +**Impact**: 0.4374 → 0.3707 (-0.067 BPB). -Standard entropy gating uses one threshold for all n-gram orders. But a 15-gram match and a bigram match are very different signals — the 15-gram is almost certainly correct while the bigram could easily be wrong. +### 2. Per-Order Multipliers (from @AayushBaniya2006 PR #809) -Our approach: per-order thresholds that interpolate linearly from aggressive (center=2.5 for 15-grams) to conservative (center=4.5 for bigrams): +Not all n-gram orders are equally useful. Bigrams are noisy; 5-grams and above are gold. Per-order multipliers scale the mixing alpha: ``` -alpha(order, H) = base + range * sigmoid(scale * (H - center(order))) -center(order) = 4.5 - (order - 2) / (15 - 2) * (4.5 - 2.5) +order_mults = (0.3, 0.3, 0.97, 2.0, 2.0, 2.0, 2.0, 2.0, 2.0, 2.0, 2.0, 2.0, 2.0, 2.0) +alpha_max = 0.95 ``` -Inspired by @travispchen's per-order thresholds in PR #798. We generalize to continuous interpolation across all 14 orders. +Orders 2-3 (bigrams/trigrams) are suppressed to 0.3x. Orders 5-15 are boosted to 2.0x with a cap at alpha=0.95. + +**Impact**: 0.3707 → 0.2880 (-0.083 BPB). + +### 3. Distributed Cache Pre-fill (our contribution) + +When evaluating on 8 GPUs with sliding windows, each rank processes a contiguous chunk of token positions. Without pre-fill, rank 7 starts scoring with an empty cache — it has no n-gram statistics from the first 7/8 of the data. Pre-fill fixes this: before scoring, each rank hashes all preceding positions into its tables using vectorized numpy. No NCCL needed. + +This gives **mathematically identical** results to single-GPU sequential evaluation. -**Impact**: 0.6189 BPB (uniform threshold) → 0.4374 BPB (-0.181 BPB). +**Impact**: 0.96 → 0.65 BPB (-0.31 BPB). -## Technical details +### 4.

That single change dropped BPB from 0.96 to 0.65. -The big breakthrough came from combining two ideas from the community: @pentxayc's complementary training (PR #803) — which trains the neural model to focus on tokens that n-grams can't predict — and @AayushBaniya2006's per-order multipliers (PR #809) — which aggressively boost high-order n-gram contributions while suppressing noisy bigrams. Together these dropped BPB from 0.44 to 0.29, far more than either technique alone. +My previous submission (0.2880) used hand-tuned per-order multipliers to mix the n-gram cache with the neural model. It worked but felt wrong: 14 parameters with no theoretical justification, each needing manual tuning. I asked whether there was a principled way to combine a neural prior with count evidence, and the answer turned out to be textbook Bayesian statistics. + +## The Dirichlet smoothing formula + +``` +p(token) = (ngram_count + c * neural_prob) / (total + c) +``` + +This is the Dirichlet-Multinomial posterior predictive. The neural model acts as an informative Dirichlet prior, n-gram counts provide the multinomial likelihood, and the concentration `c` controls how much to trust sparse evidence vs the neural model. Applied recursively from bigram to 15-gram, where each order's smoothed estimate becomes the next order's prior. + +A single global concentration (c=5.0) replaces the 14 hand-tuned multipliers and improves BPB from 0.2880 to 0.2292. I was surprised that one parameter does better than fourteen. + +This is the Dirichlet special case (discount=0) of the Pitman-Yor hierarchy (Teh, 2006), using a neural LM as the base measure rather than the traditional uniform/unigram prior (MacKay & Peto, 1995). It is a sibling to Kneser-Ney smoothing, not a generalization. ## Results (8xH100 80GB SXM, PyTorch 2.9.1+cu128) ### 3-seed validation -| Seed | Steps | Train (s) | Pre-quant BPB | Roundtrip BPB | **Sliding + 15-gram BPB** | Artifact bytes | -|------|-------|-----------|---------------|---------------|---------------------------|----------------| -| 1337 | 3,620 | 560 | 1.1698 | 1.1745 | **0.28797872** | 15,143,631 | -| 2024 | 3,587 | 560 | 1.1701 | 1.1749 | **0.28804071** | 15,124,675 | -| 2025 | 3,593 | 560 | 1.1702 | 1.1751 | **0.28809874** | 15,324,143 | -| **Mean** | | | | | **0.2880 (std 0.00006)** | | +| Seed | Steps | Train (s) | Roundtrip BPB | **Sliding + 15-gram BPB** | Artifact bytes | +|------|-------|-----------|---------------|---------------------------|----------------| +| 1337 | 3,430 | 560 | 1.1770 | **0.22922259** | 14,845,997 | +| 2024 | 3,430 | 560 | 1.1801 | **0.22923179** | 14,860,181 | +| 2025 | 3,430 | 560 | 1.1727 | **0.22922912** | 14,846,933 | +| **Mean** | | | | **0.22923 (std 0.000005)** | | -### How we got here (ablation) +### Ablation chain Each row adds one thing on top of the previous: | Config | BPB | Delta | What changed | |--------|-----|-------|--------------| -| Neural model only (no cache) | 1.1425 | — | EBLS baseline after GPTQ | -| + 7-gram backoff + prefill | 0.6565 | -0.486 | Cache + distributed prefill | +| Neural model only (no cache) | 1.1745 | -- | EBLS baseline after GPTQ | +| + 7-gram backoff + prefill | 0.6565 | -0.518 | Cache + distributed prefill | | + extend to 15-gram | 0.6189 | -0.038 | More context helps | | + order-adaptive gating | 0.4374 | -0.182 | Trust high orders more | -| + complementary training (alpha=0.20) | 0.3707 | -0.067 | Focus model on hard tokens | -| **+ per-order multipliers** | **0.2880** | **-0.083** | **Boost high orders, suppress bigrams** | +| + complementary training (alpha=0.50) | 0.3707 | -0.067 | Focus model on hard tokens | +| + per-order multipliers | 0.2880 | -0.083 | Boost high orders, suppress bigrams | +| **+ Dirichlet smoothing (c=5.0)** | **0.2292** | **-0.059** | **Replace multipliers with Bayesian posterior** | -## What's in this submission - -### 1.
