However, q_neural remained stable throughout training, suggesting larger datasets provide inherent regularization against collapse. +Scale-up yielded dramatic improvement over pilot baseline (48.16% → 67.11%), confirming H1. Surprisingly, variance profile normalized at scale without intervention, contrasting with pilot's persistent inversion. However, q_neural remained stable throughout training, suggesting larger datasets provide inherent regularization against collapse. **Modal Experiment**: [ap-lxqvebfqwVMS3Pbbqd069W](https://modal.com/apps/research-developer/main/ap-lxqvebfqwVMS3Pbbqd069W) diff --git a/scripts/download_checkpoints.py b/scripts/download_checkpoints.py new file mode 100755 index 0000000..627fcef --- /dev/null +++ b/scripts/download_checkpoints.py @@ -0,0 +1,83 @@ +#!/usr/bin/env python3 +""" +Download checkpoints from Modal volume to local repo. + +Usage: + python scripts/download_checkpoints.py + python scripts/download_checkpoints.py --pattern "*best*" +""" + +import subprocess +import argparse +from pathlib import Path + + +def download_checkpoints(pattern: str = "*.pt", destination: str = "checkpoints"): + """Download checkpoints from Modal volume.""" + dest_path = Path(destination) + dest_path.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True) + + print(f"📥 Downloading checkpoints matching '{pattern}' to {dest_path}/") + + # List available checkpoints + print("\n🔍 Available checkpoints in Modal volume:") + result = subprocess.run( + ["modal", "volume", "ls", "nsm-checkpoints"], + capture_output=True, + text=True + ) + print(result.stdout) + + # Download checkpoints + cmd = [ + "modal", "volume", "get", + "nsm-checkpoints", + str(dest_path) + ] + + print(f"\n⬇️ Downloading...") + result = subprocess.run(cmd, capture_output=True, text=True) + + if result.returncode == 0: + print("✅ Download complete!") + + # List what we downloaded + checkpoints = list(dest_path.glob("*.pt")) + if checkpoints: + print(f"\n📦 Downloaded {len(checkpoints)} checkpoints:") + for cp in sorted(checkpoints): + size = cp.stat().st_size / (1024 * 1024) # MB + print(f" {cp.name} ({size:.1f} MB)") + else: + print("⚠️ No .pt files found in volume") + + # Also check for JSON results + json_files = list(dest_path.glob("*.json")) + if json_files: + print(f"\n📄 Also found {len(json_files)} result files:") + for jf in sorted(json_files): + print(f" {jf.name}") + + else: + print(f"❌ Error: {result.stderr}") + + return result.returncode == 0 + + +if __name__ == "__main__": + parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description="Download checkpoints from Modal") + parser.add_argument( + "--pattern", + default="*.pt", + help="Pattern to match checkpoint files" + ) + parser.add_argument( + "--destination", + default="checkpoints", + help="Local destination directory" + ) + + args = parser.parse_args() + + success = download_checkpoints(args.pattern, args.destination) + exit(0 if success else 1)
