Next Steps |
| Training Maturity |
exact550, official e1250/e1500/e1750 have not completed three batches |
Cannot prove that the 6000 epoch goal has been achieved |
Reserve a full computing window, save segments for evaluation |
| Data Distribution |
Among 550 samples, rescue=257; clean50 performs differently from exact550 |
Possible deviation in profile / pose / joint coverage |
Conduct single-variable paired ablation on stock / retry / rescue |
| Time Alignment |
next-state max error=0 for processed audit, but loader modifications will change the target |
Misalignment will distort both loss and closed loop |
Fix the official semantics, conduct separate alignment experiments |
| Evaluation Topology |
Both ordinary runner and trace runner yield different results for the same weight |
Small sample scores cannot be directly compared |
Finally use the persistent official runner |
| Public/Private Gap |
Local control: fresh3=2/3; online T4=25.3/100 |
Public 3 seed does not represent private 100 seed |
Add fixed, unseen seed panels |
| Resource Availability |
Remote 4090 is shut down due to debt; PRO 6000 has disk/GPU ownership constraints |
Training and synchronization windows are compressed |
Persistent disk, balance alerts, recoverable checkpoints |
| Scaling Process |
403 error for wrong account; 403 error after the second version deadline |
Only one valid online T4 exists |
Check unlock status and save queue id before submission |
| Release Boundaries |
Private logs contain paths, processes, credentials, and large files |
Direct copying would reveal secrets or cause oversized repositories |
Only publish masked summaries and reproduction scripts |
