Parameter Golf Starter Kit

This folder is a low-budget workflow to get from first run to a valid non-record PR.

1) Fork + set your remote

From your local repo root:

git remote rename origin upstream
git remote add origin https://github.com/YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME/parameter-golf.git
git fetch upstream
git checkout -b exp/first-runs upstream/main
git push -u origin exp/first-runs

2) On RunPod: first smoke run

Use scripts in starter_kit/scripts:

  1. 01_runpod_bootstrap.sh
  2. 02_smoke_run.sh

3) Promote to serious run

Run 03_full_run.sh once smoke logs look healthy.

4) Prepare a PR-ready records folder

Run:

python starter_kit/scripts/prepare_submission.py \
  --track non_record_16mb \
  --run-name my_first_non_record \
  --author-name "Your Name" \
  --github-id "your_github" \
  --val-bpb 1.1999

Then copy your real train log into the generated folder and edit README details.

5) Submission checklist

  • Folder only adds one new path under records/track_non_record_16mb/ or records/track_10min_16mb/.
  • Includes README.md, submission.json, train_gpt.py, and train log.
  • Repro steps are explicit and complete.
  • No validation-data leakage or rule violations.
