10-layer Transformer with ReLU² MLP 3x, BigramHash embeddings, mixed INT6 quantization with STE, Stochastic Weight Averaging, and zstd-22 compression.

  • val_bpb: 1.2421 (post-roundtrip)
  • Artifact: 13.28 MB
  • Training: 11,070 steps in 600s on 8xH100 SXM

Personal case-study of my participation in the OpenAI Model Craft
Challenge, plus the April Turbo-Muon submission brought to main so
internal links resolve.

Contents:
- README.md: personal narrative and results tables
- docs/METHODS.md: technical breakdown of each technique used
- docs/EXPERIMENTS.md: verified runs and post-mortem of 020_ultimate
- docs/UPSTREAM_README.md: original OpenAI README preserved for context
- scripts/plot_curves.py: build training curves from train_*.log
- assets/loss_curves.png: training dynamics of both submissions
- Rewritten README for the 2026-03-21 submission
- Full 2026-04-01 Turbo-Muon submission ported from the PR branch:
  README, submission.json, train_gpt.py, three seed logs

Results on main:
- 2026-03-21 Mixed Quantization + BigramHash + SWA: val_bpb 1.2421
- 2026-04-01 Turbo-Muon + EngramLite (3 seeds, std 0.0007): val_bpb 1.1431

Upstream PRs:
- openai#370
- openai#1205
Removed 19 submission folders inherited from upstream fork since they
belong to other participants and crowd the personal case-study. Only
my two submissions remain under records/track_10min_16mb/.

Also fixed one misattribution in docs/METHODS.md: the depth recurrence
observation came from another participant's non-record experiment,
not from my own run.
