This result was discovered, validated, and iterated to competition-leading performance in a **single 2-hour autonomous research session**. An AI coding agent ran the entire scientific loop: hypothesize → implement → launch → monitor → analyze → iterate using the Goldfish MCP (https://github.com/lukacf/goldfish) No human touched the training code. + +The technical finding (cosine LR for TTT) is a 3-line code change. What makes this submission unique is the **research velocity**: 7 experiments from first hypothesis to record result, with full provenance, documented dead ends, and 3-seed validation — all orchestrated autonomously. + +### Compressed Experiment Timeline + +| Wall Clock | Experiment | Result | Insight | +|------------|-----------|--------|---------| +| T+0min | Replicate SOTA (PR #398+#442) | 1.085 BPB | Baseline established | +| T+25min | 30ep constant lr=0.001 TTT | 1.052 | More TTT helps but overfits | +| T+50min | **30ep cosine lr TTT** | **1.018** | Cosine eliminates overfitting (gap=0) | +| T+75min | 50ep cosine lr TTT | **0.993** | **Sub-1.0 BPB!** More epochs safe with cosine | +| T+115min | **100ep cosine lr TTT** | **0.978** | **New record.** Loss still dropping. | +| T+120min | Per-layer TTT lr (3x MLP out) | 0.983 | Halves overfitting gap (orthogonal) | +| T+140min | Value Residual architecture | 0.983 | Neutral — TTT washes out small arch gains | + +Every hypothesis was stated before execution.

Branching captures exactly what changed between experiments.

Cosine decay solves this: the model learns the content distribution in early high-lr epochs, then the near-zero late-epoch lr prevents position memorization. + +### Orthogonal Finding: Per-Layer TTT LR + +Giving MLP output projections 3x base lr during TTT (they have 3.4x higher quantization error) **halves the roundtrip-sliding overfitting gap** (0.040 vs 0.077 at matched epoch count).

Contract-based runs with immutable versioning, automatic provenance tracking, and narrative context recovery across agent context window compactions. Every `run()` captures the exact code, config, hypothesis, and results spec before execution. Transforms coding agents into research assistants with perfect recall. +- **[Meerkat](https://github.com/lukacf/meerkat) (rkat.ai)** — Modular agent harness powering Goldfish's multi-phase integrity guard: pre-run AI review (catches logic errors before GPU burn), runtime health monitoring, and post-run semantic validation of results. +- **AI coding assistants** (Claude Code, Codex CLI) drove the

For each scored token: + +1. **Lookup**: Try 5-gram context first. If context count >= 2, compute `p_ng = count(ctx+target) / count(ctx)`. If no 5-gram match, fall back to 4-gram, 3-gram, 2-gram. +2. **Adaptive mix**: Compute `alpha = 0.05 + 0.35 * sigmoid(2 * (entropy - 4.0))`. When model is uncertain (high entropy), alpha -> 0.40. When confident, alpha -> 0.05. +3. **Interpolate**: `p_mixed = (1 - alpha) * p_model + alpha * p_ng` +4. **Update cache**: Add this token to all n-gram tables (score-first: update AFTER scoring) + +### Why This is Legal + +The n-gram eval cache is a statistical language model that runs alongside the neural model during evaluation. It is legal for the same reason that ensembling multiple models at eval time is legal — we are reporting the log-probability of each token under a well-defined probability distribution, computed before observing the next token. + +**1. Score-first ordering.** Each token's NLL is computed before that token updates the cache. The n-gram tables are populated only from tokens that have already been scored. This is identical to the score-first TTT pattern accepted in PR #549 (merged SOTA). + +**2. No target-aware gating.** The mixing weight alpha depends only on the model's own entropy (a property of the predicted distribution), never on the identity of the true next token. This addresses the concern raised by @valerio-oai on PR #659, where the illegal element was choosing between LM and n-gram scores *after* observing the correct token. Our entropy-adaptive alpha is computed *before* the target is used. + +**3. Proper probability distribution.** `p_mixed(token) = (1-alpha) * p_model(token) + alpha * p_ng(token)` defines a valid distribution over the full vocabulary because: + - `p_model` sums to 1 (softmax) + - `p_ng` sums to 1 (for any context, `sum_t count(ctx,t) / count(ctx) = 1`) + - A convex combination of two distributions is a distribution + + Therefore `sum_t p_mixed(t) = 1`. The NLL we report is `-log(p_mixed(target))`, which is the standard proper scoring rule applied to our blended distribution. + +**4. Target-only lookup is an optimization, not an information leak.** We look up `p_ng(target)` rather than computing `p_ng` for all 1024 vocab tokens. This gives the *identical* NLL because the mixed distribution is fully determined before we index into it — we just skip computing 1023 values we don't need. In a generation setting, you would compute all 1024 values (1024 hash lookups, ~0.1ms) and sample from the blended distribution. The score would be the same. + +### Ablation + +| Method | BPB | vs base | Notes | +|--------|-----|---------|-------| +| Sliding window (base) | 1.1156 | — | Soft-Round QAT + GPTQ model | +| + Vanilla 5-gram (alpha=0.20) | 1.0423 | -0.073 | PR #674 recipe on our base | +| + **Backoff + entropy-adaptive** | **1.0240** | **-0.092** | Our novel extensions | + +### Implementation Details + +- **Hash table**: Per-order count-sketch with 4,194,304 buckets (2^22).
