320bdb3c548daeccc226847c10ab248113a244ee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Asukabot0 Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2026 16:03:36 +0900 Subject: [PATCH 02/14] Fix all default values to match p17 config 12 defaults were inherited from old PR#398 base and didn't match the actual p17 experiment config: - WARMDOWN_ITERS: 1200 -> 3500 - MATRIX_LR: 0.04 -> 0.025 - SCALAR_LR: 0.04 -> 0.025 - TIED_EMBED_LR: 0.05 -> 0.035 - SWA_ENABLED: 1 -> 0 - XSA_LAST_N: 0 -> 11 - LEAKY_RELU: 0 -> 1 - MUON_MOMENTUM: 0.95 -> 0.99 - MUON_MOMENTUM_WARMUP_START: 0.85 -> 0.92 - MUON_MOMENTUM_WARMUP_STEPS: 500 -> 1500 - TTT_ENABLED: 1 -> 0 - ZSTD_LEVEL: 22 -> 21 (configurable via env var) Now the code runs p17 config with zero env vars needed.

This forces DDP to scan the entire autograd graph every backward pass, causing ~3x slowdown on 8xH100 (288ms vs expected ~87ms/step). static_graph=True only checks once on first iteration then caches, which is much more efficient with torch.compile. This only affects multi-GPU runs (single GPU doesn't use DDP).
