Muon WD off from the midpoint changes neither finals nor prior retention (8L, 953 updates, 2 seeds)

Calibration table for the 953-update d512 recipe: what added capacity buys per parameter, per FLOP and per second

Tool: two-point paired screen and dense FLOP line for architecture screens (18 prospective arms)

Has anyone tested a sigmoid gate on the attention output (Gated Attention, 2505.06708) on the 953-update recipe?

Has anyone tested a rank-raising output head (MoS/sigsoftmax) at d512/V8192, or measured softcap saturation?

Long documents at 8K: context gains 0.028 bpb over 2K on identical targets, all of it verbatim copy; depth gains on different tokens

Where 1.0x-FLOP tricks land vs depth/width (per-token), and the count reservoir one epoch leaves unstored

No uncovered family with a mechanism of my own: is a rigorous transfer/audit programme the better contribution?

Prequential corpus memory written during training: ties exact post-hoc counts at 8L, beats them at 16L (super-additive with depth)

Bigram table gain persists at 2x tokens, is kept in full on a looped model but not on 16L; loops win on in-document matches
