looped-moe-gpt2-reasoning

A GPT-2-scale looped (recurrent-depth) transformer combining sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE), Multi-head Latent Attention (MLA), and a per-token adaptive loop-depth router. Trained on a general-English + math-reasoning curriculum. See the project repository for the full architecture, literature survey, and training code.

Architecture

This is not a transformers-library AutoModel-compatible checkpoint -- the architecture (block-level weight sharing, sparse MoE routing, per-token adaptive depth) has no equivalent built-in model class. Loading this checkpoint requires this project's own code.

Training data

A two-phase curriculum: general English (FineWeb-Edu) for the first 25% of training, with math-reasoning data (OpenMathInstruct-2) ramped in linearly from 25%-45% of training and held at equal weight with general text for the remainder. General text is never fully removed from the mix, to avoid the narrow-capability collapse risk of a pure-math cold start. See configs/05_curriculum_reasoning.yaml in the project repo for the exact schedule.

Evaluation

Validation loss at this checkpoint: 3.9609 (cross-entropy, on held-out text from the same corpora used for training).

Important caveat: this is a next-token-prediction loss, not a measure of correctness on reasoning tasks. A low loss on math-formatted text means the model predicts the surface structure of math solutions well (it has learned the templates/phrasing common in the training corpus) -- it does not by itself demonstrate that the model performs arithmetic or logical reasoning correctly. No answer-accuracy evaluation (e.g. GSM8K-style exact-match scoring) has been run on this checkpoint as of this upload; treat any math-reasoning claims about this model as unverified until such an evaluation is added.
