Joint training-operation checkpoint

This repository contains one trained member of a controlled five-run BabyLM Strict-Small family. The runs share source data, tokenizer, backbone, initialization seed, primary masked-language-model objective, main optimization schedule, and nominal exposure. There is one trained run per recipe, and added objectives require unequal training compute. Comparisons are descriptive.

Model and data

Training operations

This run combines two training-only operations:

• A complexity curriculum and rare-token-linked document-half recombination.
• A noisy causal auxiliary objective on one quarter of batch rows. The primary bidirectional masked LM keeps its complete context.

The operations change corpus presentation and add an auxiliary prediction loss. One trained run cannot identify an interaction, empirical variation-set learning, or a human memory mechanism.

Shared training settings include LAMB with peak learning rate 0.0035, a cosine schedule with 1.6% warmup and cooldown, bfloat16, 16,384 tokens per update, data2vec weight 0.5, and EMA decay 0.9998.

Usage

from transformers import AutoModelForMaskedLM, AutoTokenizer

repo_id = "miguelcsx/mosaic-joint-d384-bbpe16k"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(repo_id, revision="main")
model = AutoModelForMaskedLM.from_pretrained(
    repo_id,
    revision="main",
    trust_remote_code=True,
)

main and chck_100M contain the final checkpoint. Earlier checkpoints are stored as chck_1M through chck_10M, then chck_20M through chck_90M.

Remote code is required for the custom inference class. Review tolm.py before loading it in a security-sensitive environment. The canonical code is maintained at github.com/miguelcsx/tolm.

Evaluation and provenance

All required checkpoint revisions were evaluated with the same BabyLM fast suite used for the controlled family. These outputs are local development evidence, not a leaderboard rank or a superiority claim. Machine-readable configuration and file provenance are recorded in training_manifest.json and release_manifest.json.

Limitations

• This is one trained run, so it does not estimate training-run variance.
• The model is a small English masked LM, not a general-purpose assistant.
• The recipe label describes implemented operations. It does not establish child-like input or memory processing, or causal claims about children.
