Fills gaps in the training/compression/efficiency cluster (the REAP neighborhood). One PR because several cross-link each other.
Scaling & training dynamics
chinchilla, Training) — DeepMind's compute-optimal result: smaller models + far more data.grokking, Training) — sudden generalization long after training looked done.double-descent, Training) — bigger-first-hurts-then-helps error curve.Architecture / precision
bitnet, Architectures) — 1-bit / ternary-weight LLMs.bfloat16, Hardware & Systems) — the 16-bit format most training uses.Fine-tuning & alignment methods
dora, Training) — weight-decomposed LoRA.kto, Training) — align from simple good/bad labels.orpo, Training) — instruction + preference tuning in one step.process-reward-model, Training) — scores each reasoning step.Distributed training
3d-parallelism, Hardware & Systems) — data + pipeline + tensor parallelism combined.model-sharding, Hardware & Systems) — split a model across devices.Compression / data
model-merging, Optimization) — combine models by their weights (soups/TIES/SLERP). Complementsreap.data-mixture, Data) — the training-data recipe.Notes
rope(RoPE) andzero-redundancy-optimizer(ZeRO) already exist — the writes errored out and I skipped them. Also excluded synonyms of existing terms (knowledge-distillation→distillation,parameter-efficient-fine-tuning→peft,supervised-fine-tuning→sft,low-rank-adaptation→lora).All files pass
scripts/validate.mjs(985 files valid). Nothing is live until you merge.
