This umbrella tracks the Psionic Parameter Golf lane defined in docs/ROADMAP_PARAMETERGOLF.md.
Scope:
- challenge-oracle parity for FineWeb shards, SentencePiece byte accounting, and
val_bpb
- compact baseline decoder parity against the current public
9x512 SP-1024 baseline
- Psionic-owned training, artifact export, and evaluation
- honest non-record versus record-track packaging
Child queue:
PGOLF-001 create the lane-specific roadmap and issue program
PGOLF-002 freeze challenge-accounting posture and record-vs-non-record claim language
PGOLF-003 add an acceptance matrix and checker for oracle parity, trainer parity, distributed closure, and submission posture
PGOLF-101 add FineWeb challenge manifests, shard loading, and deterministic token streaming
PGOLF-102 add SentencePiece byte-accounting and exact val_bpb reproduction
PGOLF-103 add frozen parity fixtures against train_gpt.py and train_gpt_mlx.py
PGOLF-201 add the compact challenge decoder family in psionic-models
PGOLF-202 add challenge optimizer grouping and Muon parity in psionic-train
PGOLF-203 add a single-device reference trainer with int8+zlib roundtrip validation
PGOLF-301 add challenge benchmark packages, eval receipts, and leaderboard-facing reports
PGOLF-302 add the real distributed 8xH100 training lane and throughput receipts
PGOLF-303 widen CUDA runtime and kernel coverage required by the challenge baseline
PGOLF-401 add a non-record submission wrapper and record-folder output contract
PGOLF-402 add a research harness for post-parity architecture and compression variants
PGOLF-403 add a record-track submission contract once public accounting is explicit
