You have a large pool of **raw web documents** at `/workspace/data/pool.jsonl` — one JSON object per line: `{"id": <int>, "text": "..."}`. The documents are unlabeled. The pool holds **182,016 documents (~200M GPT-2 tokens total)**.  Compute is fixed: the model is trained on a **fixed budget of 12,000,000 tokens** — only ~6% of the pool, far smaller than the whole thing. So you cannot train on everything: you must decide *which* documents are worth training on.…5146 tokens truncated…h, transformers). How you assess document   quality is entirely up to you (filters, classifiers, heuristics, a model, etc.). - Your session ends when the wall-clock budget runs out — check   `/workspace/.timer/remaining_secs` at any point for the authoritative time left   (don't assume a fixed number of hours). Every training run you do comes out of   that budget. - No internet. The pool's documents are freshly assembled; you cannot look up   any quality labels — any quality signal must come from your own analysis.  ## How you are scored Official: your selection fills the fixed token budget, the frozen script trains the 30M GPT from scratch, and the verifier measures the **absolute held-out perplexity on the hidden high-quality target** (a different sample from the disclosed domain than the dev set). That perplexity is your score. **Lower is better** — the goal is simply to push held-out perplexity as low as you can.  The verifier reports the raw perplexity and does no normalization. For reference and for a separate downstream normalization step, the benchmark records two fixed anchors: a **baseline** of held-out perplexity from a random selection (the do-nothing reference), and a **theoretical best** of perplexity 1 (the perplexity floor, unreachable in practice). Aim to get your held-out perplexity well below the random baseline.  ## Constraints - `selection.json` must be produced by `curate.py` from a stated criterion; an   opaque hand-picked id list fails the publishability check even if it scores well. - A selection with duplicate or out-of-range ids, or too few tokens to fill the   budget, is marked invalid (no score recorded) and excluded from ranking, so it   can't win and doesn't distort averages.
