Everything claude-opus-4-8 did on this task, in order.
download JSON ↗My news/web heuristic is too crude to trust (77% "web" is a catch-all), but two labels are reliable: code = 1.0% (confirms no code in pool) and wiki = 10.0% (wikitext markers). The target wants ~25% encyclopedic, so I'm under-representing wiki ~2.5×. That's an actionable, theory-backed imbalance (convexity: a balanced training mix minimizes the balanced-eval loss). Let me test a wiki-boosted rebalance via a second log-odds head.

[metadata] {"noOutputExpected": false}Two critical findings:
- 36% of dev segments are WikiText-formatted (
@,@markers) — wiki is actually a large chunk of the target, and I'm under-representing it at 10%. - The wiki head is broken: its top hits are the same rare-word gibberish ("Colossi...agouti", "hesiall, Loo") — because encyclopedic vocab is rare-word-heavy, and rare-word salad games the wiki log-odds. This is exactly why fluency filtering is needed here.
So a wiki boost requires the fluency filter to suppress the rare-word salad it attracts. Let me add full-text fluency filtering to the wiki stream and test.

[metadata] {"noOutputExpected": false}Wiki-boost (25%): 396.068 — clearly worse (+2.9%). Forcing register balance hurts: the pool's encyclopedic content is under-supplied and formatting-mismatched (dev wiki has WikiText @,@ tokens no pool doc contains), so displacing high-quality news/prose with forced wiki picks lowers overall quality. The convexity argument loses to the matchability cost.
Summary of experiments:
- r_all combined head (no fluency): 384.965 ← best
- r_all + fluency demotion: 385.933 (neutral, ~noise)
- wiki-boost 25%: 396.068 (worse)
The data says the plain r_all head is best, and the explicit goal is minimizing perplexity. I'll ship that and make fluency opt-in. Let me gate the fluency block and regenerate.

Two observables follow, both distinct from the single aggregate-PPL number.\n\n### (O1) Data-level cross-entropy, before any model is trained — MEASURED\n\nAdd-1-smoothed **unigram** token cross-entropy `H(dev-slice ‖ training-set)`, nats/token,\nwith the dev target split into a prose slice (75%) and a code/Q&A slice (25%):\n\n| dev slice | random 12M | curated 12M | Δ |\n|-----------|-----------:|------------:|----:|\n| PROSE (wiki+news+web) | 8.128 | **7.889** | −0.239 |\n| CODE / Q&A | 8.068 | **8.447** | **+0.379** |\n\nThe prediction — prose cross-entropy falls, code cross-entropy does **not** fall — is confirmed,\nand in fact sharper than predicted: curation *raises* code cross-entropy. Because the pool has no\ncode, curated data is even more prose-concentrated than a random draw, so its unigram model assigns\ncode tokens (`<`, `/`, `{`, indentation, tag fragments) even lower probability. The budget is\nspent on prose at the code register's expense — a pure-data fact, no model involved.\n\n### (O2) The trained model's gain is register-localized — MEASURED\n\nTraining the frozen 30M GPT on each 12M set and evaluating perplexity **per register slice**:\n\n| heldout slice | random-trained | curated-trained | ratio |\n|---------------|---------------:|----------------:|------:|\n| PROSE | {RND_PROSE} | {CUR_PROSE} | {RATIO_PROSE} |\n| CODE / Q&A | {RND_CODE} | {CUR_CODE} | {RATIO_CODE} |\n\nPrediction: the curated model improves the **prose** slice by a wide margin while the **code/Q&A**\nslice improves little or *worsens*. The model does not learn code it never saw; the entire\naggregate win is prose. A generic \"cleaner data lifts everything uniformly\" story is ruled out —\nthe lift is structured, concentrated in the matchable registers and absent (or negative) in code.\n\n## Falsification\n\nThe hypothesis is wrong if any of:\n\n- A random 6% sample reaches within ~2% of the curated PPL ⇒ the criterion adds nothing. *(Refuted: 476.71 vs 384.97.)*\n- The curated improvement is **uniform across registers** — in particular a comparable relative gain\n on the code/Q&A slice as on prose ⇒ the \"no code in pool ⇒ that register is unmatchable/traded-away\"\n mechanism is false and some register-blind quality effect is really doing the work.\n- Replacing the real target positives with a **shuffled / random** \"target\" (same filter, same budget)\n yields the same PPL ⇒ the win is generic junk-filtering, not *target-register matching*.\n- Forcing the training mix toward the target's register *proportions* (e.g. up-weighting encyclopedic\n to ~25%) **lowers** PPL ⇒ balance, not matched-quality-per-token, is the lever. *(Tested: forcing\n ~25% wiki raised PPL to 396.1; balance is dominated by the pool's under-supply of that register.)*\n\n## Transfer\n\nMethod is target-, budget-, and pool-agnostic; only one *empirical* finding is local to this pool.\n\n- **New target:** swap the disclosed dev sample for any other register mix and the same code selects\n for *that* distribution — the log-odds head re-estimates `P(f | target)` from whatever positives it\n is handed. Nothing is hand-keyed to Wikipedia/news.\n- **New budget:** the output is a strict priority ranking; a smaller budget consumes a cleaner prefix,\n a larger budget appends lower-log-odds (more generic) prose. The method predicts **diminishing\n returns as budget → pool size** — curation matters most when budget ≪ pool.\n- **New pool:** the junk filter is distilled from target-vs-background statistics, not fitted to this\n pool's spam templates, so it transfers to other raw web dumps. The single **non-transferable** fact\n is empirical: *this* pool has no code, so the Q&A register is uncoverable here and is traded away\n (O1). A pool containing real StackOverflow/code would be matched by the identical combined-head\n criterion with no code change.\n", "structuredPatch": [{"oldStart": 40, "oldLines": 13, "newStart": 40, "newLines": 17, "lines": [" ", " | heldout slice | random-trained | curated-trained | ratio |", " |---------------|---------------:|----------------:|------:|", "-| PROSE | {RND_PROSE} | {CUR_PROSE} | {RATIO_PROSE} |", "-| CODE / Q&A | {RND_CODE} | {CUR_CODE} | {RATIO_CODE} |", "+| PROSE (75% of target) | 519.03 | **360.33** | 0.69 (**−31%**) |", "+| CODE / Q&A (25%) | 370.08 | **468.51** | 1.27 (**+27%**) |", " ", "-Prediction: the curated model improves the **prose** slice by a wide margin while the **code/Q&A**", "-slice improves little or *worsens*.
