Confirmed: the target is exactly 25% wiki / 50% prose / 25% QA by tokens, in contiguous blocks. Now I'll write the real curate.py: per-register targeted DSIR with dedup, quality filtering, and budget-balanced interleaving so the 12M-token prefix matches that 25/50/25 mix.

Register assignment via argmax collapses to "prose" — only 255 wiki and 2892 QA docs, nowhere near 25% each. The pool likely just doesn't contain much Wikipedia/QA-format content. Let me measure what's actually in the pool by surface signature so I know the real ceiling.

narration

Key findings: pool has 889 QA-format docs (3.3M tokens) — enough for the QA quarter — but zero WikiText-format docs. So the wiki quarter has no surface match; I'll approximate it with encyclopedic-content prose (top wiki-vocabulary matches). Let me rewrite the selection logic: bucket by independent ranking rather than argmax, detect QA by HTML signature, and interleave 25/50/25.

The pool caps QA at ~1.79M tokens (~15%, can't reach 25%) and has no wiki-format data. Current selection has all QA + wiki-like + prose. Let me evaluate it against the 485.4 baseline — that's ground truth.

narration

v1 balanced = 319.2 vs random 485.4 — a 34% improvement. Good. Now let me squeeze more. My "wiki" bucket is actually formal news (shares vocab), so the true-Wikipedia quarter is under-served. Let me cache the scores so I can build variants instantly, then test: (v2) wiki bucket by distinctiveness wiki−prose for more encyclopedic content, and (v3) an unbalanced quality-only control.

v3 (unbalanced control) = 571.9 — worse than random (485)! This is decisive confirmation of the mechanism: pure quality-matching starves the QA/wiki quarters and blows up exp(mean CE). Register coverage is the dominant driver. v1 (319.2) is best so far.

The clearest remaining gap: QA is only 15% (pool-capped) vs 25% target. Let me check if I can recover more QA tokens by relaxing the length cap / dedup on QA docs.

QA can be recovered from 1.79M → 2.47M tokens (~20%) by raising the length cap to 60k for QA docs (big StackExchange threads). Let me build v5 with better QA coverage (qa .20 / wiki .25 / prose .55) and eval.
