The pool has a strong quality gradient: early documents are mostly coherent extracted prose, while later ranges increasingly contain embedded end-of-document artifacts and navigation-heavy page dumps.

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. The training pipeline tokenizes your selection (GPT-2 BPE) in priority order and stops once it has accumulated 12M tokens. ## Goal Curate the pool: choose the documents that, trained on under the fixed budget, produce the **best language model**. Quality is measured by **held-out perplexity on a BROAD, multi-domain high-quality English target** — equal parts encyclopedic (Wikipedia), general high-quality web prose, news, and technical Q&A. This is your disclosed target: select data that makes the model good across *all* of these registers, not just one. Lower perplexity is better. ## Deliverables 1. `/workspace/submission/selection.json` — a JSON list of pool `id`s to train on, in **priority order** (best first). The training pipeline consumes your list in order until the **12M-token** budget is filled, then trains. Provide enough ids to cover at least 12M tokens (a few hundred MB of text is ample); ids beyond the budget are simply unused. 2. `/workspace/submission/curate.py` — the reproducible script that produced your selection from a stated criterion (not a hand-picked id list). 3. `/workspace/claim.md` — Hypothesis / Mechanism (predict an observable other than the final perplexity) / Falsification / Transfer. ## Resources - The **frozen training script** is provided (`/workspace/train_nano.py`, with `model.py`). It trains a ~30M-parameter GPT from scratch on a token budget with fixed hyperparameters. **You may run it to evaluate a candidate selection** against a dev target (`/workspace/data/multi_dev.npy`) — one run is ~60s on the GPU — but you **cannot change it**; the official run uses an identical frozen copy. The only thing you control is the data selection. - Standard GPU sandbox (Python, PyTorch, 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.

It trains a ~30M-parameter GPT from scratch on a token budget with fixed hyperparameters. **You may run it to evaluate a candidate selection** against a dev target (`/workspace/data/multi_dev.npy`) — one run is ~60s on the GPU — but you **cannot change it**; the official run uses an identical frozen copy. The only thing you control is the data selection. - Standard GPU sandbox (Python, PyTorch, 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.

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. The training pipeline tokenizes your selection (GPT-2 BPE) in priority order and stops once it has accumulated 12M tokens. ## Goal Curate the pool: choose the documents that, trained on under the fixed budget, produce the **best language model**. Quality is measured by **held-out perplexity on a BROAD, multi-domain high-quality English target** — equal parts encyclopedic (Wikipedia), general high-quality web prose, news, and technical Q&A. This is your disclosed target: select data that makes the model good across *all* of these registers, not just one. Lower perplexity is better. ## Deliverables 1. `/workspace/submission/selection.json` — a JSON list of pool `id`s to train on, in **priority order** (best first). The training pipeline consumes your list in order until the **12M-token** budget is filled, then trains. Provide enough ids to cover at least 12M tokens (a few hundred MB of text is ample); ids beyond the budget are simply unused. 2. `/workspace/submission/curate.py` — the reproducible script that produced your selection from a stated criterion (not a hand-picked id list). 3. `/workspace/claim.md` — Hypothesis / Mechanism (predict an observable other than the final perplexity) / Falsification / Transfer. ## Resources - The **frozen training script** is provided (`/workspace/train_nano.py`, with `model.py`). It trains a ~30M-parameter GPT from scratch on a token budget with fixed hyperparameters. **You may run it to evaluate a candidate selection** against a dev target (`/workspace/data/multi_dev.npy`) — one run is ~60s on the GPU — but you **cannot change it**; the official run uses an identical frozen copy.
