Dude, Where's My Update? I'll tell you where! ~97.6% of my BF16 parameter coordinates didn't move at all, and the ones that did overshot by ~1.33x.
It's nice to do research that doesn't end in disproving yourself once again and moving on to the next subject once in awhile.
Back to the topic, if you've ever wondered why most of your weights are basically ghosting you nearly every step when you store your weights at bf16, Dude, I Measured It.
Hello! Tomorrow, OpenCerebral will be releasing Boris-1.7-D60M-n30M — an experimental architecture. It will be testing a new data mixture, a new tokenizer, and testing Qwen4-like n-gram embeddings.
Following this will be Boris-1.8-D60M-n30M, which will test both the n-gram embeddings AND a new architecture.
