  # NeoLLM
17
 
18
+ NeoLLM is a **135 M parameter** decoder-only language model trained from scratch on
19
+ [FineWeb-Edu](https://huggingface.co/datasets/HuggingFaceFW/fineweb-edu) in **FP8**
20
+ precision, completing training in approximately **6 hours** on a single NVIDIA RTX 5090.
21
+ It integrates a collection of recently published attention and normalization techniques
22
+ into a single architecture, with the goal of studying how they interact during
23
+ pretraining. The model is actively being developed and the current checkpoint represents
24
+ an intermediate training state.

+
31
+ ## Architecture
32
+
33
+ NeoLLM is a decoder-only transformer with the following configuration:
34
+
35
+ | Parameter | Value |
36
+ |---|---|
37
+ | Hidden size | 512 |
38
+ | Layers | 12 |
39
+ | Attention heads | 8 |
40
+ | KV heads (GQA) | 4 |
41
+ | Head dim | 64 |
42
+ | Intermediate size | 1536 |
43
+ | Vocabulary | Qwen3 tokenizer (64,402 tokens) |
44
+ | Context length | 512 tokens |
45
+
46
+ ### Parameter breakdown
47
+
48
+ | Parameter bucket | Count |
49
+ |---|---|
50
+ | **Total parameters** | 116.22M (116,216,184) |
51
+ | **Embedding parameters** (tied) | 32.97M (32,973,824) |
52
+ | **Non-embedding parameters** | 83.24M (83,242,360) |
53
+ | **Effective trainable parameters** | 116.22M (116,216,184) |
54
+
55
+ > Weight tying is **enabled**: the input embedding matrix and the language-model head
56
+ > share the same parameters, so the effective trainable budget is
57
+ > `total − embed = 83.24M`.
58
+
59
+ ### Integrated techniques
60
+
61
+ NeoLLM combines architecture modules, optional auxiliary objectives, and
62
+ training-time optimizer/stability components from the following papers.

80

159
+ Optional threshold-free gradient magnitude stabilizer.
160
+ - **PACE** ([arXiv:2606.25086](https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.25086)) —
161
+ Optional iterate-average controller that trains for the EMA model returned at evaluation
162
+ and final serialization. The Conda-basis adaptation and its difference from AdamW are
163
+ documented below.
164
+
165
+ ---
166
+
167
+ ### PACE integration and AdamW-reference differences
168
+
169
+ PACE follows Au and Block's returned-model objective: the live weights are pulled toward a
170
+ power-law EMA with a clipped per-coordinate gain, and evaluation/final serialization use that
171
+ EMA estimator.
172
+
173
+ - **Reference AdamW rule:** the gain uses AdamW's original-coordinate diagonal
174
+ second moment, `eta * c * (1+t)^(-kappa) / (sqrt(v_hat) + eps)`.
175
+ - **NeoLLM Conda rule (`mode=conda`):** for projected 2-D tensors, both the EMA
176
+ displacement and `v_hat` are represented in Conda's cached SVD basis. The control is
177
+ projected back after applying the diagonal gain. This is a deliberate change from AdamW
178
+ required to avoid mixing incompatible coordinate systems.
179
+ - **Optional exact AdamW pullback geometry (`mode=adamw`):** an additional
180
+ original-coordinate second moment is maintained for projected matrices. The live optimizer
181
+ step remains Conda.
182
+ - **Conda scale:** in `mode=conda`, Conda's matrix-update scale multiplies the unsaturated
183
+ gain automatically because it is part of the effective Conda preconditioner. AdamW has no
184
+ corresponding scale.
185
+ - **Fixed algorithm internals:** the EMA is stored in FP32, the gain is clipped at `1`, and PACE
186
+ reuses each Conda group’s numerical epsilon. These are not exposed as independent switches.
187
+ - **Minimal modes:** `use_pace=False` is plain Conda; `use_pace=True, c=0` is Conda+EMA;
188
+ `use_pace=True, c>0` is complete PACE.
189
+ - **Ordering:** PACE runs only after Conda, CWD/CHD, and weight-decay correction have fully
190
+ updated the live weights.
191
+ - **Disabled guarantee:** with `use_pace=False`, no PACE state is allocated and no existing
192
+ Conda arithmetic or parameter update is changed.
193
+ - **Checkpoint policy:** resumable internal checkpoints retain live weights and complete optimizer
194
+ state, while evaluation and the final returned/Hub model always use the EMA when PACE is active.
195
+
196
+ Current run: **disabled; no EMA state, auxiliary moment, or pullback is allocated**.

+ ## Limitations
226
+
227
+ - **Token budget** — ~1.5 B tokens seen; below estimated optimum. Knowledge-intensive tasks
228
+ will improve with more training.
229
+ - **Gradient spike at step 40k** — Reorganized the attention pattern in layer 9 that
230
+ previously captured long-range token correlations. A checkpoint from ~step 38k is expected
231
+ to have better aggregate benchmark scores.
232
+ - **PolyNorm exclusivity** — The quadratic branch has become partially redundant with the
233
+ linear branch. Will be corrected in the next training run.
234
+ - **Base model only** — Not instruction-tuned or aligned; purely a next-token-prediction
235
+ base model.
