| # Slayer1B 1.06 |
|
|
| Decoder-only language model, 1 073 912 851 parameters, Polish-dominant. **Slayer1B 1.06 is Slayer1B 1.05 trained to |
| the end of the corpus**: training resumed from the final checkpoint of 1.05 (step 12870, constant learning rate 6e-4) |
| and continued to step 13848, which completes one full pass over the prepared corpus (14 520 680 448 tokens in total, |
| ≈ 13.5 tokens per parameter). |
|
|
| **1.06 is a constant-learning-rate state**: no learning-rate decay and no context extension were applied. It is the |
| final checkpoint of the first pass over the corpus; further training of the Slayer1B line may continue from it. |

|
|
| ## Training |
|
|
| - Same model, tokenizer, corpus order and global batch as 1.05: 256 sequences × 4096 tokens = 1 048 576 tokens per |
| step, constant learning rate 6e-4. |
| - Steps 12870 → 13848 (978 steps, 1 025 507 328 tokens) on 8× NVIDIA L40S. This last segment is shorter than the |
| 2860-step segments of 1.04 and 1.05 because it ends where the corpus ends; it was not padded with repeated data. |
| - Data: [SlayerLab/slayer-pl-8x3b](https://huggingface.co/datasets/SlayerLab/slayer-pl-8x3b), one pass, each training |
| token seen once. |
|
|
| ## Training-time evaluation |
|
|
| Measured during training with the run's automatic evaluator (one instrument, NVIDIA A100, zero-shot). These are |
| **not** the lm-evaluation-harness benchmark used in the Results table of 1.00–1.03 and are not directly comparable |
| with it. |
|
|
| | metric | 1.04 (10010) | 1.05 (12870) | **1.06 (13848)** | |
| |---|---:|---:|---:| |
| | BLiMP (EN), accuracy % | 74.17 | 75.53 | **76.12** | |
| | ARC-Easy (EN), accuracy % | 50.59 | 52.19 | **52.99** | |
| | WikiText-2, byte perplexity ↓ | 2.3078 | 2.2816 | **2.2849** | |
| | WikiText-2, token perplexity ↓ | 31.29 | 29.86 | **30.03** | |
| | MultiBLiMP (PL), accuracy % | 98.87 | 98.47 | **98.41** | |
| | ARC-Easy (PL, eu20), accuracy % | 44.02 | 45.20 | **45.03** | |
|
|
| The lm-evaluation-harness benchmark (HellaSwag, PIQA, LAMBADA, ARC-Challenge, BoolQ, MMLU) has not been run on 1.06 yet. |
| The benchmark caveat of the 1.03 card (n-gram overlap of the English shared part with BoolQ, MMLU and ARC test items) |
| applies to this release as well: steps up to 7192 (1.00–1.03 and the first 42 steps of the continuation) used the |
| unfiltered data. From step 7193 (pack-04) on, the 5133 documents with n-gram overlap with BoolQ / MMLU / ARC test |
| items are excluded (list sha256 `84caed78733c25a7d7bbe5f0c9c1ef1d2bb249793ef559f1b73f4b390995b445`). |

| ## Files |
|
|
| `model.safetensors` (weights), `config.json`, `tokenizer.json`, `load_slayer.py` (loader), `train_gpt_ref_r23.py` and |
| `SHA256SUMS`. The `config.json` records the sha256 of the source checkpoint `ckpt_13848.pt` |
| (`1fc7396ca1790805128244b2f827e02b9fe88e352534cd887d0c488f121d1e4d`, also published in the checkpoints repository). |
|
|
| `train_gpt_ref_r23.py` is the model definition (`GPT` class) imported by `load_slayer.py`; `trainer_sha256` in |
| `config.json` refers to this file. The continuation from 1.03 was trained with `train_gpt_ref` r24.1 |
| (sha256 `881cb055c38b73a24154d96e2359072e9c526f68875c41e0c1b4ed1c4b9eb62c`, steps 7150–10010) and r24.2 |
| (sha256 `46f83b51fcec18ffc3273d80fb9eab29e182c52d8667800dab27b80f7ff18afc`, steps 10010–13848); the architecture is unchanged. |
