# 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.

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.
