""" WiggleGPT v3 - model_bio.py =========================== Optimized GPT with Bio-Inspired Neurons - Training Speed Improvements ===================================================================== Extended from model_bio.py with modern training optimizations while preserving the core WiggleGPT architecture. New optimizations: 1. RMSNorm - Faster alternative to LayerNorm (~7% speedup, simpler computation) 2. Rotary Position Embeddings (RoPE) - More efficient than learned embeddings 3. Gradient checkpointing support - Trade compute for memory 4. Better initialization - GPT-NeoX style depth scaling 5. Flash Attention 2 hints - Better kernel selection These optimizations preserve the core model config (n_layer, n_head, n_embd, etc.) and bio-inspired features (oscillating activations, sparse events).
