mk_cache_notebook.py -- build an EXECUTED .ipynb comparing the 2026-09-02
buggy-cache generative results against the 2026-09-03 corrected-cache retrain.

  usage: mk_cache_notebook.py [--out cache_fix_results.ipynb]

THREE CONDITIONS, and why the third is not a fix

  MATCHED-OLD  run7  weights + YARN_ORIG_MAXPOS=1024   as trained  (2026-09-02)
  MATCHED-NEW  run7' weights + YARN_ORIG_MAXPOS=4096   as trained  (2026-09-03)
  MISMATCH     run7  weights + YARN_ORIG_MAXPOS=4096   never trained this way

Only the two MATCHED conditions can credit or blame the cache parameterisation,
because in each the model is read out under the rotation it adapted to. The
MISMATCH row is kept because it is instructive -- it is better than matched-old
at 1-2k and at 16k, and catastrophically worse at 4k -- but a cache swap at eval
time is a different rotation function (low=14 high=32 vs low=7 high=25), not a
repair of the weights.

ALL NUMBERS ARE READ FROM CSV. The 2026-09-02 scored CSVs were cleaned off the
box (only empty .done markers remain under longeval_*/state/), but they survive
in the HF repo and are pulled back into old_eval_hf/ by the snapshot download.
Nothing here is transcribed from prose -- an earlier draft of this script did
hardcode values from EVAL_COMPARISON.md and three of them were wrong (the ~4k
mismatch cell is 16.0, not the 23.5 midpoint of a remembered "14-33" range; the
16,360 mismatch cell is 14.0, not 17.0).

# Does correcting the YaRN cache raise retrieval reach?

**1.06B β€” 36 layers, d_model 1536, 12q/4kv heads, head_dim 128, SwiGLU 4096,
vocab 50304, T=16384, YaRN scale 4.**

`YARNOps.cpp:57` defaults `YARN_ORIG_MAXPOS` to **1024**, but this model's base was
trained at context length **4096**. With scale 4 the YaRN ramp therefore targeted
`4 x 1024 = 4096` positions while the cache was *sized* 16384 β€” so every position
past ~4k sat outside the range the rotation was parameterised for. Every eval run
emitted the warning `seq_len(16384) != scale(4.000)*orig_maxpos(1024.0)=4096.0`.

Correcting it to 4096 makes `scale * orig == seq_len` exactly. But swapping the
cache **at eval time is not a fix** β€” the corrected ramp (`low=14 high=32`) is a
different function from the one the weights adapted to (`low=7 high=25`). The only
real test is to **retrain** under the corrected parameterisation, which is `run7'`.

| condition | weights | `YARN_ORIG_MAXPOS` | matched? |
|---|---|---|---|
| **matched-old** | run7 (2026-09-02) | 1024 | yes β€” as trained |
| **matched-new** | run7β€² (2026-09-03) | 4096 | yes β€” as trained |
| *mismatch* | run7 | 4096 | **no** β€” read out under a cache it never saw |

Scoring is substring-match on **generated** text (not teacher-forced NLL), greedy,
bf16, `MAX_NEW=24`. `niah_single` recalls a 7-digit number given its key, so the
guess floor is ~1e-7 and any non-zero rate is real retrieval. `T` is held at 16384
at every context length so the RoPE cache is identical across the sweep.

All numbers below are read from `summary.csv` / `depth_summary.csv`. The
2026-09-02 CSVs were cleaned off the box and recovered from the HF repo into
`old_eval_hf/`.

## 6. Reading this honestly

The numbers above answer the narrow question β€” *does the corrected cache raise
retrieval, measured generatively, under matched train/eval* β€” and nothing wider.
Three limits bound them:

**The headline is one cell, not the whole curve.** 1k-8k are unchanged within
error (+3.0, +0.0, -3.0, -2.0 pp, none resolvable). The only resolvable change is
at the full window: **0.0% -> 27.0%, +27.0pp**. So the corrected parameterisation
converted total failure at 16k into partial capability; it did **not** extend the
range where retrieval works most of the time (50% reach 6,987 -> 6,703 tok, i.e.
flat). Read as reach: the 10% threshold moves from ~14.3k to never crossing inside
the window, while the 50% threshold does not move.

**The loss confound is largely answered β€” in favour of the cache explanation.**
`run7'` finished at training loss **2.384** where the original run7 reached
**1.283**, and it was still descending at step 750. Before this eval, two readings
fit: the corrected geometry is genuinely harder to fit, or `run7'` is undertrained.
The data now discriminates. A model that were merely *undertrained* would be worse
or equal everywhere; `run7'` is instead **+27pp at 16k** while matching the old
model at every shorter length, and its depth-0.00 cell (the position farthest from
the question) rises 28.3% -> 37.0%. Higher LM loss together with better long-range
retrieval is what the buggy cache predicts: with `orig_maxpos=1024` the ramp
compressed positions past ~4k, which makes next-token prediction *easier* -- a 16k
window is presented as something much shorter -- while destroying the ability to
tell distant positions apart. The loss numbers are measuring different input
geometries and do not compare; the retrieval numbers do.

Residual caveat: `run7'` was still improving at step 750, so its 1k-8k cells could
be understated relative to a fully converged run. That direction of error would
only strengthen the conclusion, not reverse it.

**No U-shape, in any condition.** All three models rise monotonically from depth
0.00 to 1.00 with no primacy bump. This is pure recency, not lost-in-the-middle,
and correcting the cache did not introduce a primacy effect -- it lifted the whole
curve (most at 16k, where the old model had nothing to lift).

**Backward retrieval is untouched.** `val_backward` sits at 0-4% everywhere in both
conditions, against ~2.9% chance for a 35-word answer space. The model resolves
key->value and not value->key, and that is independent of the RoPE fix.

**Sample size.** N=100 per cell gives a 95% Wilson half-width near +-10pp at
mid-range rates, and the old sweep cells were N=50 (+-~12pp). The `resolvable`
column in section 2 compares each delta against both cells' bars in quadrature and
is the guard against reading anything smaller as an effect.
