Training Details

Trained following the NemotronTerminal-8B paper hyperparameters. The model reaches a higher final loss (0.442 vs 0.360) as the Qwen3-8B reproduction but scores significantly lower on terminal benchmarks, likely due to architecture and tokenizer differences between Llama 3 and Qwen3.
