MixtureVitaev2-100BT-cooldown-nemotron_cascade_sft_stage2
One arm of a 30-arm cooldown-data ablation on top of Qwen3-1.7B-Base, part of the MixtureVitae v2
scaling-experiment suite. Branches from a shared MixtureVitae-v1 100BT WSD base checkpoint (step 19,378 of the 24,222-step schedule, ~80BT seen, end of the constant-LR phase), then anneals for the final ~20BT (4,844 steps, LR decaying linearly to zero) on the dataset described below. Every arm starts from the identical base and spends the same ~20BT cooldown budget, so eval differences reflect the cooldown data only.
- Architecture: Qwen3-1.7B-Base (28L, hidden 2048, GQA 16q/8kv, head_dim 128, RMSNorm eps 1e-6, RoPE theta 1e6, QK-norm, no biases, tied embeddings)
- Tokenizer: Qwen3 tokenizer (Qwen2 BPE, vocab 151936)
- Cooldown dataset (this arm):
nemotron_cascade_sft_stage2 — nemotron_cascade_sft_stage2 : 23.0
