GPT2Medium EN/IT NanoChat — 31k decay checkpoint `step_33000`

This is an ordinary, non-official checkpoint release from a decay-only continual-pretraining branch. It is a candidate for comparison in the future 1gpu-llm-medium-v2 selection; it is not the definitive v2 release.

Released checkpoint

checkpoint: step_33000.pt
branch: 20260713_resume-gpt2medium-gpt2preln-k20-wsddecayonly-cpt14700-step31000-lr5e5-final1e5-webwiki-d2000
parent checkpoint: step_31000.pt
schedule: 2000 decay steps, final target step_33000, final LR 1e-5
languages: English + Italian
context window: 2500 tokens
architecture: GPT-2-style decoder with pre-layernorm blocks
architecture identifiers: architecture: gpt2, block_type: gpt2_prelayernorm
parameter count: 337,639,424 in the verified Transformers export
hardware: single RTX 4060 Ti 16GB

Selection and position

step_33000 is the scalar winner of the 31k decay branch:

val_loss_mixed = 4.4857
mixed perplexity: 88.74
val_loss_en = 4.4539
val_loss_it = 3.5831
local branch alternative step_32200: 4.4995

The endpoint is not automatically the best behavioral checkpoint. The branch has substantial repetition in generated samples. For comparison, the retained alternatives are step_31100 (cleanest repetition proxies) and step_31900 (best diversity proxies).

The current global scalar comparison remains:

step_34000 no-decay CPT: 4.4401
step_36000 d2000 from 34k: 4.4493
step_23100 d1800 from 22k: 4.4675
step_33000 d2000 from 31k: 4.4857

This checkpoint is therefore a branch winner and comparison candidate, not an official family release.

Training data

The model was trained on the bilingual EN/IT web + wiki corpus:

English FineWeb-HQ (epfml/FineWeb-HQ)
Italian FineWeb2-HQ (epfml/FineWeb2-HQ)
English and Italian Wiki40B (google/wiki40b)

Quick start

python

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
import torch

repo_id = "nazdef/20260713_resume-gpt2medium-step31000-d2000-step33000"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(repo_id)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(repo_id)

prompt = "La capitale d'Italia è"
prompt_ids = tokenizer(prompt, return_tensors="pt", add_special_tokens=False)
bos = torch.tensor([[tokenizer.bos_token_id]], dtype=prompt_ids["input_ids"].dtype)
input_ids = torch.cat([bos, prompt_ids["input_ids"]], dim=1)
attention_mask = torch.ones_like(input_ids)
outputs = model.generate(
    input_ids=input_ids,
    attention_mask=attention_mask,
    do_sample=True,
    max_new_tokens=64,
    temperature=0.8,
    top_k=50,
    top_p=0.95,
    repetition_penalty=1.1,
    eos_token_id=tokenizer.eos_token_id,
    pad_token_id=tokenizer.pad_token_id,
)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

This is a base pretraining checkpoint, not an instruction-tuned chat model.
