Here’s the comprehensive summary:

================================================================ GPT-2 124M TRAINING — github-code dataset ================================================================

MODEL Architecture: GPT-2 124M (12 layers, 12 heads, 768 embd) Parameters: ~124M Dropout: 0.0 Bias: False

DATASET Name: github-code Location: /mnt/data/zz/datasets/github-code-tok Total tokens: ~14B

TRAINING CONFIG Batch size: 4 × 1024 tokens × 8 grad accum = 32,768 tokens/step Total steps: 427,000 Learning rate: 6e-4 → 6e-5 (cosine decay, 2000 warmup) Optimizer: AdamW (β1=0.9, β2=0.95, wd=0.1) Grad clip: 1.0 Compiled: Yes

CURRENT PROGRESS Iteration: 234,000 / 427,000 = 54.8% Tokens seen: ~7.67B / 14B Latest ckpt: step 234,000 (saved to out-github-code-124m/ckpt.pt, 1.4GB)

LOSS TRAJECTORY Step 187,000: train 3.1404, val 3.1927 Step 234,000: train 2.6758, val 2.6576 Trend: ↓ steadily improving, ~0.46 drop over 47k steps

HARDWARE STATUS (RTX 4070) GPU util: 100% Mem util: 51% VRAM: 5,283 / 12,282 MiB (43%) Temp: 66°C Power: 207.5W MFU: 14.43% Step time: 622ms

ESTIMATED TIME REMAINING ~193,000 steps left × 622ms = ~33.5 hours (~1.4 days) Completion: roughly June 25 evening

HEALTH Training is healthy. Loss is decreasing smoothly, val loss tracks train loss closely (no overfitting). GPU is fully utilized at reasonable temps. Checkpoints saving normally ================================================================
