Here’s the full summary of long-prompt generation quality:

================================================================
SEC-EDGAR 124M — LONG PROMPT GENERATION TEST RESULTS
(Step 37k/47.4k, val_loss 2.45, 78% trained)
================================================================

PROMPT 1: Notes to Financial Statements (ASC 606 revenue recognition)
- Input: 966 chars of proper accounting policy text
- Output: ~2000 chars of good continuation, then degenerates into
  repeating "The Company recognizes revenue when..." with slight
  variations, eventually hitting gibberish chars (vvvvvvvvv)
- Verdict: First 3-4 paragraphs are coherent and accurate SEC language

PROMPT 2: MD&A (biopharma company overview)
- Input: 1388 chars with clinical-stage company description
- Output: Continued the pharma narrative well — mentions ABC-123,
  lysosomal storage disorders, accumulated deficit $245.3M.
  Then loops hard on "raise additional capital" / "incur significant
  losses" for the remaining ~800 tokens
- Verdict: Good 2-3 paragraph continuation, then repetitive loop

PROMPT 3: Risk Factors (biopharma)
- Input: 1726 chars of risk factor boilerplate
- Output: Continues with COVID-19 pandemic risks, regulatory risks,
  financing risks. Mentions "CARVID-19" (hallucinated name). Loops
  on "raise additional financing" theme
- Verdict: Realistic risk factor language, some hallucination

PROMPT 4: Financial table with numbers
- Input: 2002 chars with a full P&L table + narrative explanation
- Output: Echoed the table correctly, continued with "increase in
  revenue was primarily driven by subscription platform grew 42%"
  (coherent!), then jumped to fiscal 2005/2004 dated content and
  loops on marketing/advertising expenses
- Verdict: Best continuation — first paragraph post-table is good

================================================================
PATTERN SUMMARY:
- Model handles NARRATIVE prompts (500+ chars) well for 2-4 paragraphs
- Falls into repetitive loops after ~300-500 generated tokens
- Tables/balance sheets loop faster (~200 tokens)
- "Revenue recognition" and "raise additional capital" are the
  biggest loop attractors — very common in training data
- Temperature 0.7 vs 0.8: less variation but same loop behavior
- Hallucinated facts (CARVID-19, fiscal 2005) show it's pattern
  matching, not factual recall
================================================================

This is typical for a 124M model at 78% training. The language quality
is solid — proper SEC jargon, realistic numbers, correct formatting.
The main weakness is degeneration into loops on longer generations,
which should improve slightly when training completes.
