Training Progress: Halfway Point Reached | Generated by AI
Update: 35,436 → 39,923
Progress:
- Step 39,923 / 87,000 – 45.89% (from 40.7%)
- Elapsed: 830 min (~13.8h)
- ETA: 979 min (~16.3h) remaining
- Gained ~4,487 steps since last check
Loss: Still bouncing 1.25 - 1.37 – no real improvement. LR dropped to 0.84 (cosine schedule), but loss variance hasn’t tightened.
Perf: Stable ~1.28s/step, ~51K tok/s. Slightly faster than before (was 1.32s).
Bottom line: Halfway through. LR is decaying but loss hasn’t responded yet – the next ~10K steps (LR down to ~0.6) will reveal whether this model has more to give or is near its floor on this dataset.
