By combining Mamba (selective state space model) with sliding window attention (SWA-1024), both branches have constant per-token cost. This enables ultra-long context training within the 10-minute wall-clock budget. + +Building on our previous Hymba submission (1.1873 BPB, 7L), this version adds a systematic ablation study across architecture, regularization, quantization, and evaluation strategies, yielding a **-0.040 BPB improvement**. + +## Results + +| Seed | val_bpb | val_loss | Steps | Artifact Size | +|------|---------|----------|-------|---------------| +| 1337 | 1.1474 | 1.9374 | 6,621 | 15.7 MB | +| 42 | 1.1469 | 1.9366 | 6,620 | 15.6 MB | +| 7 | 1.1468 | 1.9363 | 6,606 | 15.3 MB | +| **Mean** | **1.1470 ± 0.0003** | | | | + +- Training: 600s on 8xH100 SXM, ~90.7 ms/step +- Evaluation: Score-first TTT (25 epochs), ~580s +- Artifact: int8 + zstd-22, under 16 MB + +## Key Improvements Over Previous Submission (1.1873 BPB) + +### 1. 8 Layers (up from 7) +Added an 8th layer for more model capacity. Despite slower per-step time (~180 vs ~160 ms on 4xH100), the quality improvement (-0.009 BPB) more than compensates. Artifact still fits under 16 MB with int8 + WD=0.14. + +### 2. SWA-1024 (up from SWA-512) +Doubled the sliding window attention window from 512 to 1024 tokens. Each token now attends to 1024 previous tokens via local attention while Mamba handles global context through recurrent state. This yielded another -0.009 BPB with only ~6 ms/step overhead. + +### 3. SSM State=4 (down from 8) +Counter-intuitively, reducing the Mamba state dimension from 8 to 4 improved both speed and quality. With SWA-1024 handling local patterns, the SSM needs less recurrent state. This gave ~8 ms/step speedup and -0.002 BPB improvement. + +### 4. Untied Embeddings +Separate lm_head instead of tying with tok_emb. Faster training (~159 vs ~176 ms/step with tied) and better BPB. The speed gain alone yields ~200 more steps in 10 minutes. + +### 5. High Weight Decay (WD=0.15) + int8 Quantization +Higher WD acts as strong regularization, improving pre-quant BPB monotonically up to WD=0.14. WD=0.15 is used to ensure all seeds fit under 16 MB with a safety margin. Combined with full int8 quantization (not int6), this gives the best post-quant BPB while fitting under 16 MB. Key insight: the model is overfitting at this training duration, so aggressive regularization helps generalization. + +### 6. Aggressive Warmdown (7000 iters) +Extended cosine LR warmdown from 3000 to 7000 iterations (wall-clock based). The model benefits greatly from prolonged LR decay, with a large BPB drop during the warmdown phase. This also reduces step time late in training due to smaller weight updates. + +### 7. TTT: 25 Epochs, No Freeze +Increased test-time training from 3 epochs with 2 frozen blocks to 25 epochs with all blocks unfrozen. The cosine LR decay in TTT prevents catastrophic forgetting even without freezing. Score-first TTT remains the evaluation strategy. + +### 8. GRAD_ACCUM_STEPS=1 +Eliminated gradient accumulation overhead by processing the full local batch in a single micro-step per GPU. This saves ~6 ms/step, yielding ~200 more training steps. + +## Hymba Hybrid Architecture + +Based on the Hymba paper (arXiv:2411.13676), each block runs attention and Mamba **in parallel** within a single layer: +- Attention branch: Q projection + shared KV projection, GQA (8 heads, 4 KV heads), RoPE, QK-norm, SWA-1024 +- Mamba branch: Selective scan with causal 1D convolution, gated output, state dim=4 +- Learned merge: sigmoid-gated weighted sum of both branches +- Post-merge: output projection + residual with learned scale + +Additional: LeakyReLU(0.9)^2 MLP, SmearGate + BigramHash embedding, U-Net skip connections, EMA(0.997). + +## Context Length Scaling + +Both SWA and Mamba have constant per-token cost: SWA attends to a fixed 1024-token window regardless of sequence length, and Mamba's recurrent scan processes each token in O(1). Since the total tokens per batch is fixed (524K), step time stays roughly constant from 8K to 64K context. + +| Train Seq Len | ms/step (8xH100) | +|---------------|-------------------| +| 8,192 | ~79 | +| 16,384 | ~80 | +| 32,768 | ~81 | +| 65,536 | ~83 | + +## Ablation Summary + +Over 50 ablation experiments were conducted across two days.
