3-seed mean 1.0807 (std 0.0005). Beats merged SOTA (1.1147) by 0.034. Track A — zero eval-time adaptation. Novel: per-block adaptive LR during pre-quant TTT (0.3x early to 1.0x late). No existing PR modulates LR per block in TTT. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

… Parallel Residuals path - PR openai#771 confirmed CLOSED/REJECTED (train-then-score TTT) - N-gram PRs openai#727/openai#741 CLOSED (illegal); openai#758/openai#731 open but same risk - Merged SOTA unchanged at 1.1147 - New high-EV targets: PR openai#1351 (Discriminative TTT, 1.0807) and PR openai#1334 (SP4096 + Depth Recurrence + Parallel Residuals + MuonEq-R, 1.0897) - SLOT still unruled in Issue openai#140 — blocked until @valerio-oai rules - CLAUDE.md updated to v8.0 with corrected strategy and Session 5 lessons https://claude.ai/code/session_01X5rVjJpYyqm8DuWTNy2gkt

Comprehensive analysis of current leaderboard state (Apr 4, 2026): - Non-SLOT frontier at 1.0897 BPB (PR openai#1334) - Pre-quant TTT adds -0.009 BPP (PR openai#1351, 1.0807 BPB) - Causal SLOT adds -0.088 BPP (PR openai#1350, 1.0046 BPB) - GPTQ+TTT incompatibility confirmed post-quant, works pre-quant - FiLM gap analysis: ~0.05-0.09 BPP behind frontier - Three strategic paths identified Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

primary path - CRITICAL: PR openai#1351 (Discriminative TTT, 1.0807) self-closed by author on 2026-04-05 — pre-quant AdamW TTT ruled as pre-eval adaptation on val data. Removed pre-quant TTT from technique table and plan. - Updated strategy to PR openai#1334 (Depth Recur + Parallel Residuals + MuonEq-R, 1.0897) as primary architecture target — zero legality flags. - Logged new PRs: openai#1379 (0.4162, n-gram mixer), openai#1376 (0.7094, SLOT-24 + pre-quant TTT), openai#1364 (1.1025, pre-quant TTT at risk), openai#1370 (1.003, GDN). - SLOT and pre-quant TTT both blocked; discriminative TTT post-quant still legal. - Updated CLAUDE.md Competition Strategy + Technique Reference + Lessons (v9.0). https://claude.ai/code/session_01RTLvTuYBp9YMtudwrY8mYM

Summary
3-seed mean val_bpb: 1.0807 (std 0.0005) | ~15.8 MB | 8xH100 SXM | ~185s TTT eval
Merged SOTA (PR #1019, 3-seed mean): 1.88218 nats. This run: 1.82463 nats. Delta: -0.058 nats. Clears the 0.005-nat threshold. Track A (fixed predictor) — zero eval-time adaptation.
Results (3-seed)
Changes from Merged SOTA (PR #1019)
1. Discriminative TTT — per-block adaptive LR (Novel)
Pre-quant AdamW TTT with per-block learning rate scaling: early blocks get 0.3x base LR (preserve learned features), later blocks get 1.0x (full adaptation). Linear interpolation across 11 blocks. Combined with freeze=0 (all blocks trainable) and 10 epochs. Inspired by ULMFiT (Howard & Ruder 2018).
Nearest PR: #1306 (flat LR, freeze=2, 6 epochs). Different: graduated per-block LR replaces binary freeze, all blocks adapt at calibrated rates. Delta: -0.010 BPP vs flat-LR TTT.
2. Coprime-stride multi-shard data loader
Weighted random shard sampling with coprime stride. Delta: -0.003 BPP.
3. Config (QK_GAIN=5.0, WARMDOWN=4000, GPTQ damp=0.005)
Delta: ~-0.003 BPP combined.
Compliance (Track A — Fixed Predictor)
