Staged Factorial Screening Accelerates Budget-Constrained Model Pretraining
A structured approach using staged fractional-factorial design to efficiently screen hyperparameter combinations for micro-pretraining on single-GPU budgets. Researchers ran 613 experiments across multiple screening stages (2-10 min) to recover stable effect structures before larger searches. Directly applicable to practitioners optimizing training recipes under hardware constraints.

Reveals that open-weight LLMs with identical accuracy can have wildly different error distributions—treating a wrong date the same as a fabricated court ruling masks critical safety gaps. Introduces 10k-query benchmark with 0-4 severity scoring across 8 domains. Essential for practitioners deploying systems where error consequences vary dramatically.
Read more →Bilayer SIR Model Explains Synthetic Data Contamination Cascades
Models cross-contamination in AI ecosystems where synthetic data from one model pollutes training corpora for others, causing cascading model collapse. Uses epidemiological framework to predict contamination spread across coupled model and corpus populations. Critical for understanding dataset quality degradation in production pipelines.
