-# Documenting my process for determining the hyperparameters for this run1000.sh script:
-# We want a budget of approx. $1000 ~= 41.6 hours of 8XH100 compute
-# 1) I guessed the model size for this to be about depth=32
-# 2) Determine the device_batch_size that fits:
-# Running the base_train.py script with --depth=32, I saw that --device_batch_size=16
-# runs out of memory, but --device_batch_size=8 fits. Inspecting `nvidia-smi` during training,
-# I saw all GPUs were at about 78/80GB VRAM, so it just barely fits and we have good MFU at ~50%.
-# So the training script was running ok and showed:
-# Vocab size: 65,536
-# num_layers: 32
-# model_dim: 2048
-# num_heads: 16
-# num_kv_heads: 16
-# Tokens / micro-batch / rank: 8 x 2048 = 16,384
-# Tokens / micro-batch: 131,072
-# Total batch size 524,288 => gradient accumulation steps: 4
-# Number of parameters: 1,879,048,192
-# Estimated FLOPs per token: 1.207960e+10
-# Calculated number of iterations from target data:param ratio: 71,680
-# Total number of training tokens: 37,580,963,840
-# Tokens : Params ratio: 20.00
-# Total training FLOPs estimate: 4.539628e+20
-# step 00004/71680 (0.01%) | loss: 8.813754 | lrm: 1.00 | dt: 1571.88ms | tok/sec: 83,385 | mfu: 50.92 | total time: 0.00m
-# step 00005/71680 (0.01%) | loss: 8.488074 | lrm: 1.00 | dt: 1572.76ms | tok/sec: 83,338 | mfu: 50.89 | total time: 0.00m
-# ...
-# 3) validate that the runtime fits our budget:
-# The training script uses the Chinchilla scaling law to compute-optimally set #tokens = 20 * #params. In particular:
-# The script shows that we will be training for 71,680 steps, and each step takes 1.574s so:
-# estimated time to train: 71,680 * 1.574s / 60 / 60 = 31.3 hours.
-# This is OK, fits our budget, and leaves ~10 hours for midtraining and SFT and evals and maybe RL.
-# It's possible that we might even fit depth=33 or depth=34, but for now let's go along with this.
-# 4) The last thing to pay attention to is the amount of training data required for the run.
-# The script above calculated that "Total number of training tokens: 37,580,963,840"
-# The tok_eval.py script reports about ~4.8 chars/token on average for the default tokenizer settings.
-# So ~38B tokens # ~4.8 chars/token = ~185B chars.
-# Each data shard is ~250M chars, so we need ~185B / 250M ~= 740 shards.
-# For safety, I bumped that up to 800 shards, and that's why up above I used -n 800 when pre-downloading dataset shards.
-# If we didn't have enough data, the training script would loop around and do multiple epochs over the same data,
-# which would decrease model performance. Possibly 2, 3 or so epochs is ~ok, but certainly not ideal and at 10+ epochs we'd
-# start to overfit hard.
-# 5) That's it, everything else (e.g. the learning rates) is adjusted automatically by the training script.
