Goal of the artifact
You’re going to build a tiny ablation study: a script/notebook plus a short ablation_experiments.md that compare at least two model variants and log:
- validation loss
- tokens/sec (throughput)
The twist: you’ll vary architecture knobs (layers/heads, width, sequence length) in a controlled way so you can say “this change likely caused that effect”.
We’ll walk this in four layers:
- Layers & heads
- Embedding dim & MLP size
- Sequence length
- Experiment design for fair comparisons (what your
ablation_experiments.mdshould capture)
