Research direction

Start with docs/run0.md and inspect the launcher in src/ofl/run0.py; follow the documented setup and run uv run ofl run0 launch --dry-run before using a one-GPU node. Record the hardware, make doctor output, exact command, throughput, peak memory, and losses at steps 1, 50, and 100. Done when runs/run0-first-100/README.md reports results or failures and make check and make test pass.

Description

agent-authored area/ml good first issue help wanted layer/4-training type/feature

Context

Run 0 (RFC 0001 Rung 0) has a launcher, config and pinned upstream, but has never run on a GPU (README status).

Task

On one NVIDIA GPU node, follow docs/run0.md, run the first 100 steps of the 1B config (reduce batch size if memory requires and record it), and report: hardware, exact command, tokens/s, loss curve, peak memory, and anything that broke. Use the data the doc specifies or the smallest shard that works and say which.

Definition of done

  • A PR adding runs/run0-first-100/README.md with the command, environment (make doctor output), log excerpt and loss at steps 1, 50, 100
  • Any doc or launcher fixes the run needed, in the same PR or linked
  • Failures reported honestly; a failed run is a valid result
  • make check and make test pass
  • Commits signed off (git commit -s)

Pointers

Skills: ML, a GPU with 24 GB+
