Learning-rate response

Compare trajectories.

Select one or more metrics.jsonl files. Files stay in your browser and are available until refresh. Comparison links include published runs only; import local files again after opening a link. Up to 8 curves can be compared.

Colour and marker identify each curve, matching the tray above. Solid lines are cosine-to-zero and dashed lines are WSD; bands show sample SD across published seeds. Dotted lines show individual local runs, which are unchanged by the seed control. Curves show recorded training-window or subset-validation losses, joined without smoothing. Final full-validation results are the separate values below.

Matched comparisons for this configuration

Same horizon, LR, betas, and seeds. Differences are right minus left; paired SD describes per-seed differences. Schedule comparisons still have different training histories and trainer versions.
