After grading, a reviewer model reads the submission's files and the agent's trajectory and checks each of the task's rules. A failed check makes the score 0. Step numbers link into the trajectory.

architecture.json declares base_model "none" and base_revision "from-scratch". model.py builds the CausalTransformer itself and initializes Linear and Embedding weights with normal(0, 0.02). tokenizer_utils.py trains a new byte-level BPE tokenizer (vocab 4096) from the corpus files using tokenizers' BpeTrainer. Nothing calls from_pretrained or loads any checkpoint during training. The trajectory shows only package installs (tokenizers, numpy, safetensors, CPU torch) and no model downloads.

None of the shipped files embed weights, vocabularies, word tables or text passages. bytes_to_unicode is the standard algorithmic GPT-2 byte-to-character mapping, built in code rather than stored as data. The RoPE tables are computed from formulas. Everything else is hyperparameters. The vocab, tokenizer and weights are all produced by train.py at replay time.

train.py and tokenizer_utils.py read only $CORPUS_DIR/*.train.txt and write tokenizer.json, vocab.json, config.json, model.safetensors and train_log.json only to $OUTPUT_DIR. There is no network use and no other data path. The participant looked at validation.jsonl during development (length statistics only), but the shipped training code never reads it. The corpus is declared in architecture.json as the BabyLM 10M corpus provided at /corpus.

serve.sh runs server.py, which loads config.json, vocab.json, tokenizer.json and model.safetensors only from WEIGHTS_DIR, plus the submitted model.py. It does not read the corpus, any other data file or the network.

✓causal normalized scoringBoth /score and /dist run the same model, which uses causal attention (scaled_dot_product_attention with is_causal=True)

Both /score and /dist run the same model, which uses causal attention (scaled_dot_product_attention with is_causal=True), on BOS followed by the tokens. /score takes the log-prob at position i for token i, so each value depends only on the prefix. /dist applies log_softmax over the full vocabulary; the BOS logit is pushed to -1e9 in both endpoints alike, so the distribution stays normalized. Each request is handled independently, with no caching, request history or special-casing.

In steps 45 and 61 the participant printed environment variables to its own terminal, which showed GEMINI_API_KEY as the local proxy placeholder 'frontier-litellm-proxy'. That was inspection only. No step uses the key or GOOGLE_GEMINI_BASE_URL from the participant's own code, copies them into files or Spin machines, or launches extra harness CLIs. The only network activity found was pip installs and curl calls to the participant's own local server.

LLM adversarial review is not proof of arbitrary program behavior. Host storage and task-specific deterministic checks remain required.

frontier selfcheck runs the submission on the grading infrastructure against public examples and reports each gate, so the agent can catch problems before grading. Each run gets four. This agent used 2 of 4.

Summary of Implementation

Tokenizer (tokenizer_utils.py):
- Trained a Byte-level BPE tokenizer (vocabulary size 4096) directly from the provided 10M-word BabyLM training corpus in $CORPUS_DIR.
- Included special token <|bos|> mapped to index 0, with complete representation of all 256 individual bytes ensuring zero out-of-vocabulary tokens.
- Built exact mapping from BPE token representations to raw UTF-8 bytes for /vocab hex strings and verified roundtrip exactness against arbitrary text.
Model Architecture (model.py):
- Modern LLaMA-style decoder-only causal transformer: 10 layers, hidden dimension 512, 8 attention heads (head dim 64), SwiGLU MLP (intermediate dim 1536), RMSNorm, and Rotary Position Embeddings (RoPE).
- Tied input embeddings and output projection weights, totaling ~36.2M parameters.
- Causal masking using PyTorch's native scaled_dot_product_attention.
Training Script (train.sh & train.py):
- Efficient batch tokenization of the corpus.
- Mixed-precision training (bfloat16/float16 AMP) with AdamW optimizer, cosine learning rate schedule with warmup, gradient clipping, and time budgeting referencing $TRAIN_BUDGET_SECONDS and $REPLAY_START.
- Serialized trained model weights to model.safetensors alongside tokenizer.json, vocab.json, and config.json into $OUTPUT_DIR.
Inference Server (serve.sh & server.py):
- Implemented standard library multi-threaded HTTP server responding to /health, /vocab, /score, and /dist.
- Pre-tokenizes inputs prepending <|bos|>, masks <|bos|> logits, and computes double-precision normalized log-probabilities.
- Guaranteed exact mathematical agreement between /score and /dist (0 nats difference) and strict truncation consistency.
Validation and Self-Check:
- Verified locally against python /task/validate.py.
- Tested through frontier selfcheck on the H100 evaluation environment, passing all gates and audits:
  - train.sh wall clock: PASSED (64s / 198s vs 3600s budget)
  - startup: PASSED (~3.2s vs 300s limit)
  - /dist normalization: PASSED (0 nats error vs 0.001 limit)
  - /score vs /dist agreement: PASSED (0 nats vs 0.02 limit)
  - Truncation consistency: PASSED (0 nats vs 0.02 limit)
- Final submission confirmed via frontier submit --confirm.
