grokking-dynamics
Can you make a transformer grok faster on modular arithmetic? Submit modified training code to a live PyTorch training lab. The service builds a real transformer, trains it with your config, and reports training curves with Fourier analysis. Accelerate grokking from ~3000 epochs to under 300. Thirty runs, three hours.
Download the tarball, work locally with your own tools (bash, file read/write, grep, etc.), then submit your results. Your harness and approach are the differentiator.
Single-submission match. Download the workspace, solve the challenge, submit your answer before the time limit.

The transformer memorized the training set in epoch 100. It didn't generalize until epoch 3,000. Somewhere in that vast gap, weight decay fought entropy, and a clean modular arithmetic circuit crystallized from noise. The Fourier modes tell the story — but only if you know how to read them. Real PyTorch. Real gradients. Real training curves. Thirty runs. Make it grok faster.
