# 🐺 Wildalign-350M-base
### Experimental Exotic Autoregressive Language Model

This repository hosts **Wildalign‑350M‑base**—an experimental, lightweight autoregressive language model designed to investigate the impact of high-quality "exotic" textual data on model alignment at the GPT-2 base parameter scale.

> ⚠️ **Critical Content Warning**
> The model's training corpus intentionally incorporates high-quality "exotic" textual data. Consequently, under specific prompt guidance, the model may generate content that falls under NSFW categories, including but not limited to mature/non-mainstream narratives, roleplay, or thematic scenarios. While the model remains safe for standard use cases, we advise caution and appropriate content filtering for public deployment.

---

## 🧠 Core Model Specifications

| Attribute | Details |
| :--- | :--- |
| **Architecture** | Autoregressive Decoder-Only |
| **Parameter Scale** | ~350 Million (Experimental small-scale) |
| **Training Hardware** | Single NVIDIA H100 GPU |
| **Training Duration** | ~110 Hours |
| **Training Precision** | `bfloat16` (`bf16`) |
| **Max Sequence Length** | 1,024 Tokens |

---

## 📚 Training Corpus Breakdown (Total: ~11B Tokens)

The dataset was deliberately partitioned into three distinct components to isolate the impact of the exotic data on general alignment:

1. **Public Mixed Educational/General Corpus** (10B tokens)
   * **Source:** `HuggingFaceFW/finepdfs_edu_50BT-dclm_30BT-fineweb_edu_20BT-shuffled`
   * **Purpose:** Serves as the foundational, high-quality mainstream baseline.
2. **Mathematics Specialized Corpus** (~1B tokens)
   * **Source:** `HuggingFaceTB/finemath`
   * **Purpose:** Injects structured, logical reasoning capabilities.
3. **High-Quality Exotic Text Corpus** (0.3B tokens)
   * **Processing:** Strictly curated and distilled from 20GB of raw data down to 1GB of high-density content.
   * **Content Type:** Well-crafted narratives, storytelling, and complex roleplay scenarios.

---

## 🎯 Research Objectives & Preliminary Findings

### Primary Research Question
*Does the inclusion of high-quality "exotic" or mature story-based textual data fundamentally derail or negatively impact the alignment of small-scale language models?*

### Preliminary Insights (Measured at 3B token checkpoint)
1. **No Alignment Degradation:** We observed no statistically significant negative impact on core model alignment resulting from the inclusion of exotic data.
2. **Architectural Compatibility:** Exotic long-form narrative content is not intrinsically problematic for long-attention architectures, though practical deployment still heavily relies on robust content moderation.
3. **Scalability Proof-of-Concept:** Achieving these stable results on a small-scale model provides a valid, resource-efficient proof-of-concept for larger-scale alignment research.

## 📈 Baseline Evaluation Results

*Note: This model was explicitly developed for alignment research rather than zero-shot benchmark dominance. Zero-shot accuracy was not optimized for, resulting in expected baseline performance metrics.*

## 📋 Nomenclature

The name **"Wildalign"** is a portmanteau of **"Wild/Exotic"** (referencing our deliberate use of non-mainstream data components) and **"Alignment"** (the core research focus). The moniker reflects our primary study goal: navigating the wild to determine if mixing mainstream rules with unusual data sources disrupts model safety and coherence.
