Intermediate **pretraining checkpoints** of [FINAL-Bench/Aether-7B-5Attn](https://huggingface.co/FINAL-Bench/Aether-7B-5Attn), released for full reproducibility and training-dynamics research — the OLMo-tier "fully open" standard.

| Step | Tokens (approx) | Folder |
|------|-----------------|--------|
| 110,000 | ~98B | `step_110000/` |
| 115,000 | ~102B | `step_115000/` |
| 162,000 | ~144B (final pre-anneal base) | `step_162000/` |

The released base model is the **annealed** 162k checkpoint; these folders are the raw training checkpoints along the way.

Each folder contains `model.safetensors` + `config.json` + tokenizer. This is a **custom architecture** (`aether_v2_7way`) — load with the `aether_pkg/` code shipped in the [base model repo](https://huggingface.co/FINAL-Bench/Aether-7B-5Attn) (see its "How to load" section). Run inference at **batch_size = 1**.
