# large v1

- **preset:** large
- **training corpus:** data/large (see corpus_index.md / corpus_stats.txt)
- **trained:** 2026-06-18 13:58 (checkpoint mtime)
- **training wall-clock:** 208.2 min
- **final val loss:** 1.1111 (iter 23000)
- **parameters:** 49.72M | vocab 198
- **note:** v1 trained on the large corpus as of 2026-06-18 BEFORE the xlarge expansion: 1,085,579,228 chars / 248 authors / 22 categories / vocab 198 / best val 1.1111. The corpus_index.md + corpus_stats.txt in this dir have been CORRECTED to that true training set (the live data/large has since grown toward the xlarge ~2B target).

## Reproducing the corpus
`corpus_index.md` lists every author and work in the training set; re-run `python -m corpus add-author` / `add-topic` per that index and `make finalize` to rebuild an equivalent corpus.
