	# SPP-T0 — Base (1.7B)

	Type: base (pretrained) model. Not instruction-tuned and ships no chat template.

	Trained with Synthetic Persona Pretraining (SPP) from token zero: first-person reflections are inserted into the roughly 10% of annotated documents that carry one, throughout the entire pretraining run.

	## Synthetic Persona Pretraining (SPP)
	Synthetic Persona Pretraining (SPP) installs a target value persona during pretraining rather than only during alignment. Value-laden, first-person reflections, generated against a constitution, are appended to a subset of pretraining documents after a special `<assistant>` token. Attention masking and RoPE position aliasing keep the reflection from changing the continuation of the original document. This model is trained with SPP.

	Instruction-tuned counterpart: [`dlab-spp/t0-1.7b-instruct`](https://huggingface.co/dlab-spp/t0-1.7b-instruct).

	## Model details
	- Architecture: SmolLM2-1.7B architecture, trained from scratch.
	- Tokenizer: the SmolLM2 tokenizer extended with an `<assistant>` marker and constitution tokens (vocabulary 49280).
	- Pretraining: ~100B tokens on a subset of the Olmo 3 Dolma 3 mixture, with SPP reflections inserted into the safety-annotated documents within it.

	## Training checkpoints

	Intermediate checkpoints are published as git revisions on this repo, so any point in the trajectory can be loaded by passing `revision=`:

	```python
	from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
	import torch

	repo = "dlab-spp/t0-1.7b-base"
	tok = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(repo) # identical at every revision
	model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
	repo, revision="step-5000", dtype=torch.bfloat16, device_map="auto"
	)
	```

	\| Revision \| Pretraining step \| Tokens seen \| LR phase \|
	\|---\|---\|---\|---\|
	\| `step-5000` \| 5,000 / 50,863 \| ~9.8B \| stable \|
	\| `step-10000` \| 10,000 / 50,863 \| ~19.7B \| stable \|
	\| `step-15000` \| 15,000 / 50,863 \| ~29.5B \| stable \|
	\| `step-20000` \| 20,000 / 50,863 \| ~39.3B \| stable \|
	\| `step-25000` \| 25,000 / 50,863 \| ~49.2B \| stable \|
	\| `step-30000` \| 30,000 / 50,863 \| ~59.0B \| stable \|
	\| `step-35000` \| 35,000 / 50,863 \| ~68.8B \| stable \|
	\| `step-40000` \| 40,000 / 50,863 \| ~78.6B \| stable \|
	\| `step-45000` \| 45,000 / 50,863 \| ~88.5B \| stable \|
	\| `step-50863` \| 50,863 / 50,863 \| ~100B \| linear decay — same weights as `main` \|

	`main` always holds the finished model (step 50,863).
	Only model weights are published — optimizer and RNG state are not included, so these revisions support evaluation, probing, and fine-tuning, but not exact resumption of the original run.

	## Intended use
	Research on alignment and safety. As a base model it is meant for continuation, probing, or further fine-tuning; it is not instruction-tuned and can produce incorrect or unsafe content.
