Training status
Implemented: separate Ares/Xiphos checkpoints; causal decoder transformer; BPE tokenization; training/validation split enforcement; AdamW, warmup/cosine schedule, dropout, clipping, early stopping, best checkpoint; resume state; gradient accumulation; token accounting; CUDA mixed precision.
Not yet completed: a reviewed multi-source corpus; a completed GPU run; validation results; approved Ares/Xiphos weights. A checkpoint is not eligible for chat deployment until those gates are completed.
