BabyLM 2026 — MultiLingual track baseline v2 (byte-premium-uniform, WSD)

Iteration v2 of the byte-premium-uniform trilingual baseline. Same architecture, same tokenizer, same mixture as v1 (Shamima/babylm-2026-multilingual-uniform-100M), but trained with a Warmup-Stable-Decay schedule rather than cosine, on the same 100M ref-token budget at the same per-step compute. The motivation: v1's cosine schedule decayed to 10% of peak by ~90% through training while loss was still falling; WSD holds at peak and only decays in the last 25%, which lets more of the budget land at productive learning rates.

Architecture

Llama (HF LlamaForCausalLM) — RoPE, RMSNorm, SwiGLU, no biases, tied embeddings
12 layers · 768 hidden · 12 heads · 2048 FFN
1024 sequence length
110,119,680 parameters
Tokenizer: joint byte-level BPE 32 768 (same as v1; reused so the two are directly comparable)

Training

Data: BabyBabelLM 2026 100M tier (EN/NL/ZH); full corpora loaded in memory and shuffled
Mixture: byte-premium-uniform via deficit-driven selection (1/3 of reference tokens per language)
Optimiser: AdamW (β1=0.9, β2=0.95, wd=0.1)
LR: 6e-4 peak, WSD schedule (warmup 200 → constant peak → linear 25% decay tail to 6e-5)
Compute: 4× NVIDIA A10G (23 GB), bf16, DDP, micro-batch 16 × grad-accum 2 (eff. batch 128 sequences = 131k tokens/step)
Tokens consumed at this checkpoint: 100,016,896 byte-premium-adjusted reference tokens (= 1 epoch over the corpus)
Per-language epochs at this checkpoint: ~1.0 each (well within the BabyLM ≤10-epoch cap)
