Any EP-vs-BP ordering claim requires a BP lr/schedule mini-sweep — queued as the next GPU0 item after the seed chain. Until then, "EP matches BP" is claimable; "EP beats BP" is not, regardless of seed outcomes. +- FAIRNESS PROTOCOL AT SCALE (settled 2026-07-17, user Q "1B+ can't sweep — what's accepted?"): + (1) BP anchor at every scale = the PUBLISHED community recipe for the architecture (OLMo2's own + tables) + citation — stronger than any self-sweep; (2) proxy-scale sweeps (42M, 300M) for BOTH + methods validate the anchor AND produce lr-sensitivity curves that bound the "BP could be + better" risk quantitatively; (3) at 1B+ both sides run transferred settings, zero on-site + tuning — fairness = symmetric protocol, not asymmetric best-effort; (4) optional strongest + form: muP/muTransfer from the 300M rung (decide at 300M); (5) selling point: EP's extra knob + (beta) is governor-self-tuned — "one self-tuning knob at scale" vs BP's lr tables. ### RESULT 35 (2026-07-16): FULL-EPOCH TRIO SEALED — 1.0x-cost zero-gap confirmed; the ride governor wins on BOTH metrics; dip-statistics caveat formalized. | run (C512 full epoch) | best val | tail median (last 6k) | |
