The `train_gpt.py` and `train_gpt_mlx.py` scripts are intended as good launching-off points for new participants, not SOTA configs. We'll accept PRs that tune, improve, or simplify these scripts without significantly increasing complexity, but competitive submissions should stay in the `/records` folder.
Hard stop: To keep readable for newcomers, let's make sure `train_gpt.py` and `train_gpt_mlx.py` never are longer than 1500 lines.
