Update SOTA section: N-gram two-pass rescoring achieves 0.0935–0.1181 BPB (10× better than merged SOTA 1.1194). Mark PR openai#870 full-rescore as legality disputed; PR openai#868 score-first two-pass as likely legal. Update Current Best Path to prioritize N-gram implementation over architecture tuning. https://claude.ai/code/session_01PQ1Hsdv2fxFUfnpqCYz3X8

Merge remote's two-pass n-gram discoveries (PR openai#868 0.1181, PR openai#870 0.0935) with today's extreme n-gram findings (PR openai#945 0.0274, PR openai#961 0.0881). Keep Architecture Decisions and Legal TTT Protocol from remote. Add Lessons Learned 17-20 from 2026-03-27 research. https://claude.ai/code/session_01Bpr2fKEnkNQmNKno8EnxWF

Two-pass submissions like these leak eval tokens, since on the second pass you're evaling tokens you've trained on in the first. Closed for now. |
