+Parameter Golf — Competitive Submission
+========================================
+Key innovations targeting top-of-leaderboard (< 1.08 BPB):
+
+1. SP8192 Vocabulary: 8192-token SentencePiece tokenizer for better BPB
+   efficiency. Larger vocab = fewer tokens = better compression.
+
+2. Parallel Residuals (PAF): Attention and MLP run in parallel on the same
+   normalized input, saving one LayerNorm and improving information flow.
+   x = x + attn(norm(x)) + mlp(norm(x))  [GPT-J / PaLM style]
+
+3. 3-Layer Depth Recurrence: 3 unique transformer blocks looped multiple
+   times. Layers 0-2 recur K times at train, 2K at eval (free test-time
+   compute). Selective recurrence on inner layers.
+
+4. Score-First TTT (Test-Time Training): At eval, adapt the model's MLP
+   W_down weights chunk-by-chunk using NTP loss. Legal = strictly causal.
+   Implements the In-Place TTT mechanism from arxiv:2604.06169.
+
+5. Int6 GPTQ Post-Training Quantization with SDClip:
+   - Train in full precision (bf16/fp32)
+   - After training, quantize all weight matrices to int6 using GPTQ
+   - Std-based clipping (SDClip) before quantization reduces outlier impact
+   - Embeddings in GPTQ int8 with SDClip
+   - ~1.5x more effective parameters vs int8 in the same 16MB budget
+
+6. MuonEq-R: Muon optimizer with equalized learning rates (scale by
+   sqrt(max(fan_in, fan_out))) and weight decay regularization.
+
+7. QK-Gain 5.25: High gain on QK product prevents attention entropy
+   collapse at small model dimensions.
+
+8. Residual mixing with x0 anchor preserved from baseline.
+
+Architecture:
+  SP8192 vocab, d_model=768, 12 heads / 4 KV heads, MLP 4x
+  3 unique blocks × 8 recurrences = 24 effective layers (train)
+  3 unique blocks × 16 recurrences = 48 effective layers (eval)
