From 2f8118fda90f2806099558cca6578ed724015963 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gahow Wang Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2026 16:34:18 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] test: tighten AdamW parity (f32 reference, 10 steps, allclose tol) The loss trajectory already matched torch.optim.AdamW (worst relerr ~2e-4), but the float64 torch reference diverged per-weight from the f32 GPU training after the model memorised the batch (flat region: weights underdetermined, loss identical). Fixes: run the torch reference in float32 (match engine precision), shorten to 10 steps (weights still well-determined), and compare final params with an allclose-style rtol+atol metric (a pure relative metric is misleading on near-zero weights).
