+# Kimi K3 第五轮前置审计：Attention Residuals 的“梯度更均匀”到底指什么
+
+> 审计日期：2026-07-30（Asia/Shanghai）  
+> 官方仓库：`MoonshotAI/Attention-Residuals@85e22310fe5ee860b4a023de312d791de8a5a5e6`  
+> 官方 PDF SHA-256：`e5831b0db1347606453b5176b0142115a18887b6a9c2e1d05a266d4805a26b2f`  
+> 结论性质：一手工件审计，不是新的实验结果
+
+## 0. 先说结论
+
+K3 Round 04 的反结果——Block AttnRes 的**核心参数梯度 RMS 跨层 CV 更高**——不能直接
+反驳 Attention Residuals 论文 Figure 5(c) 所说的“梯度分布更均匀”，因为两边很可能测的
+不是同一个对象：
+
+```text
+Round 04：
+每个 Transformer block 内所有核心参数梯度拼接后的 RMS
+∇θL，θ = attention + MLP + 两个输入 norm 的参数
+
+论文 Figure 5(c)：
+图题只写 “Each transformer block's gradient magnitude”
+结合 Figure 5(b) 的 block output magnitude 和正文，最自然的操作化是
+每个 block 输出 activation 的梯度 ∂L/∂h_l
+```
+
+但“最自然”不等于“官方已经明确定义”。论文和当前官方仓库都没有给出足以唯一重建
+Figure 5(c) 的测量合同，也没有发布训练代码。因此，下一轮不会把自己的 activation-gradient
+定义冒充成论文原始实现，而会把它命名为：
+
+> **与 Figure 5 叙述对齐的一种公开、冻结、可复现的 operationalization**
+
+这一区分很重要：参数梯度回答“这一层的权重此刻收到多大更新信号”，activation 梯度回答
+“损失对这一深度的表征有多敏感”。二者相关，但不会因为链式法则而自动同方向。
+
+---
+
+## 1. 官方工件实际提供了什么
+
+官方仓库在固定 revision 下只包含：
+
+- `README.md`；
+- `Attention_Residuals.pdf`；
+- 论文图片资产；
+- citation 与外部入口。
+
+仓库**不包含**：
+
+- 模型或 residual mixer 的可执行实现；
+- Figure 5 的统计脚本；
+- 训练配置、日志或 checkpoint；
+- gradient hook、norm 和 reduction 定义；
+- 用于复画 Figure 5 的原始数组。
+
+因此，本审计能固定论文的文字、公式、图与模型尺度，不能从官方代码恢复一个不存在的
+隐藏测量合同。
+
+## 2. Figure 5 能确认的事实
+
+官方 `training_dynamics.png` 和 PDF Figure 5 有三个并列面板：
+
+| 面板 | 图题 | 横轴 |
+|---|---|---|
+| (a) | Validation Loss | training step |
+| (b) | Output Magnitude | Layer / Transformer Block Index |
+| (c) | Gradient Magnitude ×10⁻⁵ | Layer / Transformer Block Index |
+
+Figure 5 caption 对 (b) 与 (c) 的完整对象描述分别是：
+
+```text
+Each transformer block's output magnitude at the end of training.
+Each transformer block's gradient magnitude.
+```
+
+正文明确表达了两个方向：
+
+1. Baseline 的 hidden-state magnitude 随深度单调增长；Block AttnRes 把增长约束在局部
+   residual block 内，形成周期性的深度图案。
+2. Baseline 的早期层梯度“不成比例地大”；Block AttnRes 的可学习 softmax 权重产生了
+   “明显更均匀”的梯度分布。
+
+图中最终大模型约有 27 个 Transformer blocks。论文的最终模型描述也是 27 个 Transformer
+blocks / 54 个 residual layers；Block AttnRes 每 6 个 residual layers 聚合一次，共 9 个
+聚合块，外加 embedding 形成 10 个跨块来源。
+
+## 3. Figure 5 不能确认的事项
+
+下面每一项都会改变曲线，却没有在论文或官方仓库中被唯一指定：
+
+| 未定义项 | 至少两种合理解释 |
+|---|---|
+| 梯度对象 | block 输出 activation 梯度；block 参数梯度；分支输出梯度 |
+| block 输出位置 | attention+MLP 后；只在 MLP 后；进入下一层 norm 前；聚合块边界后 |
+| norm | L2 norm；RMS；mean absolute value；每 token norm 后再平均 |
+| reduction | batch/token/channel 联合；先按 token 再按 batch；只取末 token |
+| loss | token mean；sample mean；未归一化 sum；带或不带 mask |
+| 采样 | 一个 batch；多 batch 平均；训练流中的 moving average |
+| 时间点 | “训练结束”单点；末段平均；某个 checkpoint |
+| 数值阶段 | AMP 缩放前/后；gradient clipping 前/后；BF16 或 FP32 |
+| 运行模式 | train 或 eval；dropout 是否开启 |
+| 归一化 | 绝对值；再除全层均值；再除 Baseline |
+
+Figure 5(c) 的纵轴是绝对 magnitude 标度，并不等价于 CV。只报告 CV 还会丢失两个信息：
+
+- 全部层梯度是否一起缩小或放大；
+- 不均匀来自“早层系统性偏大”，还是某一个中间/末端尖峰。
+
+所以 Round 05 必须同时公开绝对曲线、按层均值归一化曲线、CV 与前后深度分位比。
+
+## 4. 为什么 activation gradient 是合理推断，但仍只是推断
+
+把 Figure 5(c) 操作化为 `∂L/∂h_l` 有三条证据：
+
+1. 它与 Figure 5(b) 的 “transformer block output magnitude” 在横轴和叙述上成对；
+2. “早期层的梯度”在表示传播语境中通常可由对 block output 保留梯度直接比较；
+3. 参数张量的大小和类型在 attention 与 MLP 间差异很大，若把参数拼接，论文通常需要说明
+   聚合口径，否则 “each transformer block” 不是天然的单一标量。
+
+但也有无法排除的替代解释：
+
+- 论文作者可能测 block 参数梯度；
+- 可能测 residual branch output 而非完整 block output；
+- 可能先对每个 token 做 L2 norm，再跨 token 平均；
+- 可能在内部训练系统中有未公开的统一 telemetry 定义。
+
+因此，网站和审计只说“与论文叙述对齐的公开定义”，不说“论文就是这样算的”，也不把
+数值和 Figure 5 纵轴直接对齐。
+
+## 5. Round 04 与 Round 05 的对象对照
+
+| 维度 | Round 04 已测对象 | Round 05 主对象 |
+|---|---|---|
+| 数学对象 | `∇θ_l L` | `∂L/∂h_l` |
+| `l` 的单位 | Transformer block | Transformer block |
+| 张量内容 | block 的核心参数 | block 的 post-MLP output activation |
+| 聚合 | 参数元素联合 RMS | batch×time×channel 联合 RMS |
+| 是否含 AttnRes 参数 | 否 | 不适用；梯度穿过 mixer |
+| 时间 | final diagnostic batch | 全部预注册 diagnostic steps |
+| 目的 | 权重更新信号是否均匀 | 表征深度的反向信号是否均匀 |
+
+Round 04 的参数梯度结果不会被改名、删去或用新指标覆盖。它仍是一个有效反结果，只是不能
+代表论文未定义清楚的 Figure 5(c)。
+
+## 6. 两种结构怎样取得真正对齐的 16 / 32 个位置
+
+Grok Headless 被用作一次对抗式方法审阅，不作为事实来源。它正确指出了 non-leaf tensor、
+alias、AMP、clip 时点和只看 CV 的风险；但它也提出了一个不适用于本实现的担忧：
+“Block AttnRes 只有约 8 个 block 输出，无法与 Baseline 的 16 / 32 层对齐”。
+
+这里要区分两种 block：
+
+```text
+Transformer block：
+attention + MLP；depth=16 时始终有 16 个，depth=32 时始终有 32 个
+
+AttnRes aggregation group：
+把若干 residual sublayers 的 partial sum 保存为一个跨组 source；
+两种深度都约为 8 组
+```
+
+Round 05 在**每个 Transformer block 的 MLP 分支完成后**取 `h_l`。所以 Baseline 与 Block
+都有完全相同的 `l=1..depth`：
+
+| 架构 | Round 05 的 `h_l` | shape |
+|---|---|---|
+| Baseline | 第 `l` 个 attention residual 与 MLP residual 都完成后的 hidden state | `[B,T,C]` |
+| Block | 第 `l` 个 MLP branch 加入后、可能保存并清空 aggregation partial **之前**的 partial output | `[B,T,C]` |
+
+Block 的 `h_l` 是局部 residual partial，而不是跨组 source 列表；这正对应论文 Figure 5(b)
+所描述的“增长被限制在每个 block 内”的周期性图案。组边界前取值也避免把 reset 后的零张量
+错误当成 Transformer block output。
+
+## 7. 实验实现必须通过的梯度测量闸门
+
+正式训练前，四个结构格（2 个深度 × 2 个 residual graph）都必须证明：
+
+1. 所有 `h_l` 都是不同的、非别名的捕获对象，数量严格等于 Transformer depth；
+2. `retain_grad()` 或 hook 后所有梯度非 `None`、finite，shape 与 activation 完全一致；
+3. diagnostic loss 使用固定输入、固定 token-mean CE、`eval()`、无 optimizer step；
+4. backward 发生在 parameter gradient clip 之前，且不经过 `GradScaler`；
+5. 将同一 diagnostic loss 精确乘 2 后，每层 activation-gradient RMS 也乘 2；
+6. 乘 2 前后的 CV、归一化曲线与深度分位比在数值容差内不变；
+7. 同配置全新进程重复运行，冻结诊断字段 exact。
+
+若任一项失败，正式 8,000-step grid 不得开始。
+
+## 8. 本审计带来的研究决策
+
+下一轮不再把一个宽度 192、深度 16、训练 2,000 step 的参数梯度 CV 与论文最终模型图强行
+放在同一条结论线上，而是：
+
+- 增加 depth 32；
+- 把训练预算扩为 8,000 step；
+- Baseline / Block 使用相同的 Transformer block index；
+- 在 6 个固定时点测 post-MLP activation gradient；
+- 绝对标度、归一化形状、CV、前后四分位失衡一起公开；
+- 参数梯度作为次要指标保留；
+- 预注册“支持 / 混合 / 不支持”规则，并公开全部反结果。

+
+## 0. 先说结论
+
+这一轮本来想澄清一个看似矛盾的问题：
+
+```text
+论文 Figure 5：
+Block AttnRes 的梯度沿深度“明显更均匀”
+
+本站 Round 04：
+Block AttnRes 的核心参数梯度 RMS 跨层 CV 反而更高
+```
+
+一手工件审计先确认：论文没有公开 Figure 5(c) 的确切 gradient tensor、norm、reduction、
+diagnostic batch、AMP / clip 时点或统计代码。因此，Round 05 没有假装恢复作者的隐藏实现，
+而是冻结一个与 Figure 5 的 output/gradient 并列叙述对齐、可复现的定义：
+
+```text
+h_l：
+第 l 个 Transformer block 完成 attention + MLP 后的 FP32 residual output
+
+m_l：
+sqrt(mean((∂L / ∂h_l)² over batch × time × channel))
+
+L：
+固定 16 × 256 targets 的 token-mean cross entropy
+```
+
+结果不是一句“是”或“不是”，而是一个更有信息量的分解：
+
+1. **Block 确实大幅缓解了早层整体偏大。**  
+   Baseline 首四分位梯度平均是末四分位的 `3.01–3.90×`；Block 把它改到
+   `0.55–1.40×`。预注册的首尾失衡指标在 6 / 6 个 depth×seed 配对中都改善，
+   depth-16 平均改善 `61.0%`，depth-32 平均改善 `72.0%`。
+
+2. **但 Block 没有让整条深度谱更平。**  
+   它在中后段形成了局部尖峰，所以 population CV 在 6 / 6 个配对中都恶化：
+   depth-16 平均相对恶化 `10.3%`，depth-32 平均相对恶化 `60.0%`。
+
+3. **Block 的绝对 activation-gradient 平均尺度更小。**  
+   它只有 Baseline 的 `57.4%`（depth-16）和 `54.4%`（depth-32）。这意味着“首尾更接近”
+   不能自动解释为所有层都获得更强更新信号。
+
+4. **参数梯度仍与 Round 04 同方向。**  
+   核心参数梯度 CV 从 `0.416→0.683`（depth-16），从 `0.397→0.772`
+   （depth-32）；Block 更不均匀。
+
+5. **验证 BPC 在 6 / 6 配对中都更低，但不是同算力优势。**  
+   平均改善 `0.00894 BPC`（depth-16）与 `0.00987 BPC`（depth-32）；Block 实际 step
+   time 是 Baseline 的约 `2.55–2.60×`，peak allocated memory 约 `2.15–2.16×`。
+
+按看结果前冻结的联合判据，CV 与首尾失衡必须同时改善才算 support；必须同时恶化才算
+concern。这里二者方向相反，所以：
+
+| depth | 预注册判定 |
+|---:|---|
+| 16 | **mixed / inconclusive at this depth** |
+| 32 | **mixed / inconclusive at this depth** |
+| 总判定 | **depth-dependent or inconclusive** |
+
+最准确的中文总结是：
+
+> 在这套公开 operationalization 中，Block AttnRes 把“早层系统性偏大”变成了“首尾更接近、
+> 但中后段有局部尖峰”的另一种梯度分布。它修正了一类失衡，却没有降低全层离散度。
+
+这不复现论文 Figure 5 的数值，也不反驳一个没有公开测量合同的隐藏实现。
+
+---
+
+## 1. 为什么要另开一轮，而不是改写 Round 04
+
+Round 04 的梯度对象是：
+
+```text
+每个 Transformer block 的 attention、MLP 与两个 input norm
+所有核心参数梯度拼接后的 RMS
+```
+
+这回答“该层权重收到多大更新信号”。Round 05 的对象是 `∂L/∂h_l`，回答“损失对该深度
+表征有多敏感”。链式法则把两者联系起来，但不会保证跨层形状同方向。
+
+因此：
+
+- Round 04 参数梯度反结果继续有效；
+- Round 05 不把它改名为 activation gradient；
+- 两种对象在网站并排展示；
+- 任何方向冲突都保留，而不是选择更像论文的一种。

+## 2. 实验规模与配对合同
+
+正式网格：
+
+```text
+2 depths
+× 2 residual graphs
+× 3 seeds
+× 8,000 steps
+× 32 windows
+× 256 target bytes
+= 12 independent runs
+= 786,432,000 formal target bytes
+```
+
+| 项 | depth-16 | depth-32 |
+|---|---:|---:|
+| Transformer blocks | 16 | 32 |
+| residual sublayers | 32 | 64 |
+| AttnRes aggregation groups | 8 | 8 |
+| sublayers / group | 4 | 8 |
+| Transformer blocks / group | 2 | 4 |
+| width / heads / FFN | 192 / 6 / 768 | 192 / 6 / 768 |
+
+每个 depth / seed 的 Baseline 与 Block：
+
+- 使用逐 tensor exact 的公共主干初始化；
+- 使用逐 step / row exact 的 byte windows；
+- 使用相同 optimizer、LR schedule、batch、context 与 target-byte budget；
+- 分支线性计算走 BF16 autocast；
+- residual accumulator 与被测 `h_l` 都为 FP32；
+- 每个结构在全新进程中从零训练。
+
+二者**不匹配**：
+
+- mixer 参数；
+- mixer FLOPs；
+- step wall time；
+- activation memory。
+
+所以 BPC 只能叫“同 token / step 预算对比”，不能叫“同算力优势”。
+
+## 3. 数据与日程
+
+| 对象 | 固定值 |

+
+固定诊断时点：
+
+```text
+0, 100, 500, 2,000, 4,000, 8,000
+```
+
+六个时点的全部 activation gradient、output RMS、parameter gradient、mixer 权重与验证 BPC
+都进入 raw JSON；没有只挑“最好看”的 checkpoint。
+
+## 4. 正式训练前的故障与修订
+
+### 4.1 第一次 smoke 的标量序列化错误
+
+首个 depth-16 Baseline 20-step smoke 已完成数值计算，但在写 JSON 前失败：
+
+```text
+RuntimeError:
+self.dim() cannot be 0 to view Float as Byte
+```
+
+原因是 optimizer 的 step 是 0 维 tensor，hash helper 直接把它 `view(torch.uint8)`。修复为：
+
+```text
+tensor.reshape(-1).view(torch.uint8)
+```
+
+当时：
+
+- 没有 formal 运行；
+- 没有输出 JSON；
+- 没有可供选择的正式结果。
+
+### 4.2 smoke 发现被测 residual dtype 不一致
+
+第一版 smoke 通过了 finite / loss×2 / replay 闸门，但检查 capture metadata 时发现：
+
+```text
+Baseline post-MLP h_l：FP32
+Block aggregation partial：BF16
+```
+
+原因：
+
+- Baseline 把 BF16 branch 加到 FP32 embedding/residual stream；
+- Block 每组第一个 partial 直接引用 BF16 branch output。
+
+这会把数值精度差异混进结构比较。正式训练前，协议与实现补充为：
+
+```text
+BF16 branch output → 显式转 FP32 → residual partial 累加
+```
+
+随后 4 个 depth×architecture 格的 smoke 全部从头重跑两次。正式输出是在这次修订之后才开始。
+
+### 4.3 一次未启动模型的 zsh 调度错误
+
+首个正式 Baseline 完成后，批处理脚本用 Bash 式标量切分处理 zsh 字符串，第一行就退出：
+
+```text
+argument --architecture: invalid choice: ''
+```
+
+runner 没有启动，也没有创建新结果文件。调度改为显式 `:` 分隔数组后继续。这是 orchestration
+故障，不是模型运行失败，但仍在审计时间线中保留。
+
+## 5. 运行前与复现闸门
+
+### 5.1 activation-gradient 测量闸门
+
+4 / 4 个 depth×architecture 格都通过：
+
+- 捕获数量严格等于 16 / 32；
+- shape 严格为 `[16,256,192]`；
+- dtype 全部为 FP32；
+- gradient 全部 present、finite；
+- capture storage 全部不别名；
+- diagnostic loss×2 后每层 gradient RMS 精确×2；
+- CV、归一化谱、首尾比不变。
+
+### 5.2 两次独立 smoke
+
+每个格都在两个全新进程中训练 20 steps。排除 timing 后的冻结字段：
+
+| 格 | compare SHA-256 |
+|---|---|
+| depth-16 Baseline | `525cdcd9…bd2a` |
+| depth-16 Block | `e4330a0d…90cc` |
+| depth-32 Baseline | `8ee0dc37…8e56` |
+| depth-32 Block | `289073b1…34c` |
+
+4 / 4 exact。
+
+### 5.3 完整 formal replay
+
+预注册格：
+
+```text
+depth-32 / Block / seed-2026073001
+```
+
+从初始化重新训练完整 8,000 steps，不加载 formal checkpoint。排除 `run_kind`、timing、
+memory 与进程元数据后的全部冻结字段：
+
+```text

+
+## 6. 主结果：CV 与首尾失衡为什么方向相反
+
+### 6.1 depth-16
+
+| seed | Base CV | Block CV | 相对 CV 改善 | Base imbalance | Block imbalance | 相对 imbalance 改善 |
+|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|
+| 2026073001 | 0.41719 | 0.46768 | −12.1% | 1.29458 | 0.38821 | +70.0% |
+| 2026073002 | 0.43744 | 0.45175 | −3.3% | 1.35991 | 0.58958 | +56.6% |
+| 2026073003 | 0.41927 | 0.48391 | −15.4% | 1.29826 | 0.56693 | +56.3% |
+| 均值 | 0.42463 | 0.46778 | **−10.3%** | 1.31759 | 0.51491 | **+61.0%** |
+
+这里“相对 CV 改善”为负，表示恶化。
+
+原始首/末四分位比：
+
+```text
+Baseline：3.65×, 3.90×, 3.66×
+Block：   0.68×, 0.55×, 0.57×
+```
+
+Block 不只是把早层优势降到 1；它在三个 seed 中都略微“过冲”，变成末四分位平均更大。
+但 `abs(log(first/last))` 仍比 Baseline 更接近 0，所以失衡改善。
+
+三 seed 平均 normalized activation-gradient 的最高点：
+
+```text
+Baseline：layer 3 = 1.50× mean；layer 4 = 1.42×
+Block：   layer 11 = 2.09× mean；layer 13 = 1.95×
+```
+
+Baseline 是宽而平滑的早层隆起；Block 是更局部的中后段尖峰。CV 对尖峰敏感，所以升高。
+
+### 6.2 depth-32
+
+| seed | Base CV | Block CV | 相对 CV 改善 | Base imbalance | Block imbalance | 相对 imbalance 改善 |
+|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|
+| 2026073001 | 0.36109 | 0.64203 | −77.8% | 1.10030 | 0.20781 | +81.1% |
+| 2026073002 | 0.37162 | 0.72997 | −96.4% | 1.14087 | 0.43810 | +61.6% |
+| 2026073003 | 0.40320 | 0.42685 | −5.9% | 1.25169 | 0.33417 | +73.3% |
+| 均值 | 0.37864 | 0.59962 | **−60.0%** | 1.16429 | 0.32669 | **+72.0%** |
+
+原始首/末四分位比：
+
+```text
+Baseline：3.01×, 3.13×, 3.50×
+Block：   0.81×, 0.65×, 1.40×
+```
+
+三 seed 平均 normalized spectrum 的 Block 峰值：
+
+```text
+layer 21 = 3.04× mean
+layer 22 = 2.41×
+layer 23 = 1.91×
+layer 25 = 1.77×
+```
+
+depth-32 每个 AttnRes aggregation group 含 4 个 Transformer blocks。21–24 是第 6 组，
+25–28 是第 7 组。尖峰集中在这两个中后段组附近，是数据中直接可见的结构；但仅凭本实验
+不能断言 pseudo-query、某个 source 或组边界是唯一因果。
+
+### 6.3 seed-3 的中期反例
+
+depth-32 seed-3 在 step 2,000：
+
+```text
+Baseline CV 0.39965
+Block CV    0.34914
+```
+
+此时 Block 更平；到 step 8,000 才变成：
+
+```text
+Baseline CV 0.40320
+Block CV    0.42685
+```
+
+前两个 seed 在 step 2,000 已明显恶化，seed-3 没有。网站必须保留 seed switch，不能用最终
+均值倒写成“三个 seed 从头到尾都一样”。
+
+## 7. 绝对梯度尺度：更平不等于更强
+
+最终 activation-gradient mean：
+
+| depth | Baseline | Block | Block / Baseline |
+|---:|---:|---:|---:|
+| 16 | 约 `2.02×10⁻⁴` | 约 `1.16×10⁻⁴` | **0.574×** |
+| 32 | 约 `1.44×10⁻⁴` | 约 `0.78×10⁻⁴` | **0.544×** |
+
+所以 Block 的首尾比更接近 1，并不是因为它把晚层全部抬高到 Baseline 早层的强度。更接近的
+描述是：
+
+> 整体尺度下降，早层系统性高值被削弱，同时某些中后段位置相对全层均值形成尖峰。
+
+这也是只看 normalized curve 或只看 CV 都不够的原因。
+
+## 8. 参数梯度没有翻转 Round 04
+
+最终核心参数梯度 CV：
+
+| depth | Baseline mean | Block mean | Block / Baseline |
+|---:|---:|---:|---:|
+| 16 | 0.41596 | 0.68287 | 1.64× |
+| 32 | 0.39661 | 0.77176 | 1.95× |
+
+6 / 6 个配对中 Block 都更高。Round 04 的反结果不是在把梯度对象改成 activation 后自动消失；
+两种梯度对象在本轮 final endpoint 都显示更高的跨层 CV。
+
+但 activation gradient 又显示首尾失衡大幅改善，这说明“均匀”至少要拆成：
+
+```text
+首尾是否平衡
+全层是否有尖峰
+绝对尺度多大
+参数更新信号是否平衡
+```
+
+一个标量不能代替全部。
+
+## 9. Output RMS：最接近论文叙述的正向结果
+
+三 seed 最终 post-MLP output RMS 的最后/第一层比：
+
+| depth | Baseline | Block |
+|---:|---:|---:|
+| 16 | 4.59× | 1.17× |
+| 32 | 6.08× | 1.89× |
+
+Baseline output magnitude 随深度明显累积；Block 把增长限制在 aggregation group 内并产生
+周期性 reset。这个缩小实验的 output-RMS 方向与论文 Figure 5(b) 的叙述一致。
+
+仍不能把数值直接叠到论文图上：
+
+- 模型宽度、深度和数据不同；
+- 训练 Token 相差巨大；
+- 论文图的确切 output norm / reduction 也未完整公开；
+- 本实验的 Block group 是 8 组固定设计。
+
+## 10. 验证 BPC 与真实成本
+
+最终 BPC：
+
+### depth-16
+
+| seed | Baseline | Block | Block − Base |
+|---:|---:|---:|---:|
+| 2026073001 | 1.74880 | 1.73739 | −0.01141 |
+| 2026073002 | 1.73683 | 1.73118 | −0.00565 |
+| 2026073003 | 1.73637 | 1.72661 | −0.00976 |
+| 均值 | 1.74067 | 1.73173 | **−0.00894** |
+
+### depth-32
+
+| seed | Baseline | Block | Block − Base |
+|---:|---:|---:|---:|
+| 2026073001 | 1.71790 | 1.71235 | −0.00554 |
+| 2026073002 | 1.72698 | 1.70932 | −0.01765 |
+| 2026073003 | 1.70951 | 1.70310 | −0.00642 |
+| 均值 | 1.71813 | 1.70826 | **−0.00987** |
+
+6 / 6 为负。这是有价值的次要方向，但 Round 05 没有为 BPC 再预注册一个新的 support 阈值，
+因此不追加事后显著性结论。
+
+真实成本：
+
+| depth | Base mean ms | Block mean ms | time ratio | Base peak alloc | Block peak alloc | memory ratio |
+|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|
+| 16 | 21.47 | 54.71 | 2.55× | 3.04 GB | 6.54 GB | 2.15× |
+| 32 | 42.11 | 109.38 | 2.60× | 5.94 GB | 12.82 GB | 2.16× |
+
+这个简单 eager 实现没有论文训练系统的 kernel、并行或工程优化；成本数值不应外推到 K3。
+但它足以说明本站的 BPC 对比不是同 wall time / FLOPs。
+
+## 11. 预注册判定为何是 mixed
+
+支持需要：
+
+```text
+CV：3 / 3 seeds 改善，平均相对改善 ≥20%
+AND
+imbalance：3 / 3 seeds 改善，平均相对改善 ≥20%
+```
+
+concern 需要两项都以相同规则恶化。
+
+实际：
+
+```text
+depth-16：
+CV 3 / 3 恶化，平均 10.3%
+imbalance 3 / 3 改善，平均 61.0%
+
+depth-32：
+CV 3 / 3 恶化，平均 60.0%
+imbalance 3 / 3 改善，平均 72.0%
+```
+
+两个指标相反，所以两个 depth 都是 `mixed / inconclusive at this depth`。这不是“数据没规律”，
+而是预注册的“更均匀”概念被实验拆成了两个方向相反的组成部分。

+
+1. 分开捕获 pre-attention 与 pre-MLP residual positions；
+2. 把 layer 21–25 的 activation-gradient 与 mixer source weights 同步对齐；
+3. 比较 aggregation-group boundary 前后；
+4. 在不改变 formal 结果的前提下，对相同 raw gradient tensor 做多种公开 reduction
+   sensitivity analysis；
+5. 若官方之后发布 Figure 5 telemetry 代码，再按其定义单独开新 protocol。
+
+这些属于后续轮次，不能倒写进本轮预注册结论。

+
+只比较 Baseline 与 Block，因为论文 Figure 5 的训练动力学面板也是这两个结构的直接对照。
+Round 04 的 Full AttnRes 结果保持公开，但本轮不增加一个与主问题无关的 6-run 分支。
+
+## 3. 数据合同
+
+继承 Round 04 的语料和预处理：
+
+1. 按固定 parquet 行序读取 `text`；
+2. 每行追加一个 `\n`；
+3. UTF-8 编码，无 normalization、strip、去空行或大小写改写；
+4. byte vocabulary `0..255`；
+5. 每个窗口连续取 257 bytes，前 256 预测后 256。
+
+固定拼接后 split：

+全部 bias-free linear 与 embedding 初始化为 `N(0,0.02)`。attention output projection 与 MLP
+down projection 的标准差为 `0.02 / sqrt(2×depth)`；普通 RMSNorm 为 1。
+
+数值精度进一步固定为：attention / MLP 线性分支受 BF16 autocast；embedding、Baseline hidden
+residual stream 与 Block aggregation partial 都以 FP32 累加。也就是说，Block 每个 BF16
+branch output 在进入 `partial` 前显式转为 FP32。这样两种结构被捕获的 `h_l` 都是 FP32，

+### 4.2 深度与 Block AttnRes 聚合
+
+| Transformer depth | residual sublayers | aggregation groups | sublayers/group | Transformer blocks/group |
+|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|
+| 16 | 32 | 8 | 4 | 2 |
+| 32 | 64 | 8 | 8 | 4 |
+
+Baseline 子层为：
+
+```text
+h ← h + f(RMSNorm(h))
+```
+
+Block AttnRes：
+
+- embedding 永远是 source 0；
+- 对已经完成的 aggregation-group sums 做跨组 softmax mixture；
+- 组内 attention / MLP branch output 累加到 `partial`；
+- 达到组边界时，保存完整 `partial` 为新 source，再开始下一组；
+- output mixer 聚合 embedding + 8 个完整 group sums。
+
+每个子层的 pseudo-query 为 `d_model` 向量，严格 zero-init；每个 source 的 key RMSNorm weight
+严格 one-init。Baseline / Block 不要求总参数量或 residual-mixer FLOPs 相等，但同 seed /
+depth 的 token/position embedding、attention、MLP、input norm、final norm 和 tied readout
+必须逐 tensor SHA-256 exact。
+
+## 5. 训练合同

+```
+
+验证固定 64 windows，8 windows/eval batch，报告 token-mean CE nats 与
+`bits_per_byte = CE / ln(2)`。诊断固定 16 windows，一次性输入，不改变 optimizer state。
+
+计时合同：
+
+- 前 20 个 training step 不计入；
+- step 21–8,000 每步前后 CUDA synchronize；
+- step 20 后 reset peak memory；
+- 报告 mean / median / p95 step ms、peak allocated / reserved；
+- timing、wall clock、hostname、GPU temperature 不进入 exact replay 字段。
+
+## 6. 主梯度对象：精确到代码位置
+
+### 6.1 `h_l` 定义
+
+对 `l=1..depth`，统一在第 `l` 个 Transformer block 的 MLP branch 完成后捕获：
+
+| 架构 | 精确定义 |
+|---|---|
+| Baseline | attention residual 与 MLP residual 都完成后的 hidden state |
+| Block | MLP branch 已加入、本 aggregation partial 可能保存/reset **之前**的 partial |
+
+所有 `h_l.shape = [16,256,192]`、dtype 为 FP32。实现必须为 diagnostic forward 返回独立
+引用列表，不允许捕获 reset 后的零张量，不允许把 8 个 aggregation sources 当成 16 / 32 个
+Transformer outputs。
+
+### 6.2 diagnostic loss 与 gradient magnitude
+
+```text
+model.eval()
+logits, h[1..depth] = forward(fixed_diagnostic_x, capture=true)
+L = mean(cross_entropy(logits.float(), fixed_diagnostic_y))
+backward(L)          # 不使用 GradScaler，不执行 optimizer.step
+m_l = sqrt(mean(float32(h_l.grad)² over batch×time×channel))
+```
+
+规则：
+
+- forward 仍使用与训练一致的 BF16 autocast；
+- logits 在 FP32 中计算 CE；
+- loss 对全部 `16×256` targets 做算术平均，无 mask、无 label smoothing；
+- backward 前 model / optimizer gradients 清零；
+- activation gradient 在任何 parameter clipping 之前读取；
+- diagnostic 不消耗训练数据，不进入 optimizer，不改变学习率或模型状态。
+
+### 6.3 同位置 output magnitude
+
+同一批 `h_l` 计算：
+
+```text
+o_l = sqrt(mean(float32(h_l)² over batch×time×channel))
+```
+
+它用于显示 Baseline 单调累积与 Block 组内周期，而不作为主 confirmatory endpoint。
+
+## 7. 主指标与预注册判据
+
+每个 diagnostic step 保存完整 `m_1..m_depth`。以下统计由未四舍五入的 float64 数组计算。
+
+### 7.1 绝对尺度
+
+```text
+mean_grad = mean_l(m_l)
+```
+
+它防止“曲线更平只是全部梯度趋近于零”被 CV 隐藏。绝对尺度不设置优劣阈值，只公开。
+
+### 7.2 归一化谱与 CV
+
+```text
+n_l = m_l / mean_grad
+CV = population_std_l(m_l) / mean_grad
+```
+
+使用 population standard deviation（`ddof=0`）。网站必须同时显示 `m_l` 与 `n_l`，不能只显示
+CV 排名。
+
+### 7.3 前后四分位失衡
+
+```text
+q = depth / 4
+Q_first = mean(m_1 .. m_q)
+Q_last  = mean(m_(depth-q+1) .. m_depth)
+imbalance = abs(ln(Q_first / Q_last))
+```
+
+depth 16 时各取 4 层；depth 32 时各取 8 层。`imbalance=0` 才表示首尾一致；这个定义不会把
+“早层偏大”和“晚层偏大”错误地都解释为越小越好。原始有符号比 `Q_first/Q_last` 仍公开。
+
+### 7.4 seed 内配对对比
+
+只在最终 step 8,000 做 confirmatory verdict：
+
+```text
+relative_CV_reduction
+  = (CV_baseline - CV_block) / CV_baseline
+
+relative_imbalance_reduction
+  = (imbalance_baseline - imbalance_block) / imbalance_baseline
+```
+
+若 Baseline imbalance 精确为 0，则该 seed 的 relative imbalance reduction 定义为不可计算，
+该 depth 自动不能得到“联合支持”；仍公开绝对差。
+
+对每个 depth 分别判定：
+
+- **joint directional support at this depth**：三个 seed 的 CV reduction 都 `>0`，其均值
+  `>=20%`；同时三个 seed 的 imbalance reduction 都 `>0`，其均值 `>=20%`。
+- **joint directional concern at this depth**：三个 seed 的两项 reduction 都 `<0`，且两项
+  平均相对恶化都 `>=20%`。
+- 其他：**mixed / inconclusive at this depth**。
+
+总判定：
+
+- 两个 depth 都 support：**scale-consistent directional support in this operationalization**；
+- 两个 depth 都 concern：**scale-consistent directional concern in this operationalization**；
+- 其他：**depth-dependent or inconclusive**。
+
+不计算 p-value、population CI，不把 3 seeds 称为统计证明。
+
+## 8. 必须公开的次要指标
+
+### 8.1 全时间轨迹
+
+六个预注册时点的以下数据必须全部公开，不能选择“最好看”的 checkpoint：
+
+- validation BPC；
+- absolute activation-gradient spectrum；
+- normalized activation-gradient spectrum；
+- activation CV；
+- first/last quartile ratio 与 imbalance；
+- output RMS spectrum；
+- mean activation-gradient scale。
+
+### 8.2 参数梯度
+
+延续 Round 04 定义：每个 Transformer block 的 attention、MLP 与两个 input norm 的参数梯度
+拼接后计算：
+
+```text
+parameter_grad_rms[l] = sqrt(sum(g²) / total_parameter_elements)
+```
+
+不含 embedding、final norm、LM head 与 AttnRes mixer 参数；clip 前读取。报告完整谱、CV 和
+前后四分位失衡，但它们不进入 Round 05 主判定。
+
+### 8.3 mixer / 成本
+
+Block 同报：
+
+- 各子层 softmax mixture 的 source-depth 分布；
+- output mixer 分布；
+- entropy 与 embedding / latest-complete-group mass；
+- step time、peak allocated/reserved、参数量。
+
+这些用于解释机制与成本，不改变 confirmatory verdict。
+
+## 9. 运行前闸门
+
+### 9.1 数据闸门
+
+- split bytes/hash 与 Round 04 exact；
+- 新 protocol 的 768,000-window schedule hash 落盘；
+- validation / diagnostic tensor hash 落盘；
+- 同 seed 四结构的至少 step 0 / 1 / 7,999 输入 tensor hash exact。
+
+### 9.2 公共权重闸门
+
+每个 depth / seed 的 Baseline 与 Block 公共参数逐 tensor exact；输出：
+
+- 公共参数 tensor 数；
+- 公共参数 element 数；
+- name / shape / dtype / bytes 联合 hash；
+- value bytes 联合 hash。
+
+### 9.3 activation-gradient 闸门
+
+四个 depth×architecture 格都必须通过：
+
+1. 捕获数量严格等于 depth，shape 均为 `[16,256,192]`；
+2. 全部 gradient 非 `None`、finite、storage 不别名；
+3. 同输入把 loss 乘 2 后，每层 `m_l` 比值在 `2±1e-5`；
+4. loss×2 前后 CV、normalized spectrum、quartile ratio 在 `1e-6` 绝对容差内；
+5. 全新进程重复 smoke 的冻结字段 exact。
+
+### 9.4 smoke
+
+四个格都运行 20 training steps；冻结字段包括：
+
+- protocol、architecture、depth、seed、device、dtype；
+- data/schedule/tensor hashes；
+- public-weight hashes；
+- step 0 / 20 loss 与 validation；
+- 全部预注册 diagnostic 数组；
+- finite / alias / loss-scale checks。
+
+smoke 不能写入 formal 目录。
+
+## 10. 正式执行与独立 replay
+
+12 个 formal grid 必须各自在全新进程中执行。目录键为：
+
+```text
+depth-{16|32}/{baseline|block}/seed-{2026073001|2026073002|2026073003}
+```
+
+完成后预注册 replay：
+
+```text
+depth-32 / block / seed-2026073001
+```
+
+replay 再从初始化训练完整 8,000 steps，不加载 formal checkpoint。比较时排除：
+
+- wall time / step-time samples；
+- peak memory；
+- process ID / hostname；
+- GPU 温度与驱动层瞬时字段；
+- 文件路径和生成时间。
+
+必须 exact 的字段：
+
+- 数据与公共权重 hashes；
+- 全部 validation CE/BPC；
+- 全部 activation/output/parameter gradient 数组；
+- mixer 数组与 summary；
+- final model-state tensor hash；
+- optimizer-state tensor hash；
+- training-loss checkpoint 数组。
+
+若 replay 不 exact，停止聚合并公开失败，不挑选另一 seed 替代。
+
+## 11. 公开工件
+
+正式结果完成后仓库必须包含：
+
+```text
+experiments/k3/attnres_gradient/
+  README.md
+  build_dataset.py
+  manifest.json
+  train.py
+  analyze.py
+  results/raw/*.json
+  results/compact.json
+  reproduction.json
+
+research/
+  K3_ATTNRES_GRADIENT_DEFINITION_AUDIT.md
+  K3_ATTNRES_GRADIENT_SCALE_PROTOCOL.md
+  K3_ATTNRES_GRADIENT_SCALE_AUDIT.md
+```
+
+网站至少提供五个互相联动的视图：
+
+1. 论文 Figure 5 的“已知 / 未定义”拆解；
+2. activation gradient 绝对谱与 normalized spectrum；
+3. depth 16 / 32、三 seed、六时间点对比；
+4. output RMS 周期与 Block aggregation boundary；
+5. activation gradient / parameter gradient 并排，以及判定、成本、哈希和声明边界。
+
+图中必须能切换到所有负结果；不能只放均值、只放 final 或隐藏某个 seed。
+
+## 12. 允许与禁止的结论
+
+若达到支持条件，允许写：
+
+> 在这个公开定义、两种缩小深度和 8,000-step byte-LM 合同中，Block AttnRes 方向一致地
+> 降低了 post-MLP output activation gradient 的跨深度 CV 与首尾四分位失衡。
+
+无论结果怎样，都禁止写：
+
+- 复现了论文 Figure 5 的数值；
+- 证明了论文未公开实现采用相同梯度定义；
+- 证明了 Kimi K3 的真实梯度更健康；
+- 证明 AttnRes 解决梯度消失、梯度爆炸或训练稳定性的全部问题；
+- 从 3 seeds 推导总体显著性；
+- 从 depth 16 / 32 外推至 48B、1T+400B Token 或 K3 2.8T 参数；
+- 隐藏 activation 与 parameter gradient 方向不一致的结果。
+
+## 13. 变更纪律
+
+本文件提交后：
+
+- 允许修复使实现符合本协议的 bug；
+- 允许补充日志、注释、可视化和不改变数值的导出；
+- 不允许看过 formal 结果后修改主指标、阈值、diagnostic step、seed、训练预算或 replay 格；
+- 任何不得不改变实验合同的事项必须先停止、写入审计、升级 protocol ID，再重新执行全部 grid。
