- # Temporal Crosscoder checkpoints (Phase 5 + Phase 5.7)
15
-
16
- Trained-checkpoint artifact for the [temp_xc](https://github.com/chainik1125/temp_xc)
17
- research repository. These are **Sparse Autoencoder / Crosscoder**
18
- checkpoints trained on `google/gemma-2-2b-it` layer 13 residual stream
19
- activations over 24 000 FineWeb sequences.
20
-
21
- See `summary.md` and the autoresearch plan in the code repo for the
22
- full story. This HF repo only hosts the binary `.pt` checkpoints;
23
- all training / probing / plotting code lives in the github repo.
24
-
25
- ## Quick start
26
-
27
- Download all ckpts:
28
-
29
- ```bash
30
- pip install huggingface_hub
31
- huggingface-cli download han1823123123/txcdr --local-dir ./ckpts
32
- ```
33
-
34
- Or a single file:
35
-
36
- ```bash
37
- huggingface-cli download han1823123123/txcdr \
38
- ckpts/txcdr_contrastive_t5__seed42.pt \
39
- --local-dir ./ckpts
40
- ```
41
-
42
- ## Loading a checkpoint
43
-
44
- Each `.pt` is saved as a dict with keys
45
- `{"state_dict", "arch", "meta", "state_dict_dtype"}`. The
46
- `state_dict` is in **fp16** to halve disk cost; the loader in
47
- `run_probing.py` casts it back to fp32 when building the model. Example
48
- (from `experiments/phase5_downstream_utility/probing/run_probing.py`):
49
-
50
- ```python
51
- import torch
52
- from src.architectures.crosscoder import TemporalCrosscoder
53
-
54
- state = torch.load("ckpts/txcdr_t5__seed42.pt",
55
- map_location="cuda", weights_only=False)
56
- meta = state["meta"]
57
- T = meta["T"] # e.g. 5
58
- k_eff = meta["k_win"] or (meta["k_pos"] * T)
59
- model = TemporalCrosscoder(d_in=2304, d_sae=18432, T=T, k=k_eff).cuda()
60
- cast = {k: v.float() if v.dtype == torch.float16 else v
61
- for k, v in state["state_dict"].items()}
62
- model.load_state_dict(cast)
63
- model.eval()
64
- ```
65
-
66
- For other architectures, the corresponding class lives under
67
- `src/architectures/` in the github repo. The `arch` field in each
68
- ckpt's state tells you which class to instantiate; the `meta` dict
69
- carries the constructor arguments.

- ### Phase 5 canonical benchmark (seed 42, 25 archs)
74
-
75
- Trained on the full 6 000-sequence GPU-preloaded subset, plateau-stop
76
- at <2 %/1k-step loss drop, Adam lr=3e-4, batch=1024, max 25 000 steps.
77
- Probed on 36 binary tasks at `last_position` and `mean_pool`
78
- aggregations — see `docs/han/research_logs/phase5_downstream_utility/summary.md`
79
- in the github repo for the leaderboard.

129
- ## Reproduction
130
-
131
- For a full from-scratch reproduction (tokenise FineWeb → build 5-layer
132
- activation cache → build probe cache → train 25 archs → probe →
133
- headline plots → T-sweep plot), see
134
- `docs/han/research_logs/phase5_downstream_utility/2026-04-21-reproduction-brief.md`
135
- in the github repo. ~120 GB disk + ~12-15 h compute on an A40-class GPU.
