About the project
A speedrun benchmark for pretraining a transformer without backpropagation: fixed model, data and metric, with participants competing on forward-only learning algorithms.
Useful for
- Test a forward-only learning algorithm on the fixed transformer and FineWeb dataset
- Compare time-to-4.2 validation loss against current speedrun records
- Reproduce the Dust and EGGROLL baselines on a single 8xH100 node

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 18, 2026, 17:24 UTC.
The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.
Stars per day
Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.
Why it’s trending
- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-18 (UTC), 15:52–17:20: 108 → 114 stars (+6). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +8 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 6 days old and already has 114 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #191.
- Recent forks include notable developers: @mvanhorn (5,527 followers).

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
