Small Shakespeare baseline

What held-out byte perplexity does the standard small AGPT recipe (d64 L2, depth-16 trie, 10 static epochs, rmsprop 3e-3, anc-grad) reach on Shakespeare's 5% tail?

Run history: 1 of 1 predate the 2026-09-24 CUDA kernel race fix; 1 of 1 predate the 2026-09-28 exact ancestor backward.

THE ANSWER SO FAR

Rolling byte PPL 10.435 (3.38 bits/byte) on the tail-heldout split, in 86 s of wall time. This was the first held-out run under the orchestrator.
