OPEN-1B:一次完全可审计的训练运行
该论文指出开源语言模型存在可复现性问题:即便公开权重、训练数据和配方,浮点运算的非结合性使现有模型无法被证明可复现,框架的确定性执行模式也无法跨硬件保持,因此无法验证已发布 checkpoint 是否真由声明的配方训练,留下未披露数据、注入偏见或后门的空间。作者提出“完全可审计”这一新的透明度层级,通过对训练非确定性来源(GPU kernel 归约、数据批次等)施加确定顺序,使训练中每个数据样本上的每个操作都能在异构消费级硬件上以位级确定性独立复现。
AI推荐理由 论文提出“完全可审计”这一新的模型透明度层级,目标是让训练中每个数据样本上的每个操作都能在异构消费级硬件上以位级确定性独立复现,从而弥补现有 proof-of-learning、proof-of-training-data 无法排除未披露数据、注入偏见或后门的问题。其具体新信息在于对训练非确定性来源(GPU kernel 归约、数据批次等)施加确定顺序,使已发布 checkpoint 可被第三方验证是否真由声明的训练配方产生。局限是输入仅给出摘要片段,未提供实验规模、复现开销与跨硬件验证结果,OPEN-1B 的实际可审计效果尚待正文证据。

Abstract:Open-source language models have a reproducibility problem. Despite releasing weights, training data, and recipes, none of them are provably reproducible due to the non-associativity of floating-point arithmetic. Deep learning frameworks often offer a deterministic execution mode, allowing reproducible operations on the same machines. Unfortunately, this determinism does not carry across hardware such that a user can verify that a released checkpoint was actually produced using the declared training recipe. This leaves room for undisclosed data, injected biases, or backdoors that existing techniques such as proof-of-learning or proof-of-training-data cannot rule out.
We introduce a new tier of model transparency, fully auditable, in which every operation on every data sample during training is independently reproducible on heterogeneous commodity hardware with bitwise certainty. By imposing a definite order on the sources of training nondeterminism, GPU kernel reductions, data batch ordering across a data-parallel cluster, and inter/intra-node collective communication, we make it possible to replay any individual step of a large, distributed training run on a single piece of commodity hardware and check it against the published trajectory.
Because replaying an entire run on one machine is infeasible, we support this with a collective verification scheme in which many independent auditors each certify individual steps, together covering the whole run. We release Open-1B, a model trained under this regime, together with its full pretraining dataset, every intermediate checkpoint, the training codebase, and the audit harness needed to reproduce and verify any step of its training.
