# MONIKA Training Status

## Current Progress
- **Steps:** 586 / 5000 target (~12% complete)
- **Loss:** 77.4 (stable, learning new Wikipedia vocabulary)
- **Vocab:** 176 tokens (61 merges, 64 growth events)
- **Output:** Character-level (`..888___888...`) - expected at this stage

## Training Data Fed
- 100 sentences from Alice in Wonderland ✅
- 150 sentences from Wikipedia (Anarchism, Alabama) ✅
- ~350 sentences remaining from 90 batch files

## Cognitive Systems Status
✅ Controller: Active (choosing SASS/Memory/Reflect actions)
✅ Yearning: desire=0.918, potential=1.5
✅ Memory: 10 facts, 9 todos accumulated
✅ Scratchpad: 4D reasoning traces committed
✅ Meta-state: Tracking confidence/difficulty/ROI

## Expected Timeline
- **Current rate:** ~50 steps per batch, ~10 batches/hour
- **Remaining:** 4414 steps = ~88 batches = ~9 hours
- **Milestone targets:**
  - 1000 steps: Bigrams emerge
  - 2000 steps: Short words form
  - 3000 steps: Phrases appear  
  - 5000 steps: Coherent sentences possible

## Next Actions
Continue feeding training_batches/batch_*.txt files through mcp3_fastfood
- Check metrics every 500 steps
- Test generation every 1000 steps
- Save checkpoints at milestones

## Notes
- System is stable, all bugs fixed
- 19.6M param model running efficiently on RTX 5060
- Self-learning loop engaged: runtime → controller → SASS → memory → proto_lm training
- Just needs compute time to reach word-level coherence
