Staged Factorial Screening for Budget-Constrained Micro-Pretraining
arXiv:2606.05186v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Budget-constrained micro-pretraining often requires triaging many candidate recipes on a shared accelerator before larger search budgets are spent. We study whether a staged fractional-factorial workflow can recover stable early effect structure in this setting. On a fixed autoresearch-derived single-GPU training loop, we run 613 experiments across pilot and follow-up screens at 2, 5, and 10 minutes; full 16-condition seeded reruns at 5 and 10 minu
