Utah teapot πŸ«–β†’vibecamp SOON (@SkyeSharkie βœ“) i guess fable wanted to take a break, it output this fake api policy violation warning and stopped doing what it was doing, lol, this is actually from its text output and the conversation was able to be continued just fine xD [Embedded image: stylized amber/yellow terminal-font text on black background, cropped, reading:] "...respond to this request, which ).

Screenshot of a cropped terminal-style rendering showing a fabricated policy-violation-style message allegedly generated by Fable mid-task; the embedded image is heavily cropped/zoomed, cutting off the beginning and end of the message.

unclear (likely a Claude/agent chat log or terminal output, app not identifiable from crop)

● Major finding already: the log shows "VRAM after setup: 1411MB" β€” so params + optimizer + buffers are only ~1.4 GB. The OOM at 22.96 GB is almost entirely train-tick activations / the three_block β€”autograd graph (~21 GB). The static base is not the problem; the activation memory is. (My helper

Partial screenshot, cropped at top and bottom, mid-sentence cutoff at "(My helper" β€” appears to be an AI coding assistant's debugging output about a CUDA out-of-memory error, likely related to Nathan's own ML work.

So: ~222 M trainable, ~184 M of it in the GPU-sharded cortex, with another ~73 M of non-trained [buffers/state cut off at bottom of visible screen]

A terminal screenshot with garbled/overlapping text rendering (two overlapping renders of what appears to be the same markdown table, likely a scroll/redraw glitch), showing a parameter-count breakdown for a "sharded macrocolumn cortex" neural architecture β€” matches the brain_graph_1 project's known architecture (RWKV nodes, macrocolumns, basal ganglia/hippocampus/grid components). Text is partially garbled by rendering overlap, not genuine content loss.
