Training run at ~$11/b tokens with insane MFU, datasets streamed over p2p backbone

The author shares a dashboard and details of a training run: roughly $11/b tokens, with MFU described as "insane" and inference also strong.
Technical detail: GPU node bandwidth carries both training and dataset streaming — nodes don't predownload datasets; data streams from p2p backbone/syncer nodes with cursor failover for distribution and failover handling. Some nodes came from lium.io.
