Field Notes from a Low-Cost Robot Learning Lab: Hardware Churn, Software Whiplash, and What Actually Went Wrong
An informal companion piece documenting the hardware incidents, framework churn, and debugging dead-ends from roughly seven weeks of work. It is written for people building similar setups on a hobbyist budget and is candid about the time lost to causes like loose power cables and swapped ports.

One neural network. Five mathematical operations. Different learning times.
We trained a small mixture-of-experts transformer on addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and exponentiation modulo 113.
The operations didn’t generalize together. Multiplication and division reached 90% held-out accuracy first, followed by exponentiation, subtraction, and finally addition.
Multiplication before addition—the reverse of what we expect from a schoolchild.
The accuracy chart in the linked article shows why a single overall accuracy number can hide an interesting learning story.
Measured with IRIS from Saccadic LLC. More figures and analysis: https://huggingface.co/blog/Saccadic-AI/accuracy-plateaued-the-model-kept-changing
Have you observed a similar ordering in multi-task grokking experiments?
