#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ Debug Copy Task Failure The copy task failed while other tasks succeeded. This script investigates why. Hypothesis: 1. The causal mask prevents looking at future tokens 2. For position i to predict token i, it can only see tokens 0..i-1 3. This makes copying impossible in an autoregressive model! Solution: We should test "shifted" copy where we predict the NEXT token.
