Research direction
Start with benchmark_litgpt.py and the parameters visible in the attached reproduction screenshot, using the pjnl-20241122 environment details as the baseline. Compare the two affected model benchmarks with the earlier performance and identify what changed; done means the regression is explained and performance is restored or the remaining cause is documented.
