Description

The epoch number is increased in the last line before the training finishes so that it is no longer correct. It's a problem in all finetuning scripts:

```
Epoch 4 | iter 961 step 961 | loss train: 1.062, val: 1.057 | iter time: 529.46 ms (step)
Epoch 4 | iter 962 step 962 | loss train: 0.937, val: 1.057 | iter time: 503.53 ms (step)
Epoch 4 | iter 963 step 963 | loss train: 0.971, val: 1.057 | iter time: 522.10 ms (step)
Epoch 4 | iter 964 step 964 | loss train: 0.902, val: 1.057 | iter time: 115.27 ms (step)
Epoch 5 | iter 965 step 965 | loss train: 1.182, val: 1.057 | iter time: 743.31 ms (step)
Training time: 583.36s
Memory used: 14.49 GB

Research direction

Start by locating the finetuning scripts that produce the epoch and iteration log, then reproduce the final training output shown in the issue. The work is done when the last logged epoch number remains correct across all finetuning scripts without changing the subsequent training, timing, memory, or saving messages.
