Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported slow training and non-decreasing validation loss with encoding.nn.SyncBatchNorm, recording the training setup and observed behavior. Compare the SyncBatchNorm run with a baseline that does not use it, then document a confirmed cause or a reproducible failure case as the definition of done.
