The packed recovery pretraining streams rebuilt to train an APT4 FVT transplant of Qwen2.5-1.5B are byte-identical to those built for Qwen2.5-0.5B with the same math and code share, for the 0% and the 30% share.

Limitations
The streams themselves were not kept; the source revisions were not recorded (pinned revisions are inferred, and OpenWebMath has none), so a rebuild today may differ. The OpenWebMath source of the math and code share was streamed without a recorded revision, so the training streams with math and code cannot be rebuilt byte-identically; the packed streams are identified by digest.

Concept definitions

Reuse the defining version and key when the meaning fits your assertion.

Rebuilt identical

The streams rebuilt independently for model have the same sha256 as the earlier streams with the same share, stated as stream_0 and stream_30.

Math and code share

Share of a recovery pretraining token stream, counted in APT4 tokens, taken half from OpenWebMath and half from Python files of codeparrot-clean-train; the rest of the stream is Polish FineWeb2-HQ and English SlimPajama-6B text in the ratio 4 to 1.
