Summary
Introduces an opt‑in report_accuracy flag to display token‑level accuracy during training reports and validation. Accuracy is computed from existing logits with no extra forward pass. When disabled, there is no accuracy compute overhead.
Why
For certain training tasks, users often want quick signal on training quality beyond loss. Accuracy provides a simple, intuitive metric for sanity checks and regressions.
What Changed
default_lossreturn: default_loss now returns(loss, ntoks, logits, targets, mask)so that accuracy can be calculated conditionally outside.Performance Impact
