Researchers have identified a new generalization failure in deep learning models called "forking," which occurs under data replay. This phenomenon, observed in models like NanoGPT and DeepSeek, manifests as a sharp divergence between training and validation loss at epoch boundaries. The issue is exacerbated by n-gram memory branches that over-encode context, leading to suppressed probabilities for unseen continuations. While autoresearch agents can produce numerous results, this paper highlights the need for caution with their outputs, as forking appears to be an unintended consequence of such techniques. AI
