rf-r16-sp03 (SN38 ChronoLLM, vintage 2025)

Continued pre-training of anacoluthe89/chrono4-2024 (R15 winner, used with the author's permission) toward a 2025 knowledge cutoff.

• Architecture: sn38-nanochrono (unchanged from the base; loads with the official SN38 loader, trust_remote_code=False).
• Recipe: two fine-tunes of the base on a cleaned 2024–2025 corpus (news / web / Wikipedia revisions dated ≤ 2025-12-31), one with self-distillation replay of the base's own answers. The final weights are a linear interpolation (0.3 / 0.7) of the two.
• No 2026 text was used for training.
