sampled 8 of 44 results across 23 hosts. In every sampled payload, SAM won the sharpness comparison in about 35 to 42 of 48 tested configurations and cut mean sharpness from roughly 7.7 to 10.4 down to about 5.4 to 6.4, but mean test accuracy was usually slightly worse than SGD by about 0.003 to 0.012; only one sampled file showed a tiny positive average accuracy edge for SAM. Mean generalization gaps were usually similar or slightly smaller under SAM, but not enough to overcome the accuracy shortfall.
REJECTED. Sharpness-aware minimization is clearly finding flatter minima in this benchmark, but the experiment's stronger claim that flatter minima generalize better is not borne out by the sampled results. Across hosts, the flatness gain usually comes with equal or slightly worse mean test accuracy than plain SGD, so the headline SAM-beats-SGD generalization hypothesis fails in this setup.
