# Additional Experiments

The table below adds experiments to answer additional questions about various design choices. The first row uses the same settings as the main chapter and is used as a reference.
For example, 

- comparing rows 1 and 2 answers the question: "What is the performance difference when we train the last or first token?";
- comparing rows 1 and 3 answers the question: "What is the performance difference when we train only the last layer instead of the last block?";
- and so forth.
