- ## What It Does
10
-
11
- Entroplain monitors your LLM's **predictive entropy** — the uncertainty in its output distribution — to detect when reasoning has converged.
12
-
13
- ```text
14
- High entropy → Model is searching, exploring, uncertain
15
- Low entropy → Model is confident, converged, ready to output
16
- ```
17
-
18
- **Key insight:** Reasoning follows a multi-modal entropy trajectory. Local minima ("valleys") mark reasoning milestones. Exit at the right valley, save 40-60% compute with minimal accuracy loss.
19

21
-
22
- ## Quick Start
23
-
24
- ### Install
25
-
26
- ```bash
27
- # Python (pip)
28
- pip install entroplain
29
-
30
- # Node.js (npm)
31
- npm install entroplain
32
- ```
33
-
34
- ### Requirements
35
-
36
- **Python:** 3.8+
37
-
38
- **Node.js:** 18+
39
-
40
- **For cloud providers:** Set API keys via environment variables:
41
- ```bash
42
- export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
43
- export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
44
- export NVIDIA_API_KEY=nvapi-...
45
- ```
46
-
47
- **For local models:** Install [Ollama](https://ollama.ai) or [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp)
48
-
49
- ### Use with Any Agent
50
-
51
- ```python
52
- from entroplain import EntropyMonitor
53
-
54
- monitor = EntropyMonitor()
55
-
56
- # Stream tokens with entropy tracking
57
- async for token, entropy in monitor.stream(agent.generate()):
58
- print(f"{token} (entropy: {entropy:.3f})")
59
-
60
- # Detect reasoning convergence
61
- if monitor.is_converged():
62
- break # Early exit — reasoning complete
63
- ```
64
-
65
- ---
66
-
67
- ## How It Works
68
-
69
- ### 1. Track Entropy Per Token
70
-
71
- Every token has an entropy value derived from the model's output distribution:
72
-
73
- ```python
74
- entropy = -sum(p * log2(p) for p in probabilities if p > 0)
75
- ```
76
-
77
- ### 2. Detect Valleys
78
-
79
- Local minima in the entropy trajectory indicate reasoning milestones:
80
-
81
- ```text
82
- Entropy: 0.8 → 0.6 → 0.3* → 0.5 → 0.2* → 0.1*
83
- ↑ ↑
84
- Valley 1 Valley 2
85
- ```
86
-
87
- ### 3. Exit at the Right Moment
88
-
89
- When valley count plateaus and velocity stabilizes, reasoning is complete.
90
-
91
- ---
92
-
93
- ## Experimental Evidence
94
-
95
- Tested on Llama-3.1-70b via NVIDIA API:
96
-
97
- | Difficulty | Avg Valleys | Avg Entropy | Avg Velocity |
98
- |------------|-------------|-------------|--------------|
99
- | Easy | 61.3 | 0.3758 | 0.4852 |
100
- | Medium | 53.0 | 0.3267 | 0.4394 |
101
- | Hard | 70.2 | 0.2947 | 0.4095 |
102
-
103
- **Finding:** Hard problems have more entropy valleys (70.2 vs 61.3) — valleys correlate with reasoning complexity.

24
+ ## Quick Start
25
+
26
+ ### Install
27
+
28
+ ```bash
29
+ # Python (pip)
30
+ pip install entroplain
31
+
32
+ # Node.js (npm)
33
+ npm install entroplain
34
+ ```
35
+
36
+ ### Requirements
37
+
38
+ **Python:** 3.8+
39
+
40
+ **Node.js:** 18+
41
+
42
+ **For cloud providers:** Set API keys via environment variables:
43
+
44
+ ```bash
45
+ export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
46
+ export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
47
+ export NVIDIA_API_KEY=nvapi-...
48
+ ```
49
+
50
+ **For local models:** Install [Ollama](https://ollama.ai) or [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp)
51
+
52
+ ---
53
+
54
+ ## 🚀 Works With Any Agent (Proxy Method)
55
+
56
+ The **proxy** is the easiest way to use Entroplain with OpenClaw, Claude Code, or any other agent framework:
57
+
58
+ ### How It Works
59
+
60
+ ```
61
+ Your Agent → Proxy (localhost:8765) → Real API
62
+
63
+
64
+ Entropy Monitor
65
+
66
+
67
+ Early Exit Check
68
+ ```
69
+
70
+ The proxy intercepts all LLM API calls, monitors entropy, and terminates streams when reasoning converges.
71
+
72
+ ### Setup (One-Time)
73
+
74
+ ```bash
75
+ # Install with proxy support
76
+ pip install entroplain[proxy]
77
+
78
+ # Start the proxy
79
+ entroplain-proxy --port 8765 --log-entropy
80
+
81
+ # Point your agent to the proxy
82
+ export OPENAI_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8765/v1
83
+
84
+ # or for NVIDIA:
85
+ export NVIDIA_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8765/v1
86
+
87
+ # or for Anthropic:
88
+ export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8765/v1
89
+ ```
90
+
91
+ That's it! Now run your agent normally and entropy monitoring is automatic.
92
+
93
+ ### Proxy Options
94
+
95
+ ```bash
96
+ # Monitor only, don't exit early
97
+ entroplain-proxy --port 8765 --no-early-exit
98
+
99
+ # Custom thresholds
100
+ entroplain-proxy --port 8765 --entropy-threshold 0.2 --min-valleys 3
101
+
102
+ # Enable cost tracking
103
+ entroplain-proxy --port 8765 --model gpt-4o --log-entropy
104
+
105
+ # Launch dashboard
106
+ entroplain-dashboard --port 8050
107
+ ```
108
+
109
+ ---
110
+
111
+ ## 🎯 Dashboard
112
+
113
+ Real-time entropy visualization:
114
+
115
+ ```bash
116
+ # Start the dashboard
117
+ entroplain-dashboard --port 8050
118
+
119
+ # Open in browser
120
+ open http://localhost:8050
121
+ ```
122
+
123
+ The dashboard shows:
124
+ - **Live entropy curve** with valley markers
125
+ - **Token count** and valleys detected
126
+ - **Cost savings** in real-time
127
+ - **Status badges** (active/idle/exited)
128
+
129
+ ---
130
+
131
+ ## 💰 Cost Tracking
132
+
133
+ Track actual savings from early exit:
134
+
135
+ ```python
136
+ from entroplain import CostTracker
137
+
138
+ tracker = CostTracker(model="gpt-4o")
139
+ tracker.track_input(100) # 100 input tokens
140
+ tracker.track_output(50) # 50 output tokens
141
+ tracker.set_full_estimate(150) # Would have been 150
142
+
143
+ estimate = tracker.get_estimate()
144
+ print(f"Saved ${estimate.cost_saved_usd:.4f} ({estimate.savings_percent:.1f}%)")
145
+ ```
146
+
147
+ **Supported pricing:** GPT-4o, GPT-4-turbo, Claude 4, Llama 3.1 (NVIDIA), or custom rates.
148
+
149
+ ---
150
+
151
+ ## Direct Usage (Python)
152
+
153
+ If you want more control, use Entroplain directly:
154
+
155
+ ```python
156
+ from entroplain import EntropyMonitor, NVIDIAProvider
157
+
158
+ monitor = EntropyMonitor()
159
+ provider = NVIDIAProvider()
160
+
161
+ for token in provider.stream_with_entropy(
162
+ model="meta/llama-3.1-70b-instruct",
163
+ messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Solve: x^2 = 16"}]
164
+ ):
165
+ monitor.track(token.token, token.entropy)
166
+ print(token.token, end="")
167
+
168
+ if monitor.should_exit():
169
+ print("\n[Early exit - reasoning converged]")
170
+ break
171
+
172
+ print(f"\nStats: {monitor.get_stats()}")
173
+ ```

176
+
177
+ ## How It Works
178
+
179
+ ### 1. Track Entropy Per Token
180
+
181
+ Every token has an entropy value derived from the model's output distribution:
182
+
183
+ ```python
184
+ entropy = -sum(p * log2(p) for p in probabilities if p > 0)
185
+ ```
186
+
187
+ ### 2. Detect Valleys
188
+
189
+ Local minima in the entropy trajectory indicate reasoning milestones:
190
+
191
+ ```text
192
+ Entropy: 0.8 → 0.6 → 0.3* → 0.5 → 0.2* → 0.1*
193
+ ↑ ↑
194
+ Valley 1 Valley 2
195
+ ```
196
+
197
+ ### 3. Exit at the Right Moment
198
+
199
+ When valley count plateaus and velocity stabilizes, reasoning is complete.
200
+

202
+
203
+ ## Exit Strategies
204
+
205
+ Choose how Entroplain detects convergence:
206
+
207
+ | Strategy | Description |
208
+ |----------|-------------|
209
+ | `combined` | Entropy low OR valleys plateau, AND velocity stable (default) |
210
+ | `valleys_plateau` | Exit when reasoning milestones stabilize |
211
+ | `entropy_drop` | Exit when model confidence is high |
212
+ | `velocity_zero` | Exit when entropy stops changing |
213
+ | `repetition` | Exit when model starts repeating itself |
214
+ | `confidence` | Exit when top token prob > 95% for N tokens |
215
+
216
+ ```python
217
+ monitor = EntropyMonitor(
218
+ exit_condition="repetition", # or "confidence", "combined", etc.
219
+ repetition_threshold=0.3, # Exit when 30% of recent tokens repeat
220
+ )
221
+ ```
222
+
223
+ ---
224
+
225
+ ## Experimental Evidence
226
+
227
+ Tested on Llama-3.1-70b via NVIDIA API:
228
+
229
+ | Difficulty | Avg Valleys | Avg Entropy | Avg Velocity |
230
+ |------------|-------------|-------------|--------------|
231
+ | Easy | 61.3 | 0.3758 | 0.4852 |
232
+ | Medium | 53.0 | 0.3267 | 0.4394 |
233
+ | Hard | 70.2 | 0.2947 | 0.4095 |
234
+
235
+ **Finding:** Hard problems have more entropy valleys (70.2 vs 61.3) — valleys correlate with reasoning complexity.
