+ ## Install
59
+
60
+ **From GitHub (works right now):**
61
+ ```bash
62
+ pip install git+https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/aether.git
63
+ ```
64
+
65
+ **From PyPI (after publishing):**
66
+ ```bash
67
+ pip install aether-nn
68
+ ```
69
+
70
+ **Clone locally:**
71
+ ```bash
72
+ git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/aether.git
73
+ cd aether
74
+ pip install -e .
75
+ ```
76
+
77

78
+
79
+ ## Flux Language
80
+
81
+ Aether comes with **Flux** — its own programming language for neural networks.
82
+ Write a model in 10 lines instead of 500.
83
+
84
+ **Create a file `mymodel.fx`:**
85
+ ```flux
86
+ model ChatBot {
87
+ size: micro
88
+ vocab: 32000
89
+ context: infinite
90
+
91
+ memory {
92
+ working: 512
93
+ episodic: 2048
94
+ semantic: 8192
95
+ }
96
+
97
+ block * 6 {
98
+ attend fractal(scales=3, heads=8)
99
+ remember hierarchical()
100
+ think sparse_moe(experts=4)
101
+ }
102
+
103
+ quantize: ternary
104
+ }
105
+
106
+ train ChatBot {
107
+ data: "data.txt"
108
+ steps: 10000
109
+ batch: 4
110
+ lr: 3e-4
111
+ device: auto
112
+ save: "./checkpoints"
113
+ }
114
+
115
+ generate ChatBot {
116
+ prompt: "Hello"
117
+ tokens: 200
118
+ temperature: 0.8
119
+ }
120
+ ```
121
+
122
+ **Run it:**
123
+ ```bash
124
+ python flux/flux.py run mymodel.fx
125
+ ```
126
+
127
+ **Or use Flux CLI:**
128
+ ```bash
129
+ python flux/flux.py check mymodel.fx # syntax check
130
+ python flux/flux.py compile mymodel.fx # show generated Python
131
+ python flux/flux.py new MyModel # create template
132
+ ```
133
+

135
+
136
+ ## Python API
137
+
138
+ ```python
139
+ from aether import AetherModel, AetherConfig
140
+
141
+ config = AetherConfig.nano() # 0.6 MB
142
+ model = AetherModel(config)
143
+
144
+ import torch
145
+ ids = torch.randint(0, 256, (1, 32))
146
+ out = model(ids)
147
+ print(out["logits"].shape) # (1, 32, 256)
148
+ ```
149
+
150
+ ---
151
+
152
+ ## Why Aether?
153
+
154
+ The Transformer solved one problem: parallelizing RNNs.
155
+ Aether solves **six problems** of the Transformer simultaneously.

+ ## Architecture
182
+
183
+ 5 innovations in one unified system:
184
+
185
+ ```
186
+ [1] Fractal Sparse Attention O(n·log n) vs O(n²)
187
+ [2] Hierarchical Memory Infinite context
188
+ [3] Asymmetric Depth Routing 10-50x compute savings
189
+ [4] Causal World Model True reasoning
190
+ [5] Continuous Learning Adapts at inference time
191
+ ```
192
+

194
+
195
+ ## Training
196
+
197
+ ```bash
198
+ # With Flux (recommended)
199
+ python flux/flux.py run flux/examples/nano.fx
200
+
201
+ # With Python directly
202
