+
49
+ **Be Fast, Be Efficient.**
50
+
51
+ Speedtronic is an open-source PyTorch training framework. You bring your own `nn.Module`, dataset, and a single YAML config; it runs an efficient training loop on CPU, CUDA, or MPS, with optional asynchronous multi-node training (DumbDiLoCo) synced through a Hugging Face Hub repo instead of a dedicated parameter server.
52
+
53
+ ## What you get
54
+
55
+ - Architecture-neutral training engine: works with any `nn.Module`, not just the bundled model.
56
+ - Reference GPT-style decoder-only transformer (RoPE, GQA, SwiGLU, tied embeddings) so the repo runs out of the box.
57
+ - Single config file per run: local and distributed runs share the same code path.
58
+ - Efficiency defaults: auto mixed precision, gradient accumulation, streaming data loading with prefetch, fused AdamW when available, opt-in `torch.compile` and gradient checkpointing.
59
+ - Local resumable checkpoints (model, optimizer, scheduler, RNG, step counters).
60
+ - DumbDiLoCo: DiLoCo-style local-steps-then-sync, with the Hub as transport. One node is master, the rest are workers. No extra infrastructure to host.
61
+ - Pluggable metrics: stdout/file/JSONL built in, W&B and TensorBoard via optional hooks.
62
+
63
+ ## Requirements
64
+
65
+ - Python >= 3.10
66
+ - PyTorch >= 2.1 (install the CPU or CUDA wheel appropriate for your machine first)
67
+ - `safetensors`, `PyYAML`, `numpy`, `huggingface-hub` (installed automatically)
68
+
69
+ ## Install
70
+
71
+ ```bash
72
+ pip install speedtronic
73
+ # optional logging integrations
74
+ pip install 'speedtronic[logging]'
75
+ ```
76
+
77
+ For a source checkout:
78
+
79
+ ```bash
80
+ pip install -e .
81
+ # dev tools (pytest, ruff)
82
+ pip install -e '.[dev]'
83
+ ```
84
+
85
+ ## Quickstart (60 seconds)
86
+
87
+ Train the bundled reference model on synthetic data (CPU-safe, no downloads):
88
+
89
+ ```bash
90
+ speedtronic train --config configs/smoke.yaml
91
+ ```
92
+
93
+ Validate a config without training:
94
+
95
+ ```bash
96
+ speedtronic validate --config configs/smoke.yaml
97
+ ```
98
+
99
+ Same run from Python:
100
+
101
+ ```python
102
+ from speedtronic import SpeedtronicConfig
103
+ from speedtronic.runtime import train_from_config
104
+
105
+ config = SpeedtronicConfig.from_dict({
106
+ "run": {"name": "demo", "max_steps": 100, "device": "cpu"},
107
+ "model": {
108
+ "name": "reference_transformer",
109
+ "vocab_size": 256,
110
+ "max_seq_len": 64,
111
+ "n_layer": 2,
112
+ "n_head": 4,
113
+ "n_kv_head": 2,
114
+ "d_model": 64,
115
+ },
116
+ "data": {"micro_batch_size": 2, "target_batch_size": 8},
117
+ "precision": {"mode": "fp32"},
118
+ })
119
+ result = train_from_config(config)
120
+ print(result.steps, result.final_loss)
121
+ ```
122
+
123
+ CLI flags override the file without editing it:
124
+
125
+ ```bash
126
+ speedtronic train --config configs/smoke.yaml --max-steps 100 --output-dir runs/demo --resume
127
+ ```
128
+

152
+ ```
153
+
154
+ ## Configuration
155
+
156
+ One `SpeedtronicConfig` drives everything. Load from YAML, JSON, a JSON/YAML string, or a plain dict. Unknown keys are rejected so typos fail fast.
157
+
158
+ | Section | Controls |
159
+ |---|---|
160
+ | `run` | name, seed, device (`auto`/`cpu`/`cuda`/`mps`), `max_steps`, `output_dir` |
161
+ | `model` | registered model name + architecture params |
162
+ | `data` | `micro_batch_size` / `target_batch_size` (accumulation derived), text path or synthetic source, workers, prefetch, pin_memory, shuffle |
163
+ | `optimizer` | AdamW LR, betas, eps, weight decay, optional fused, grad clip |
164
+ | `scheduler` | `cosine` (default) or `constant`, warmup steps, min LR ratio |
165
+ | `precision` | `auto`/`bf16`/`fp16`/`fp32`; auto picks bf16 on capable CUDA, fp32 elsewhere |
166
+ | `compile` | opt-in `torch.compile`; logs and continues uncompiled if unsupported |
167
+ | `gradient_checkpointing` | calls the model's `set_gradient_checkpointing()` hook if present |
168
+ | `checkpoint` | directory, interval, retention (`keep_last`), resume flag |
169
+ | `logging` | level, file, JSONL file, step cadence, hook list |
170
+ | `distributed` | DumbDiLoCo role, node id, Hub repo, inner/outer loop tuning (see below) |
171
+
172
+ Top-level aliases (`name`, `max_steps`, `output_dir`, `seed`, `device`) are accepted as shorthand for `run.*`.
173
+
174
+ ## Bring your own model
175
+
176
+ The engine only requires a module that maps a batch to a loss. Return a tensor, a `{"loss": ...}` dict, or a `(loss, ...)` tuple. Dict batches are passed as kwargs; tuple batches are passed as `(inputs, labels)`.
177
+
178
+ ```python
179
+ import torch
180
+ from speedtronic import register_model
181
+
182
+ @register_model("my_model")
183
+ def make_model(**kwargs):
184
+ return torch.nn.TransformerEncoder(
185

195
+
196
+ For activation checkpointing, expose `set_gradient_checkpointing(enabled)` on your module; the trainer calls it and warns if it is absent.
197
+
198
+ ## Bring your own data
199
+
200
+ - Default: deterministic synthetic token stream (good for smoke tests and benchmarking the loop).
201
+ - `data.text_path`: streams a UTF-8 file in fixed-size token blocks without loading it into RAM.
202
+ - `build_dataloader(..., dataset=..., tokenizer=...)`: pass any PyTorch `Dataset`/`IterableDataset` directly.
203
+ - `micro_batch_size` is what the loader emits; `target_batch_size` is the effective batch after accumulation. The trainer handles the math and keeps mixed precision correct across accumulation steps.
204
+
205
+ ## Efficiency behavior
206
+
207
+ - **Precision:** `auto` uses bf16 where `torch.cuda.is_bf16_supported()`, fp16 with `GradScaler` on CUDA otherwise, fp32 on CPU/MPS. Explicit modes are honored unless the hardware cannot run them, in which case the run falls back to fp32 instead of crashing.
208
+ - **`torch.compile`:** never a hard failure. Unsupported combinations log and continue eagerly, including a runtime fallback if a compiled step throws.
209
+ - **Fused AdamW:** used only when construction with `fused=True` succeeds on CUDA.
210
+ - **Attention:** the reference model uses `scaled_dot_product_attention` so PyTorch picks flash / memory-efficient / math per device. No flash-attn dependency.
211
+ - **Data:** `num_workers`, `prefetch_factor`, and `pin_memory` are configurable; iterable datasets skip sampler shuffling (implement shuffling in the stream if needed).
212
+
213
+ ## Checkpoints and resume
214
+
215
+ Checkpoints store model weights, optimizer state, scheduler state, step/sample/token counters, RNG state, redacted config copy, and (for DumbDiLoCo) coordinator state. Files are written to temp + atomic rename; a `latest.json` pointer tracks the newest checkpoint.
216
+
217
+ ```bash
218
+ speedtronic train --config configs/smoke.yaml --resume
219
+ ```
220
+
221
+ `max_steps` is a global step target, so resuming with the same config continues rather than restarting. Saved Hub tokens are redacted (`<redacted>`) in stored configs; provide tokens via environment at runtime.
222
+
223
+ ## DumbDiLoCo (distributed without a parameter server)
224
+
225
+ Each node trains locally for `inner_steps` AdamW steps, uploads a pseudo-gradient (`weights_at_last_sync - current_weights`) to its own `nodes/<node_id>/` folder in a Hub repo, and periodically pulls the newest global weights. The master aggregates whatever deltas arrived since the last round (simple mean), applies Nesterov momentum SGD, and publishes `global/latest.safetensors` + `global/step_count.json`. Nodes never share a clock and never block on stragglers.
226
+
227
+ ```yaml
228
+ distributed:
229
+ enabled: true
230
+ mode: dumb_diloco
231
+ role: master # worker on the other machines
232
+ node_id: node-a # unique per participant, path-safe
233
+ repo_id: my-org/my-run
234
+ # token: prefer HF_TOKEN env var over YAML
235
+ inner_steps: 500
236
+ poll_interval: 60
237
+ outer_lr: 0.7
238
+ outer_momentum: 0.9
239
+ ```
240
+
241
+ Repo layout on the Hub:
242
+
243
+ ```text
244
+ <run>/
245
+ global/latest.safetensors
246
+ global/step_count.json
247
+ nodes/<node_id>/delta_<local_step>.safetensors
248
+ ```
249
+
250
+ Operational notes:
251
+
252
+ - The master creates the repo (private by default) and attempts `collaborators` grants where the installed Hub SDK supports it; otherwise grant write access in the repo settings UI.
253
+ - `node_id` defaults to `HF_USERNAME` / `USER` / `local` if unset; set it explicitly per machine.
254
+ - Transient Hub failures retry with exponential backoff and never kill local training; a failed delta upload is retried as a cumulative delta at the next boundary.
255
+ - A corrupt delta is logged with its filename and skipped for that round.
256
+ - A restarted worker resumes from the latest global weights (at most one partial inner loop is lost). A restarted master resumes global weights, outer step, processed-delta set, and Nesterov momentum from its local `state_dir`.
257
+ - `distributed.reset_inner_optimizer` (default `true`) clears Adam state at each inner-loop boundary so stale moments do not leak across sync rounds.
258
+
259
+ Security model: trusted collaborators only. Anyone with a valid write token for the repo can influence the global model. There is no cryptographic node identity, Byzantine fault tolerance, or staleness weighting. Do not point this at a public-write repo.
260
+
261
+ ## Metrics
262
+
263
+ Every run logs `loss`, `lr`, `steps/sec`, `samples/sec`, `tokens/sec`, memory (when the backend exposes it), and — for DumbDiLoCo — outer step plus deltas found/included per round. Output goes to stdout by default, optionally to a file and/or JSONL (`logging.file`, `logging.json_file`). `MetricLogger(hooks=[...])` accepts `(event, payload)` callables or objects with `on_event`; W&B and TensorBoard adapters live in `integrations.py` and stay optional dependencies.

265
+ ## Development
266
+
267
+ ```bash
268
+ pip install -e '.[dev]'
269
+ pytest -q
270
+ ruff check src tests examples
271
+ ruff format --check src tests examples
272
+ python -m compileall src
273
+ ```
274
+
275
+ Tests are CPU-only. Hub tests use fakes; no network or credentials required.
276
+
277
+ ## Scope and non-goals
278
+
279
+ - One reference model, not a model zoo.
280
+ - No tokenizer training tooling.
281
+ - No FSDP or pipeline parallelism.
282
+ - No open/adversarial participation mode.
283
+ - No hosted dashboard; CLI + config files only.
284
+ - Mid-inner-loop worker resume is out of scope (restart from latest global).
