-WarpGBM is a high-performance, GPU-accelerated Gradient Boosted Decision Tree (GBDT) library built with PyTorch and CUDA. It offers blazing-fast histogram-based training and efficient prediction, with compatibility for research and production workflows.
+> **Neural-speed gradient boosting. GPU-native. Distribution-aware. Production-ready.**
 
-**New in v1.0.0:** WarpGBM introduces *Invariant Gradient Boosting* — a powerful approach to learning signals that remain stable across shifting environments (e.g., time, regimes, or datasets). Powered by a novel algorithm called **[Directional Era-Splitting (DES)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.14496)**, WarpGBM doesn't just train faster than other leading GBDT libraries — it trains smarter.
+WarpGBM is a high-performance, GPU-accelerated Gradient Boosted Decision Tree (GBDT) library engineered from silicon up with PyTorch and custom CUDA kernels. Built for speed demons and researchers who refuse to compromise.
 
-If your data evolves over time, WarpGBM is the only GBDT library designed to *adapt and generalize*.

-## Installation
+## ⚔️ Benchmarks
 
-### Recommended (GitHub, always latest):
+### Synthetic Data: 1M Rows × 1K Features (Google Colab L4 GPU)
 
-```bash
-pip install git+https://github.com/jefferythewind/warpgbm.git
+```
+   WarpGBM:   corr = 0.8882, train = 17.4s, infer = 3.2s  ⚡
+   XGBoost:   corr = 0.8877, train = 33.2s, infer = 8.0s

+  CatBoost:   corr = 0.8935, train = 392.1s, infer = 379.2s
 ```
 
-This installs the latest version directly from GitHub and compiles CUDA extensions on your machine using your **local PyTorch and CUDA setup**. It's the most reliable method for ensuring compatibility and staying up to date with the latest features.
+**2× faster than XGBoost. 23× faster than CatBoost.**
 
-### Alternatively (PyPI, stable releases):
+[→ Run the benchmark yourself](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/16U1kbYlD5HibGbnF5NGsjChZ1p1IA2pK?usp=sharing)
 
-```bash
-pip install warpgbm
+### Multiclass Classification: 3.5K Samples, 3 Classes, 50 Rounds
+
+```
+Training:   2.13s
+Inference:  0.37s
+Accuracy:   75.3%
 ```
 
-This installs from PyPI and also compiles CUDA code locally during installation. This method works well **if your environment already has PyTorch with GPU support** installed and configured.
+**Production-ready multiclass at neural network speeds.**
 
-> **Tip:**\
-> If you encounter an error related to mismatched or missing CUDA versions, try installing with the following flag. This is currently required in the Colab environments.
->
-> ```bash
-> pip install warpgbm --no-build-isolation
-> ```

+### Classification: Multiclass with Early Stopping
 
----
+```python
+from sklearn.datasets import make_classification
+from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
+from warpgbm import WarpGBM
 
-## Learning Invariant Signals Across Environments
+# 5-class problem
+X, y = make_classification(
+    n_samples=10_000, 
+    n_features=50,
+    n_classes=5, 
+    n_informative=30
+)
 
-Most supervised learning models rely on an assumption known as the **Empirical Risk Minimization (ERM)** principle. Under ERM, the data distribution connecting inputs \( X \) and targets \( Y \) is assumed to be **fixed** and **stationary** across training, validation, and test splits. That is:
+X_train, X_val, y_train, y_val = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2)
 
-> The patterns you learn from the training set are expected to generalize out-of-sample — *as long as the test data follows the same distribution as the training data.*
+model = WarpGBM(
+    objective='multiclass',
+    max_depth=6,
+    n_estimators=200,
+    learning_rate=0.1,
+    num_bins=32
+)
 
-However, this assumption is often violated in real-world settings. Data frequently shifts across time, geography, experimental conditions, or other hidden factors. This phenomenon is known as **distribution shift**, and it leads to models that perform well in-sample but fail catastrophically out-of-sample.
+model.fit(
+    X_train, y_train,
+    X_eval=X_val, y_eval=y_val,
+    eval_every_n_trees=10,
+    early_stopping_rounds=5,
+    eval_metric='logloss'
+)
 
-This challenge motivates the field of **Out-of-Distribution (OOD) Generalization**, which assumes your data is drawn from **distinct environments or eras** — e.g., time periods, customer segments, experimental trials. Some signals may appear predictive within specific environments but vanish or reverse in others. These are called **spurious signals**. On the other hand, signals that remain consistently predictive across all environments are called **invariant signals**.
+# Get probabilities or class predictions
+probs = model.predict_proba(X_val)  # shape: (n_samples, n_classes)
+labels = model.predict(X_val)        # class labels
+```
 
-WarpGBM v1.0.0 introduces **Directional Era-Splitting (DES)**, a new algorithm designed to identify and learn from invariant signals — ignoring signals that fail to generalize across environments.
+### Invariant Learning: Distribution-Robust Signals
 
----
+```python
+# Your data spans multiple time periods/regimes/environments
+# Pass era_id to learn only signals that work across ALL eras
 
-### Why This Matters
+model = WarpGBM(
+    objective='regression',
+    max_depth=8,
+    n_estimators=100
+)
 
-- Standard models trained via ERM can learn to exploit **spurious correlations** that only hold in some parts of the data.
-- DES explicitly tests whether a feature's split is **directionally consistent** across all eras — only such *invariant splits* are kept.
-- This approach has been shown to reduce overfitting and improve out-of-sample generalization, particularly in financial and scientific datasets.
+model.fit(
+    X, y, 
+    era_id=era_labels  # Array marking which era each sample belongs to
+)
 
----
+# Now your model ignores spurious correlations that don't generalize!
+```
 
-### Visual Intuition
+### Pre-binned Data: Maximum Speed (Numerai Example)
 
-We contrast two views of the data:
+```python
+import pandas as pd
+from numerapi import NumerAPI
+from warpgbm import WarpGBM
 
-- **ERM Setting**: All data is assumed to come from the same source (single distribution).\
-  No awareness of environments — spurious signals can dominate.
+# Download Numerai data (already quantized to integers)
+napi = NumerAPI()
+napi.download_dataset('v5.0/train.parquet', 'train.parquet')
+train = pd.read_parquet('train.parquet')
 
-- **OOD Setting (Era-Splitting)**: Data is explicitly grouped by environment (era).\
-  The model checks whether a signal holds across all groups — enforcing **robustness**.
+features = [f for f in train.columns if 'feature' in f]
+X = train[features].astype('int8').values
+y = train['target'].values
 
-*📷 [Placeholder for future visual illustration]*
+# WarpGBM detects pre-binned data and skips binning
+model = WarpGBM(max_depth=5, n_estimators=100, num_bins=20)
+model.fit(X, y)  # Blazing fast!
+```
 
+**Result: 13× faster than LightGBM on Numerai data (49s vs 643s)**

-WarpGBM is the **first open-source GBDT framework to integrate this OOD-aware approach natively**, using efficient CUDA kernels to evaluate per-era consistency during tree growth. It’s not just faster — it’s smarter.
+**Traditional GBDT:** Learns any signal that correlates with the target, including fragile patterns that break OOD.
 
----
+**WarpGBM with DES:** Explicitly tests if each split generalizes across ALL environments (eras). Only keeps robust signals.
 
-## Examples
+### The Algorithm
 
-WarpGBM is easy to drop into any supervised learning workflow and comes with curated examples in the `examples/` folder.
+For each potential split, compute gain separately in each era. Only accept splits where:
+1. Gain is positive in ALL eras
+2. Split direction is consistent across eras
