- shard the Muon Newton-Schulz orthogonalization over the FSDP mesh instead of partial local slices
- import HF checkpoints faithfully: per-head RoPE permutation for q/k projections and qk-norm, qwen3, shared experts, and qk-norm before RoPE (changes numerics for existing use_qk_norm checkpoints)
- make preprocessing and resume self-contained: backfill realigned bucket keys by semantics (masks ones, rest zeros) and snapshot tokenizer files into every checkpoint
- keep RL consistent: sync the offline GRPO old_model each optimizer step and validate online strategies through a public one-off-rollout hook that leaves the replay cache untouched
- fix streaming serving: withhold partial tool-call prefixes with a stream-end flush, stream tool-call arguments from the raw source span, and terminate SSE frames with a blank line
- fix sampling semantics: capture logprobs before top-k/top-p mutate logits in place and detect greedy pipelines polymorphically instead of isinstance bookkeeping
- re-register the linear family with the operator dispatcher (ASTR_OPS / op_backend / resolve)
- fix bf16 gemv misaligned-address faults and element mispairing for offset weights
- reject misaligned bf16_swiglu inputs with a clear error and fall back in the backend gate
- make the rollout reuse decision, validation, and return atomic under one policy snapshot
- add the documented post-scoring rollout version check
- derive live+1 under the scheduler lock in optimizer_step via apply_weight_update(None, ...)
- reject rollout_max_policy_lag below rollout_interval - 1 at config time
- sync gemv stream-test inputs before switching streams; drop dead loader imports
Feed sampler-aligned behavior log-probabilities directly into online GRPO instead of allocating, synchronizing, and forwarding a duplicate old-policy model. Keep the old-model path as an offline compatibility fallback and validate supplied rollout tensors before loss computation.
Track a monotonic policy version across optimizer steps, scheduler updates, and rollout results. Serialize synchronous generation with weight acknowledgements and invalidate reusable prefix KV entries so cached samples remain attributable to the behavior policy that generated them.
- Write checkpoint payloads to a hidden sibling staging directory, add a versioned checksum manifest, fsync the completed payload, and publish it with an atomic rename
- Republishing an existing step retires the old payload under a hidden sibling name before the atomic rename, so re-runs into the same output directory replace the previous checkpoint instead of raising FileExistsError
- Keep legacy checkpoints loadable, add optional checksum verification, and align metric flushing with checkpoint publication
