 # Contributing to AstrAI
 
-Thank you for your interest in contributing to AstrAI! This document provides guidelines and steps for contributing.
+Thank you for your interest in contributing! This document provides step-by-step guidelines.
 
-## How to Contribute
+## Quick Start
 
-### Reporting Issues
-If you encounter a bug or have a feature request, please open an issue on GitHub. Include as much detail as possible:
-- A clear description of the problem or request.
-- Steps to reproduce (for bugs).
-- Your environment (Python version, OS, etc.).
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/your-username/AstrAI.git
+cd AstrAI
+pip install -e ".[dev]"     # install with dev dependencies (pytest, ruff)
+```
 
-### Submitting Changes
-1. **Fork** the repository.
-2. **Clone** your fork:
-   ```bash
-   git clone https://github.com/your-username/AstrAI.git
-   cd AstrAI
-   ```
-3. **Create a feature branch**:
-   ```bash
-   git checkout -b feature/your-feature-name
-   ```
-4. **Make your changes**. Follow the code style guidelines below.
-5. **Commit your changes** with a descriptive commit message:
-   ```bash
-   git commit -m "Add: brief description of the change"
-   ```
-6. **Push** to your fork:
-   ```bash
-   git push origin feature/your-feature-name
-   ```
-7. **Open a Pull Request** (PR) against the `main` branch of the upstream repository.
+## Before You Commit
 
-## Code Style
+Run the following checks **in order** — CI will reject if any fail.
 
-AstrAI uses [Ruff](https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/) for code formatting and linting. Please ensure your code is formatted before submitting.
+### 1. Format
 
-- Run Ruff to format and lint:
-  ```bash
-  ruff format .
-  ruff check --fix .
-  ```
-- The project uses **double quotes** for strings and **4‑space indentation** (as configured in `pyproject.toml`).
+```bash
+ruff format .
+```
 
-## Testing
+> **Note**: `ruff format` may rename parameters (e.g. `mask` → `attn_mask`).  
+> Always review the diff after formatting.
 
-If you add or modify functionality, please include appropriate tests.
+### 2. Import sorting
 
-- Run the test suite with:
-  ```bash
-  pytest
-  ```
-- Ensure all tests pass before submitting your PR.
+```bash
+ruff check . --select I
+```
+
+If this fails, **manually fix** import ordering (ruff does not auto-fix in this project's CI):
+
+```bash
+ruff check . --select I --fix .
+ruff format .    # re-format after fix
+```
+
+### 3. Run tests
+
+```bash
+python -u -m pytest tests/ -v
+```
+
+> Failed tests may leave orphan tempdirs under `%TEMP%`. Clean them manually if needed.
+
+### 4. (Optional) Full pre-commit check
+
+If you have Git Bash available:
+
+```bash
+bash scripts/pre_commit.sh
+```
+
+This runs format check, import sort check, and tests in one go.
+
+## Commit Style
+
+```
+fix/feat/chore/docs/refactor/perf/test/style/ci/build/revert : short description (~50 chars)
+
+- bullet point body (each ~60 chars)
+```
+
+- **Type** must be one of: `fix`, `feat`, `chore`, `docs`, `refactor`, `perf`, `test`, `style`, `ci`, `build`, `revert`.
+- **Subject line** ends with no period.
+- **Body** uses bullet points starting with `-`.
+- No `(scope)` parentheses.
+
+## Common Issues
+
+| Problem | Cause | Fix |
+|---------|-------|-----|
+| `ruff check --select I` fails | Wrong import order | `ruff check . --select I --fix .` then `ruff format .` |
+| `ruff format` changed many files | Not formatted before commit | Review diff carefully before staging |
+| Pre-commit hook rejects | Tests or lint failed | Fix individually, do not `--no-verify` |
+| Tests fail with tempdir left | Test crash | Clean `%TEMP%` manually |
+
+## Submitting Changes
+
+1. Fork the repo.
+2. Create a feature branch: `git checkout -b feat/my-feature`
+3. Make changes following the steps above.
+4. Commit with the commit style above.
+5. Push: `git push origin feat/my-feature`
+6. Open a Pull Request against `main`.
 
 ## Code Review
 
-All submissions will be reviewed. We may request changes or discuss alternatives. Please be responsive to feedback.
+- All PRs are reviewed. We may request changes.
+- CI runs `ruff format --check .` then `ruff check . --select I` (no `--fix` in CI).
+- Ensure all tests pass.

-# AstrAI Data Flow Documentation
+# Data Flow
 
-This document describes the data flow of the AstrAI project (a training and inference framework for autoregressive Transformer language models). It covers the complete flow from raw data to model training and inference.
+This document describes the data pipeline: from raw text to model input tensors.
 
 ## Overview
 
-AstrAI adopts a modular design with the following main components:
-- **Dataset Module** (`astrai/dataset/`): Dataset, sampler, serialization tools
-- **Model Module** (`astrai/model/`): AutoModel, Transformer model and its submodules
-- **Training Module** (`astrai/trainer/`): Trainer, training context, strategies, schedulers
-- **Inference Module** (`astrai/inference/`): Inference engine with continuous batching, streaming generation
-- **Config Module** (`astrai/config/`): Model, training, scheduler, and other configurations
-- **Factory Module** (`astrai/factory/`): Registry, BaseFactory for component registration
-- **Parallel Module** (`astrai/parallel/`): Distributed training support
-- **Serialization Module** (`astrai/serialization/`): HDF5 data loading, checkpoint management
-
-The data flow can generally be divided into two main lines: **Training Data Flow** and **Inference Data Flow**.

-## Detailed Module Descriptions
+## Data Preparation
 
-### 1. Dataset Module
+Raw text is tokenized via `AutoTokenizer.encode()` and saved as HDF5 (`.h5`) or binary (`.bin` + `meta.json`) files with keyed tensor groups.
 
-#### 1.1 Serialization (`serialization.py`)
-- **`save_h5`**: Saves multiple tensors by groups as HDF5 files (`.h5`), each key corresponds to a list of tensors
-- **`load_h5`**: Loads `.h5` files, returns `Dict[str, List[Tensor]]`, supports shared memory (`share_memory=True`)
-- **`Checkpoint` class**: Encapsulates model state dict, training epoch, iteration count; supports safetensors format for saving and loading
+Storage format is auto-detected by `detect_format()`; backends are dispatched via registry:
 
-#### 1.2 Dataset (`dataset.py`)
-- **`BaseDataset`**: Abstract base class, defines common logic for window sampling, stride, etc.
-- **`BaseSegmentFetcher`** and **`MultiSegmentFetcher`**: Efficiently fetch data from specified index ranges in multiple segments
-- **`DatasetFactory`**: Factory pattern, supports dynamic registration of dataset types (`seq`, `sft`, `dpo`, `grpo`)
-- After dataset loading, multiple data keys (such as `"sequence"`, `"mask"`) are managed through `MultiSegmentFetcher`
+```
+StoreFactory.create("h5")  → H5Store
+StoreFactory.create("bin") → MmapStore
+```
 
-#### 1.3 Sampler (`sampler.py`)
-- **`ResumableDistributedSampler`**: Resumable sampler supporting distributed training
-- Records current epoch and iteration position, enabling training resume from breakpoints
-- Supports shuffle and drop_last options
+H5 backend supports shared memory via `.share_memory_()`. Bin (mmap) uses OS page-cache sharing natively.
 
-### 2. Model Module
+## Data Keys by Training Type

-
-## Training Data Flow - Detailed Steps
-
-1. **Data Preparation**
-   - Raw text is converted to token ID sequences through AutoTokenizer
-   - Token ID sequences (possibly with masks, labels, etc.) are saved by groups as `.h5` files
-   - Files can contain multiple segments, each segment corresponds to a tensor
-
-2. **Dataset Loading**
-   - `BaseDataset`'s `load` method calls `load_h5`, obtaining `segments` dictionary
-   - Create `MultiSegmentFetcher` to manage data for multiple keys
-   - Calculate total sample count, and determine start/end indices for each sample based on window size and stride
-
-3. **Sampling and Batch Loading**
-   - `ResumableDistributedSampler` generates index sequence based on current epoch and iteration position
-   - PyTorch `DataLoader` uses sampler to get indices, calls dataset's `__getitem__` to get actual data
-   - Batch data shape is `[batch_size, window_size]` (or varies according to specific dataset type)
-
-4. **Strategy Forward and Loss Calculation**
-   - Batch data is passed to strategy (such as `SEQStrategy`)
-   - Strategy internally calls `Transformer` model, obtaining logits
-   - Calculate cross-entropy loss (or DPO loss, etc.) according to task type
-   - Return loss tensor
-
-5. **Backpropagation and Optimization**
-   - Loss is normalized by dividing by accumulation steps, then `loss.backward()` is executed
-   - After accumulating `accumulation_steps` batches, optimizer `step()` and `zero_grad()` are executed
-   - Learning rate scheduler updates learning rate after each step
-
-6. **Checkpoint Saving**
-   - `CheckpointCallback` saves checkpoints at set intervals
-   - Checkpoints contain model state dict, current epoch, iteration, and other metadata
-   - Saved in safetensors format, ensuring safety and efficiency
-
-## Inference Data Flow - Detailed Steps
-
-1. **Model Loading**
-   - Load `Transformer` model from checkpoint via `AutoModel.from_pretrained()`
-   - Set model to evaluation mode (`model.eval()`), enable inference mode (`torch.inference_mode`)
-
-2. **Prompt Construction and Encoding**
-   - User messages (list of dict with role and content) are converted to ChatML format string through `apply_chat_template` method in tokenizer
-   - Tokenizer encodes prompt string to token ID sequence `input_ids`
-   - For batch generation, use `pad_sequence` for padding
-
-3. **Autoregressive Generation Loop**
-   - Initialize KV cache (optional) and prefix cache
-   - Loop until generating `max_len` tokens or encountering stop token:
-     - Input current `input_ids` (or cached new token) to model, obtain `logits`
-     - Apply `apply_sampling_strategies` (temperature, top-k, top-p) to `logits`
-     - Sample next token ID from the processed distribution
-     - Append new token to `input_ids`, while updating KV cache
-     - For streaming generation, yield each token to caller immediately
-
-4. **Decoding and Output**
-   - Decode generated token ID sequence to text through tokenizer
-   - Remove special tokens, return plain text response
-
-## Checkpoint and Serialization
-
-- **Training Checkpoint**: Saves model parameters, optimizer state, scheduler state, current epoch and iteration
-- **Model Parameters**: Supports safetensors format, automatically handles special logic like weight tying during loading
-- **Dataset Serialization**: HDF5 format supports efficient random access and shared memory, suitable for large-scale pre-training data
-
-## Summary
-
-The data flow design of AstrAI reflects the characteristics of modularity, extensibility, and resumability. The training data flow supports large-scale distributed training through chunk loading, resumable sampling, gradient accumulation, and other mechanisms; the inference data flow achieves efficient text generation using KV cache, prefix caching, and sampling strategies. Clear interfaces between modules facilitate customization and extension.

-## 1. Why I Created This Project
-
-There are many large language models on the market today, such as GPT, LLaMA, and others, with tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of parameters. But honestly, these models have extremely high hardware requirements, making them inaccessible for ordinary developers. I thought: **Can we create a model that is both useful and can run on ordinary computers?** This is also what most people currently hope for - a locally deployable AI project that achieves complete privatization while maintaining some level of intelligence.
-
-Thus, the AstrAI project was born - 1B parameters, Chinese-English bilingual, supporting dialogue, text generation, and the training code is open source!

-
-### Core Relationships
-
-1. **Configuration → Training**: `TrainConfig` contains `ModelConfig`, holds model, dataset, optimizer and other references
-2. **Training Flow**: `Trainer` → `TrainContextBuilder` → `TrainContext`, uses `BaseStrategy` to compute loss
-3. **Strategy Selection**: `StrategyFactory` creates corresponding strategy instance based on `train_type`
-4. **Inference Flow**: `Server` → `InferenceEngine` → `InferenceScheduler` → `Transformer`, supports continuous batching with streaming/non-streaming
-5. **Distributed Support**: `ParallelSetup` provides multi-process training capability for `Trainer`
-6. **Dataset Loading**: `DatasetFactory` creates datasets (SEQDataset, SFTDataset, DPODataset, GRPODataset), supports HDF5 loading via `BaseSegmentFetcher` and `MultiSegmentFetcher`
-7. **Checkpoint Management**: `Checkpoint` handles model state serialization/deserialization with safetensors
-8. **Scheduler Support**: `SchedulerFactory` creates learning rate schedulers (CosineScheduler, SGDRScheduler)
-9. **AutoModel Loading**: `AutoModel.from_pretrained()` dynamically loads model based on `config.json` model_type, uses `Registry` pattern for model type registration

-## 3. Training Process
-
-The common training process for large language models (LLM) typically includes three stages: **Pre-training (SEQ)**, **Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT)**, and **Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (DPO/GRPO)**. This system is designed to support seamless end-to-end flow, achieving efficient switching and state management of different training stages through modular strategies.
-
-### Core Formulas
-
-**Pre-training (SEQ):**
-
-$$
-L_{\text{PT}} = - \sum_{t=1}^{T} \log P(x_t \mid x_{\lt t}; \theta)
-$$
-
-**SFT:**
-
-$$
-L_{\text{SFT}} = - \sum_{t=P+1}^{P+L} \log P(s_t \mid s_{\lt t}; \theta)
-$$
-
-**DPO:**
-
-$$
-L_{\text{DPO}} = -\mathbb{E}_{(x, y_w, y_l) \sim D} \left[ \log \sigma\left( \beta \log \frac{\pi_\theta(y_w \mid x)}{\pi_{\text{ref}}(y_w \mid x)} - \beta \log \frac{\pi_\theta(y_l \mid x)}{\pi_{\text{ref}}(y_l \mid x)} \right) \right]
-$$
-
-**GRPO:**
-
-GRPO (Group Relative Policy Optimization) computes advantages from multiple responses to the same prompt, then optimizes using a PPO-style clipped objective:
-
-$$
-\text{Advantage}_i = \frac{r_i - \mu}{\sigma + \epsilon}
-$$
-
-Where $r_i$ is the reward for the $i$-th response, $\mu$ and $\sigma$ are the mean and standard deviation of group rewards.
-
-$$
-L_{\text{GRPO}} = -\mathbb{E} \left[ \min\left( \frac{\pi_\theta(a|s)}{\pi_{\text{ref}}(a|s)} \cdot A, \text{clip}\left(\frac{\pi_\theta(a|s)}{\pi_{\text{ref}}(a|s)}, 1-\epsilon, 1+\epsilon\right) \cdot A \right) \right] + \lambda \cdot D_{KL}
-$$
-
-In this implementation, an off-policy approach is used ($\pi_\theta = \pi_{\text{ref}}$), and the policy loss simplifies to:
-
-$$
-L_{\text{policy}} = -\mathbb{E}[A]
-$$
-
-The KL divergence term uses mean squared error approximation:
-
-$$
-L_{KL} = \lambda \cdot \mathbb{E} \left[ (\log \pi_\theta - \log \pi_{\text{ref}})^2 \right]
-$$
-
-The final loss is the sum of both: $L = L_{\text{policy}} + L_{KL}$
-
-Through the above three-stage progressive training, the model completes its evolution from a general language foundation to a specialized, highly-aligned dialogue intelligence.

+# Inference
+
+## KV Cache
+
+At decode time, only the last query token matters. All previous K/V are cached to avoid recomputation:
+
+$$
+o_n = \sum_j \text{softmax}\left(\frac{q_n k_j}{\sqrt{d_k}}\right) v_j
+$$
+
+RoPE is applied **before** KV cache write, not after — otherwise position encoding drift occurs.
+
+## KVCache System
+
+Six classes (plus two helpers) working together:
+
+```
+KVCache (facade)
+  ├── PagePool         orchestrates page allocation + prefix matching
+  │     ├── Allocator   bitmask-based page allocator + ref-count + LRU eviction (inside PagePool)
+  │     └── PrefixCache hash-based prefix matching (page_hash via polynomial hash) (inside PagePool)
+  ├── TaskTable        maps task_id → page_table + cached token count
+  ├── Storage          k_cache / v_cache tensors (n_layers × n_pages × page_size × n_kv_heads × head_dim)
+  └── KvcacheView      bundles Storage + page_table + total_len for attention layers (returned by bind())
+```
+
+`KVCache.bind(page_table, total_len)` returns a `KvcacheView` used by attention layers via `write()` / `gather()`.
+
+## Continuous Batching
+
+`InferenceScheduler` runs a daemon thread with a 4-phase loop:
+
+```
+1. Cleanup → Remove finished tasks, free KV pages
+2. Refill  → Pop from waiting_queue, task_alloc pages, activate
+3. Prefill → Group by (prompt_len, start_pos), run full forward
+4. Decode  → Pick largest same-position group, single-token forward
+```
+
+## Sampling (Strategy Pattern)
+
+```
+BaseSamplingStrategy (ABC)
+  ├── TemperatureStrategy
+  ├── TopKStrategy
+  ├── TopPStrategy
+  └── SamplingPipeline
+```
+
+`SamplingPipeline` composes them: Temperature → Top-K → Top-P → softmax → multinomial.  
+`sample()` is a convenience shortcut for one-shot usage.
+
+## Protocol Handlers (Strategy Pattern)
+
+```python
+class ProtocolHandler:  # concrete orchestrator
+    def __init__(self, request, engine, builder): ...
+    async def handle(self):
+        prompt, ctx, stops = builder.prepare(request, engine)
+        agen = engine.generate_async(prompt, ...)
+        if stream: self._handle_stream(agen, ctx, stops)
+        else:      return await self._handle_non_stream(agen, ctx, stops)
+```
+
+`ResponseBuilder` (ABC): `prepare()`, `format_stream_start()`, `format_chunk()`, `format_stream_end()`, `format_response()`.
+
+`OpenAIResponseBuilder` → `/v1/chat/completions`, `AnthropicResponseBuilder` → `/v1/messages`.
+
+Adding a protocol = one builder file, no handler subclassing needed.
+
+## Engine & GenerateResult
+
+```
+InferenceEngine
+  ├── generate(prompt, stream, ...) → str | List[str] | Generator
+  ├── generate_with_request(req)    → same
+  ├── generate_async(prompt, ...)   → AsyncGenerator
+  ├── get_stats()                   → Dict
+  └── shutdown()
+```
+
+`GenerateResult` uses `Condition` for non-streaming (`wait_completion()`) and `Event` for streaming (`wait()`). Stream callback is `cb(token)`.
+
+## HTTP API
+
+```
+POST /v1/chat/completions   OpenAI
+POST /v1/messages            Anthropic
+GET  /health                 {"status":"ok","model_loaded":true}
+GET  /stats                  scheduler statistics
+```
+
+### OpenAI
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/v1/chat/completions \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}],"max_tokens":512}'
+```
+
+Response:
+```json
+{
+  "id": "chatcmpl-abc123",
+  "object": "chat.completion",
+  "created": 1717000000,
+  "model": "astrai",
+  "choices": [{"index": 0, "message": {"role": "assistant", "content": "Hello!"}, "finish_reason": "stop"}],
+  "usage": {"prompt_tokens": 5, "completion_tokens": 10, "total_tokens": 15}
+}
+```
+
+Streaming SSE: `object: "chat.completion.chunk"` — starts with role delta, then token chunks, ends with finish chunk + usage stats, then `data: [DONE]`.
+
+### Anthropic

-## Model Introduction
-
-### 1. Model Architecture
-
-This model uses the Transformer architecture with GQA mechanism (q_head=24, kv_head=4), which saves KV cache memory compared to traditional MHA. The model is built by stacking 32 layers of Transformer blocks, with 1.0 billion parameters. Transformer is an autoregressive model that calculates the relationship between all previous tokens to obtain the probability distribution of the next token.
-
-The model now uses the **AutoModel** base class for flexible loading and saving:
-
-```python
-from astrai.model import AutoModel
-
-# Load model from checkpoint
-model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("path/to/model")
-
-# Save model to new directory
-model.save_pretrained("path/to/save")
-```
-
-The Transformer model is registered via `@AutoModel.register('transformer')` decorator, allowing easy extension for new model types.

-
-What is an autoregressive model? After splitting a sentence into tokens, the model predicts the probability distribution of the next token. This means the model calculates the probability of the next possible token and its corresponding probability based on the given context (the sequence of tokens that have already appeared).
-
-#### 1. Autoregression
-
-In autoregressive modeling, when a sentence is tokenized into a sequence of tokens, the model learns to predict what comes next. Given a sequence of tokens as input, the model calculates a probability distribution over all possible next tokens. This distribution tells us how likely each potential next token is, given the current context.
-
-For instance, if the input sequence contains tokens representing a question, the model might predict that certain response tokens have higher probabilities than others. The sampling process then selects one token from this distribution—controlled by parameters like top_k, top_p, and temperature—to serve as the next token in the sequence.
-
-Once a token is selected, it is appended to the input sequence, and the model repeats this process. The updated sequence is then fed back into the model to predict the next token. This iterative process continues until either a special end-of-sequence token is generated, or the maximum sequence length is reached. These control tokens are essential because without them, the model would continue generating tokens indefinitely, eventually exhausting available memory.
-
-#### 2. Causal Mask
-
-Transformers use attention mechanism. The input shape is generally [bsz, seq_len], and the output is [bsz, seq_len, n_dim]. To predict the next token, the model's input and output must be offset by one position. The target predicted by the model must be offset by one position, and during training we also use the offset-by-one method:
-
-```
-sequence : [[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]]
-input_ids: [[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]]
-target_ids: [[2, 3, 4, 5, 6]]
-```
-
-The attention score calculation formula is:
-
-$$ s_{ij} = softmax(\frac{q_i^Tk_j}{\sqrt{d_k}}) $$
-$$ s_{ij} := s_{ij} + mask_{ij} $$
-
-Here, the attention score represents the degree to which the model attends to the similarity between two tokens.
-
-For decoder-only structure models, to prevent the model from "stealing" information from future positions, a mask needs to be added during attention calculation. We need to apply a mask before attention score calculation. This mask is typically a lower triangular matrix, and for a sequence of length n, its shape is [n, n]. Below is an example of how to create such a causal mask matrix for a sequence of length 5:
-
-```
-[[0, -inf, -inf, -inf, -inf],
- [0,    0, -inf, -inf, -inf],
- [0,    0,    0, -inf, -inf],
- [0,    0,    0,    0, -inf],
- [0,    0,    0,    0,    0]]
-```
-
-In this matrix, 0 represents positions that can be attended to, while -inf represents positions that should be masked (i.e., should not be attended to). Because this matrix ensures that after the softmax, the parts of the attention scores where $j > i$ change from `inf` to 0, meaning the model cannot see future information.
-
-#### 3. Rotary Position Embedding
-
-Rotary Position Embedding (RoPE) is a position encoding method designed to solve the problem of lacking direct modeling of sequence position information in Transformer models. Unlike traditional position encodings (such as sine and cosine function position encodings), RoPE embeds position information directly into the Query (Q) and Key (K) vectors, allowing the model to more naturally handle relative position relationships in sequences.
-
-$$ q_i = R_i W_q x_i $$
-$$ k_j = R_j W_k x_j $$
-$$ q_i^T k_j = (R_i W_q x_i)^T( R_j W_k x_j) = x_i^T W_q^T R_{i-j} W_k x_j $$
-
-The $R_{i-j}$ controls the attenuation of attention for different tokens at different relative distances. When the absolute value of $i - j$ is larger, the degree of attenuation is stronger. This approach allows the model to learn relative position relationships, enabling the model to scale and adapt to longer sequences.
-
-## KV Cache Implementation
-
-According to the attention calculation formula:
-
-$$
-\begin{align*}
-o_i &= \sum_j s_{ij} v_{j} \newline
-s_{ij} &= \text{softmax}\left( \frac{q_{i} k_{j}}{\sqrt{d_k}} \right)
-\end{align*}
-$$
-
-Since the model is an autoregressive model, we only need to calculate for the last part of the sequence, meaning the index $i$ is fixed as the last element of the sequence, and we compute $o_{n}$:
-
-$$
-\begin{align*}
-o_n &= \sum_j s_{j}v_{j} \newline
-s_j &= \text{softmax}\left(\frac{q_n k_{j}}{\sqrt{d_k}} \right)
-\end{align*}
-$$
-
-If we expand the expression:
-
-$$
-o_n = \sum_j \text{softmax}\left(\frac{q_n k_{j}}{\sqrt{d_k}}\right)v_{j}
-$$
-
-In the above expression, only k and v have length indices, while $q$ does not. Therefore, during the calculation process, the input of $q$ is fixed as the last token from the previous input, while $k$ and $v$ need to be cached for parts of different lengths. Also, when caching, note that position encoding calculation should be performed before KV cache computation, otherwise there will be position encoding calculation errors.
-
-### 4. AutoModel Loading
-
-The project now uses the **AutoModel** base class for flexible model loading and saving:
-
-```python
-from astrai.model import AutoModel
-
-# Load model from checkpoint
-model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("path/to/model")
-
-# Save model to new directory
-model.save_pretrained("path/to/save")
-```
-
-The Transformer model is registered via `@AutoModel.register('transformer')` decorator, allowing easy extension for new model types. The `from_pretrained` method automatically loads the `config.json` to determine the model type and uses safetensors format for weights.
-
-### 5. Continuous Batching Inference
-
-The inference engine supports **continuous batching** for efficient batch processing:
-
-```python
-from astrai.inference import InferenceEngine, GenerationRequest
-
-# Create inference engine with continuous batching
-engine = InferenceEngine(
-    model=model,
-    tokenizer=tokenizer,
-    max_batch_size=8,
-    max_seq_len=4096,
-)
-
-# Use GenerationRequest with messages format
-request = GenerationRequest(
-    messages=[
-        {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant."},
-        {"role": "user", "content": "Hello"},
-    ],
-    temperature=0.8,
-    top_p=0.95,
-    top_k=50,
-    max_len=1024,
-    stream=True,
-)
-
-# Generate with streaming
-for token in engine.generate_with_request(request):
-    print(token, end="", flush=True)
-```
-
-The continuous batching feature allows dynamic batch composition where new requests can join at any time and completed requests are released immediately.
-
-## HTTP API Usage
-
-The inference server provides HTTP endpoints for remote inference. Start the server first:
-
-```bash
-python -m scripts.tools.server --port 8000

+# Preprocessing Pipeline
+
+Declarative JSON-driven data preprocessing. One `SectionedMaskBuilder` handles all formats via `input.sections` (single-output) or `input.sources` (multi-output).
+
+## Philosophy
+
+| Component | Responsibility |
+|-----------|---------------|
+| `tokenizer_config.json` (`chat_template`) | Formatting -- how roles become tokens |
+| `pipeline.json` (`mask`) | Masking -- which roles participate in training |
+
+A single config file captures the entire pipeline, reusable and version-controllable.
+
+## Config Structure
+
+```json
+{
+  "input":         {},   // sections (single) or sources (multi)
+  "mask":          {},   // role → "train" | "mask"
+  "mask_default":  "mask",
+  "preprocessing": {},
+  "output":        {}
+}
+```
+
+### Section Fields
+
+| Field | Type | Default | Description |
+|-------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `field` | str | -- | JSONL key to read |
+| `action` | str | -- | `"train"` / `"mask"` / `"$role"` |
+| `template` | bool | `false` | Apply `chat_template` per message |
+| `add_special_tokens` | bool | `true` for first non-template section | Add special tokens during encode |
+
+### Source Fields (multi-output mode)
+
+| Field | Type | Default | Description |
+|-------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `sections` | list[dict] | -- | Same as single-output section list |
+| `list_field` | bool | `false` | JSONL field holds a list; tokenise each element |
+| `mask_key` | str | `"{key}_mask"` | Explicit output key for loss mask |

+
+## Mask Algorithm
+
+### Template mode (`template: true`)
+
+For each message in the field's array:
+
+1. Prepend BOS token (masked)
+2. Render through `chat_template` for that single message
+3. Encode rendered text
+4. Apply mask rule for the message's role
+
+### Non-template mode
+
+Encode the field value as text. Mask value is 1 (train) or 0 (mask) per the section's `action`.
+
+### Text config detection
+
+When no section uses `template` and all sections have `action: "train"`, the builder skips mask generation entirely — all tokens are trained.
+
+---
+
+## Output Layout
+
+### Single-Shard (`bin`)
+
+```
+output/
+  __default__/
+    meta.json
+    sequence.bin
+    loss_mask.bin
+  wiki/
+    meta.json
+    sequence.bin
+    loss_mask.bin
+```
+
+### Multi-Shard (`bin`)
+
+When `max_tokens_per_shard` is exceeded:
+
+```
+output/
+  __default__/
+    shard_0000/
+      meta.json
+      sequence.bin
+      loss_mask.bin
+    shard_0001/
+      meta.json
+      sequence.bin
+      loss_mask.bin
+```
+
+`MmapStore` discovers all shards under the domain directory via `rglob("meta.json")`.

+# Training
+
+### Autoregression
+
+Given a token sequence, the model predicts the probability of the next token. Each generated token is appended to the input and fed back, repeating until an end-of-sequence token or max length.
+
+### Causal Mask
+
+```
+sequence : [[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]]
+input_ids: [[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]]
+target_ids: [[2, 3, 4, 5, 6]]
+```
+
+Lower-triangular mask prevents attending to future positions:
+
+```
+[[0, -inf, -inf, -inf, -inf],
+ [0,    0, -inf, -inf, -inf],
+ [0,    0,    0, -inf, -inf],
+ [0,    0,    0,    0, -inf],
+ [0,    0,    0,    0,    0]]
+```
+
+### Rotary Position Embedding (RoPE)
+
+RoPE embeds position into Q/K vectors via complex rotation:
+
+$$ q_i = R_i W_q x_i, \quad k_j = R_j W_k x_j, \quad q_i^T k_j = x_i^T W_q^T R_{i-j} W_k x_j $$
+
+The complex rotation `freqs_cis` is pre-computed once (`cos, sin` pairs per position). `apply_rotary_emb` multiplies Q/K as complex numbers.
+
+## Training Loop
+
+Two-level loop: **epoch** → **batch**. Optimizer step fires every `grad_accum_steps` batches.
+
+```
+on_train_begin
+  model.train()
+  on_epoch_begin
+    for batch in dataloader:
+      on_batch_begin
+      with executor.accumulate(model):
+        loss = strategy.compute_loss(batch)
+        context.loss = loss.item()
+        stand_loss = loss / executor.grad_accum_steps
+        executor.backward(stand_loss)
+        context.iteration += 1
+        on_batch_end
+
+        if executor.sync_gradients:
+          on_optimizer_step
+          optimizer.step()
+          optimizer.zero_grad()
+          if scheduler:
+            scheduler.step()
+    on_epoch_end
+on_train_end
+```
+
+### Callback Lifecycle
+
+| Hook | Fires | Default callback |
+|------|-------|-----------------|
+| `on_train_begin` | Before training starts | `GradientCheckpointingCallback` |
+| `on_epoch_begin` | Start of each epoch | `ProgressBarCallback` |
+| `on_batch_begin` | Every batch | — |
+| `on_optimizer_step` | Every accumulation window | `GradientClippingCallback`, `ValidationCallback` |
+| `on_batch_end` | Every batch | `CheckpointCallback`, `MetricLoggerCallback`, `ProgressBarCallback` |
+| `on_epoch_end` | End of each epoch | `ProgressBarCallback` |
+| `on_error` | On exception during training | `CheckpointCallback`, `MetricLoggerCallback` |
+| `on_train_end` | Training ends (always via finally) | `CheckpointCallback`, `MetricLoggerCallback`, `GradientCheckpointingCallback` |
+
+Default callbacks (in order): `gradient_checkpointing` (activation checkpointing, optional), `checkpoint` (safetensors, rank-0), `metric_logger` (JSONL, rank-0), `progress_bar` (tqdm), `gradient_clipping`, `validation` (periodic validation on val_dataset).
+
+## Strategies
+
+### SEQ (Pre-training)
+
+Next-token cross-entropy with optional label smoothing:
+
+$$
+L_{\text{PT}} = -\sum_{t=1}^{T} \log P(x_t \mid x_{\lt t}; \theta)
+$$
+
+Keys: `input_ids`, `target_ids`. Optional: `label_smoothing`.
+
+### SFT (Supervised Fine-Tuning)
+
+Masked cross-entropy (`ignore_index=-100`) over response tokens:
+
+$$
+L_{\text{SFT}} = -\sum_{t=P+1}^{P+L} \log P(s_t \mid s_{\lt t}; \theta)
+$$
+
+Keys: `input_ids`, `target_ids`, `loss_mask`. Optional: `label_smoothing`.
+
+### DPO (Direct Preference Optimization)
+
+Frozen reference model, preference margin via log-ratio:
+
+$$
+L_{\text{DPO}} = -\mathbb{E}\left[\log\sigma\left(\beta\log\frac{\pi_\theta(y_w\mid x)}{\pi_{\text{ref}}(y_w\mid x)} - \beta\log\frac{\pi_\theta(y_l\mid x)}{\pi_{\text{ref}}(y_l\mid x)}\right)\right]
+$$
+
+Parameters: `beta=0.1`, `reduction="mean"`. Keys: `chosen`, `rejected`, `chosen_mask`, `rejected_mask`.
+
+### GRPO (Group Relative Policy Optimization)
+
+On-policy PPO with group-normalized advantages:
+
+$$
+\text{Advantage}_i = \frac{r_i - \mu}{\sigma + \epsilon}
+$$
+
+$$
+L_{\text{GRPO}} = -\mathbb{E}\left[\min\left(\frac{\pi_\theta}{\pi_{\text{ref}}}A,\; \text{clip}\left(\frac{\pi_\theta}{\pi_{\text{ref}}}, 1-\epsilon, 1+\epsilon\right)A\right)\right] + \lambda \cdot \mathbb{E}\left[(\log\pi_\theta - \log\pi_{\text{ref}})^2\right]
+$$
+
+Parameters: `group_size=4`, `clip_eps=0.2`, `kl_coef=0.01`, `sync_interval=200`, `reduction="mean"`.
+
+Keys: `prompts`, `responses`, `masks`, `rewards`.
+
+## LR Schedulers
+
+| Type | Class | Description |
+|------|-------|-------------|
+| Cosine | `CosineScheduler` | Linear warmup → cosine decay to `min_rate` |
+| SGDR | `SGDRScheduler` | Cosine annealing with warm restarts (`t_mult=2`) |
+
+Created by `SchedulerFactory.create(optimizer, schedule_type, **kwargs)`. Valid types: `"cosine"`, `"sgdr"`. Omit to use no scheduler.
+
+## Gradient Checkpointing
+
+Trades compute for memory by recomputing activations during backward pass. Specify module types via `gradient_checkpointing_modules`:
+
+```python
+from astrai.model.components.decoder_block import DecoderBlock
+config = TrainConfig(..., gradient_checkpointing_modules=[DecoderBlock])
+```
+
+Callback wraps each `DecoderBlock.forward` with `torch.utils.checkpoint.checkpoint(use_reentrant=False)`, compatible with `torch.compile`. Uses `nn.Module.apply()` for traversal — works through DDP wrappers without manual unwrap. Empty list (default) means no-op.
+
+## Checkpoint
+
+```
+Checkpoint(state_dict, epoch, iteration, extra, meta, config)
+  ├── save(save_dir)    rank-0 only: meta.json (epoch/iteration/timestamp) + config.json (model config) + model.safetensors + optional {key}.pt (optimizer.pt, scheduler.pt)
+  └── load(save_dir, broadcast=False)    loads from local disk; set broadcast=True to broadcast metadata from rank-0
+```
+
+Optimizer/scheduler state persisted by default via `Checkpoint.extra`.  
+Model config (`context.model_config`) saved into `config.json` during training via `CheckpointCallback`.
+
+## TrainContextBuilder (Builder Pattern)
+
+```python
+context = (
+    TrainContextBuilder(config)
+        .with_resume_dir(resume_dir)
+        .build()
+)
+# Returns TrainContext with model, strategy, optimizer, scheduler, dataloader, checkpoint
+```
+
+- Loads checkpoint weights if provided
+- Creates executor via `ExecutorFactory.create(cfg.parallel_mode, grad_accum_steps=cfg.grad_accum_steps, **cfg.executor_kwargs)`
+- Calls `executor.prepare(model, optimizer, dataloader, scheduler)` for model distribution (e.g. DDP) + gradient accumulation wrappers
+- Creates `ResumableDistributedSampler` for shuffle+resume
+- Builds strategy via `StrategyFactory.create(train_type, model, device, **kwargs)`
+
+## Training CLI
+
+```bash
+export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3
+
+nohup python scripts/tools/train.py \
+    --nprocs=4 \
+    --parallel_mode=ddp \
+    --train_type=seq \
