+
+## Training Data Flow — Detailed Steps
 
 1. **Data Preparation**
-   - Raw text is converted to token ID sequences through AutoTokenizer
+   - Raw text → token IDs via `AutoTokenizer.encode()`
-   - Token ID sequences (possibly with masks, labels, etc.) are saved by groups as `.h5` files
+   - Save as `.h5` files (groups of tensor lists per data key)
-   - Files can contain multiple segments, each segment corresponds to a tensor
 
 2. **Dataset Loading**
-   - `BaseDataset`'s `load` method calls `load_h5`, obtaining `segments` dictionary
+   - `BaseDataset.load()` calls `load_h5()`, builds `MultiSegmentFetcher`
-   - Create `MultiSegmentFetcher` to manage data for multiple keys
+   - Sliding window of `window_size` with `stride` determines sample boundaries
-   - Calculate total sample count, and determine start/end indices for each sample based on window size and stride
 
-3. **Sampling and Batch Loading**
+3. **Sampling & Batching**
-   - `ResumableDistributedSampler` generates index sequence based on current epoch and iteration position
+   - `ResumableDistributedSampler` produces shuffled index sequences
-   - PyTorch `DataLoader` uses sampler to get indices, calls dataset's `__getitem__` to get actual data
+   - `DataLoader` fetches `[batch_size, window_size]` tensors via `__getitem__`
-   - Batch data shape is `[batch_size, window_size]` (or varies according to specific dataset type)
 
-4. **Strategy Forward and Loss Calculation**
+4. **Strategy Forward**
-   - Batch data is passed to strategy (such as `SEQStrategy`)
+   - Strategy receives batch, calls `Transformer.forward()` for logits
-   - Strategy internally calls `Transformer` model, obtaining logits
+   - Computes task-specific loss (cross-entropy, DPO, GRPO)
-   - Calculate cross-entropy loss (or DPO loss, etc.) according to task type
-   - Return loss tensor
 
-5. **Backpropagation and Optimization**
+5. **Backward & Accumulation**
-   - Loss is normalized by dividing by accumulation steps, then `loss.backward()` is executed
+   - `loss = raw_loss / accumulation_steps`
-   - After accumulating `accumulation_steps` batches, optimizer `step()` and `zero_grad()` are executed
+   - `loss.backward()` accumulates gradients
-   - Learning rate scheduler updates learning rate after each step
+   - Every `accumulation_steps` batches: `optimizer.step()` → `zero_grad()`
+   - Every batch: `scheduler.step()` updates learning rate
 
-6. **Checkpoint Saving**
+6. **Checkpoint**
-   - `CheckpointCallback` saves checkpoints at set intervals
+   - `CheckpointCallback` saves `model.state_dict()` + metadata to safetensors at `ckpt_interval` iterations
-   - Checkpoints contain model state dict, current epoch, iteration, and other metadata
+   - Does NOT save optimizer/scheduler state (resume resets those)
-   - Saved in safetensors format, ensuring safety and efficiency
 
-## Inference Data Flow - Detailed Steps
+## Inference Data Flow — Detailed Steps
 
 1. **Model Loading**
-   - Load `Transformer` model from checkpoint via `AutoModel.from_pretrained()`
+   - `AutoModel.from_pretrained(path)` loads weights from safetensors
-   - Set model to evaluation mode (`model.eval()`), enable inference mode (`torch.inference_mode`)
+   - `torch.inference_mode()` wraps generation
 
-2. **Prompt Construction and Encoding**
+2. **Prompt Construction**
-   - User messages (list of dict with role and content) are converted to ChatML format string through `apply_chat_template` method in tokenizer
+   - Messages → `apply_chat_template(messages, tokenize=False)` → prompt string
-   - Tokenizer encodes prompt string to token ID sequence `input_ids`
+   - `tokenizer.encode(prompt)` → token IDs (truncated to `max_prompt_len`)
-   - For batch generation, use `pad_sequence` for padding
 
-3. **Autoregressive Generation Loop**
+3. **Continuous Batching Loop**
-   - Initialize KV cache (optional) and prefix cache
+   - **Cleanup**: Finished tasks → `stream_callback(STOP)`, free KV pages
-   - Loop until generating `max_len` tokens or encountering stop token:
+   - **Refill**: Pop from waiting queue, `PagedCache.alloc_n()` for prompt pages
-     - Input current `input_ids` (or cached new token) to model, obtain `logits`
+   - **Prefill**: Group by prompt length, run full forward with `start_pos=0`
-     - Apply `apply_sampling_strategies` (temperature, top-k, top-p) to `logits`
+   - **Decode**: Pick position group with most tasks, single-token forward:
-     - Sample next token ID from the processed distribution
+     - Model forward → `logits` → `sample()` → next token ID
-     - Append new token to `input_ids`, while updating KV cache
+     - Append to `output_ids`, update `output_tokens`
-     - For streaming generation, yield each token to caller immediately
+     - `_maybe_alloc_page()` grows page table as needed
+     - `stream_callback(token)` for streaming clients
 
-4. **Decoding and Output**
+4. **Output**
-   - Decode generated token ID sequence to text through tokenizer
+   - `tokenizer.decode(output_ids)` → text
-   - Remove special tokens, return plain text response
+   - Return to caller (streaming: token-by-token; non-streaming: complete string)
 
-## Checkpoint and Serialization
+## Checkpoint & Serialization
 
-- **Training Checkpoint**: Saves model parameters, optimizer state, scheduler state, current epoch and iteration
+- **Training Checkpoint**: safetensors weights + epoch/iteration metadata. Optimizer/scheduler state is NOT persisted.
-- **Model Parameters**: Supports safetensors format, automatically handles special logic like weight tying during loading
+- **Inference Loading**: `AutoModel.from_pretrained()` loads from the same safetensors format.
-- **Dataset Serialization**: HDF5 format supports efficient random access and shared memory, suitable for large-scale pre-training data
+- **Dataset Serialization**: HDF5 with shared memory support for large-scale pre-training data.
 
-## Summary
+> Document Update Time: 2026-05-09
-
-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.

-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.
