## 📝 Change Log

### 2025-11-25 05:40 UTC - Initial Setup
- ✅ Created folder structure
- ✅ Created this progress tracking document
- ⏳ Starting Step 1: Download CodeLlama model

### 2025-11-25 05:54 UTC - Dataset & Scripts Updated
- ✅ **Step 2 COMPLETE:** Created CodeLlama-formatted dataset
  - Source: `elinnos_fifo_mistral_100samples_converted.jsonl`
  - Output: `codellama-migration/datasets/processed/elinnos_fifo_codellama_v1.jsonl`
  - Format: Removed system prompt, added ```verilog markers
  - Samples: 94 reformatted successfully (100.5 KB)
- ✅ **Step 3 COMPLETE:** Updated inference script
  - Added `extract_code_from_response()` function (lines 24-58)
  - Changed default temperature: 0.7 → 0.3 (line 142)
  - Added code extraction to streaming path (line 193)
  - Added code extraction to non-streaming path (line 219)
  - File: `codellama-migration/scripts/inference/inference_codellama.py`
- ✅ Created symlinks for training scripts (no changes needed)
- ⏳ Step 1 in progress: CodeLlama download (PID: 29047)

### 2025-11-25 05:55 UTC - Download Started
- ✅ CodeLlama-7B-Instruct download initiated
- 📝 Download log: `codellama-migration/download_log.txt`
- ⏳ Estimated completion: 10-15 minutes

### 2025-11-25 06:00 UTC - Dataset Updated with System Prompt
- ✅ **CRITICAL UPDATE:** Dataset reformatted to KEEP system prompt
- **Why:** System prompt ensures domain-specific behavior and prevents generic responses
- **Change:** 
  - ✅ System prompt content PRESERVED: "You are Elinnos RTL Code Generator..."
  - ❌ "System:" and "User:" LABELS removed (these triggered conversational mode)
  - ✅ Format: Clean instructional text + task → code
- **Result:** Best of both worlds - domain specificity + no conversation triggers
- **File Size:** 125.6 KB (increased from 100.5 KB due to system prompt)
- **Sample Format:**
  ```
  Instruction: "You are Elinnos... [system prompt]\n\nGenerate a FIFO..."
  Response: "```verilog\nmodule...```"
  ```

### 2025-11-25 06:03 UTC - CodeLlama Model Download Complete ✅
- ✅ **Step 1 COMPLETE:** CodeLlama-7B-Instruct successfully downloaded
- **Location:** `codellama-migration/models/base-models/CodeLlama-7B-Instruct/`
- **Size:** 26GB (52 files)
- **Key Files:**
  - ✅ config.json
  - ✅ tokenizer.json, tokenizer_config.json, tokenizer.model
  - ✅ model-00001-of-00002.safetensors (9.3GB)
  - ✅ model-00002-of-00002.safetensors (3.3GB)

### 2025-11-25 06:14 UTC - Dataset Splitting & Validation Scripts Created
- ✅ **Created:** Dataset splitting script (`scripts/dataset_split.py`)
- ✅ **Created:** Dataset validation script (`scripts/validate_dataset.py`)
- ✅ **Created:** Comprehensive guide (`DATASET_SPLIT_VALIDATION_GUIDE.md`)
- **Details:**
  - Splitting happens BEFORE training (manual split recommended)
  - Script handles 75/10/15 split (train/val/test)
  - Validation checks: format, content, quality, duplicates
  - All CodeLlama-specific parameters documented

### 2025-11-25 06:15 UTC - Hyperparameter Analysis Complete
- ✅ **Created:** Complete hyperparameter analysis (`HYPERPARAMETER_ANALYSIS.md`)
- **Dataset Analysis:**
  - 94 samples, avg ~322 tokens per sample
  - All samples have code markers (100%)
  - Small dataset → needs regularization
- **Optimized Parameters:**
  - LoRA Rank: 48 (balance for code patterns + small dataset)
  - Learning Rate: 2e-5 (stability)
  - Epochs: 5 (more training needed)
  - Max Length: 1536 (efficiency, sufficient for dataset)
  - Dropout: 0.15 (more regularization)
- **Efficiency:**
  - Memory: ~6-7GB (fits easily in A100)
  - Training Time: ~8-10 minutes
  - Expected improvement: 75-85% match score

  - Incremental fine-tuning (continue from existing adapter)
  - Fresh training option
  - Uses pre-split train/val datasets
- ✅ **Created:** Training guide (`TRAINING_GUIDE.md`)
- ✅ **Dataset Split:** 75/10/15 (train/val/test) - 70/9/15 samples
- ✅ **Training Started:** CodeLlama fine-tuning with optimized hyperparameters
