| ## 3. ARCHITECTURE DETAILS |
|
|
| ### 3.1 Model Components |
|
|
| | Component | Class | File | Params | Trainable | |
| |-----------|-------|------|--------|-----------| |
| | Base LLM | `MINDIArchitecture` | `architecture.py` | 7.62B | No (frozen) | |
| | LoRA | via PEFT | `architecture.py` | 161.5M | Yes | |
| | CLIP Vision | `VisionEncoder` | `vision_encoder.py` | 304M | 4.2M (projection only) | |
| | Fusion | `VisionLanguageFusion` | `fusion_layer.py` | 16.8M | Yes | |
| | **Total** | `MINDI15` | `mindi_model.py` | **8.1B** | **182.5M (2.25%)** | |
|
|
| ### 3.2 CRITICAL Architecture Notes |
|
|
| 1. **`MINDIArchitecture` is NOT an `nn.Module`** β it's a plain Python wrapper class. The actual trainable PeftModel is accessed via `self.architecture.get_model()` and registered as `self.llm` in `MINDI15.__init__()`. |
|
|
| 2. **`self.llm = self.architecture.get_model()`** β This line in `mindi_model.py` registers the PeftModel as a proper submodule so `model.parameters()` can find LoRA params. Without this, the optimizer gets zero trainable parameters. |
| |
| 3. **Vision encoder uses `float32` projection** β CLIP backbone is frozen, only `self.projection` (Linear 1024β4096) trains. The projection operates in float32 for stability even though the rest is bf16. |
|
|
| 4. **Fusion layer has `text_gate`** β A learnable scalar parameter (init=0) that creates a residual path for text-only inputs. This ensures gradients flow to the fusion layer during Phase 2 even when processing text-only batches (which have no vision tokens and would otherwise be pure passthrough with no gradient). |
| |
| ### 3.3 Forward Pass Flow |
| |
| ``` |
| Image β CLIP (frozen) β 256 patches (1024) β projection (4096) β visual_tokens |
| Text β tokenizer β input_ids β LLM embedding layer β text_embeds |
| |
| With image: fusion = [gated_visual_tokens; text_embeds] (prepend) |
| Without image: fusion = text_embeds + sigmoid(text_gate) * (transformed - text_embeds) |
| |
| fusion β LLM layers (with LoRA) β logits β loss (cross-entropy, labels=-100 for padding) |
| ``` |
| |
| ### 3.4 LoRA Configuration |
| |
| ```python |
| LoraConfig( |
| r=64, |
| lora_alpha=128, |
| lora_dropout=0.05, |
| target_modules=["q_proj", "k_proj", "v_proj", "o_proj", "gate_proj", "up_proj", "down_proj"], |
| bias="none", |
| task_type=TaskType.CAUSAL_LM, |
| ) |
| ``` |
| |
| ### 3.5 MINDI Special Tokens (22 total, 11 pairs) |
| |
| ``` |
| <|think_start|> / <|think_end|> β Internal reasoning |
| <|code_start|> / <|code_end|> β Generated code blocks |
| <|file_start|> / <|file_end|> β File references |
| <|critique_start|> / <|critique_end|> β Self-critique |
| <|suggest_start|> / <|suggest_end|> β Suggestions |
| <|search_start|> / <|search_end|> β Search context |
| <|error_start|> / <|error_end|> β Error messages |
| <|fix_start|> / <|fix_end|> β Fix attempts |
| <|vision_start|> / <|vision_end|> β Vision input markers |
| <|sandbox_start|> / <|sandbox_end|> β Sandbox execution |
| <|context_start|> / <|context_end|> β Context block |
| ``` |

| ## 4. TRAINING PIPELINE |
| |
| ### 4.1 Three-Phase Training Strategy |
| |
| | Phase | Name | Steps | LR | Batch | Components | Data | Purpose | |
| |-------|------|-------|-----|-------|-----------|------|---------| |
| | 1 | `phase1_lora` | 5,000 | 2e-4 | 16 | LoRA only | Text-only code | Teach coding patterns | |
| | 2 | `phase2_vision_bridge` | 2,500 | 1e-5 | 8 | Vision+Fusion | WebSight images | Align visual tokens | |
| | 3 | `phase3_all` | 2,500 | 5e-5 | 12 | All trainable | Mixed text+vision | Joint fine-tuning | |
| |
| **Total: 10,000 steps** |
|
|
| ### 4.2 Training Data |
|
|
| **Text data (Phase 1 + Phase 3):** |
| - `data/processed/train.jsonl` β 1,304,486 examples, 4.18 GB |
| - `data/processed/val.jsonl` β 72,471 examples |
| - Sources: CodeAlpaca, CodeFeedback, EvolCode, MagicCoder, StarCoder (5 langs), Synthetic Next.js |
|
|
| **Vision data (Phase 2 + Phase 3):** |
| - `data/websight/train.jsonl` β 50,000 image+code pairs, 114 MB JSONL |
| - `data/websight/val.jsonl` β 2,500 image+code pairs, 5.7 MB JSONL |
| - `data/websight/images/` β 52,500 JPG screenshots in 6 subdirectories (11.6 GB) |
| - Source: HuggingFaceM4/WebSight v0.2 (UI screenshot β HTML/CSS pairs) |
|
|
| **WebSight JSONL format:** |
| ```json |
| { |
| "id": "websight_0000001", |
| "type": "vision_code", |
| "source": "websight_v0.2", |
| "image_path": "data/websight/images/00/ws_0000001.jpg", |
| "messages": [ |
| {"role": "system", "content": "You are MINDI 1.5 Vision-Coder..."}, |
| {"role": "user", "content": "<|vision_start|><|vision_end|>\nGenerate the HTML/CSS code for this UI screenshot."}, |
| {"role": "assistant", "content": "<|think_start|>...<|think_end|>\n<|code_start|>\n...HTML/CSS...\n<|code_end|>"} |
| ], |
| "metadata": {"dataset": "websight", "version": "v0.2"} |
| } |
| ``` |
|
|
| **IMPORTANT:** Images are organized in subdirectories of β€10,000 files each because HuggingFace has a 10K files/directory limit. The JSONL `image_path` fields reference the subdirectory structure (e.g., `data/websight/images/00/ws_0000001.jpg`). |
|
|
| ### 4.3 Data Loading |
|
|
| - **`StreamingJSONLDataset`** (in `mindi_trainer.py`) β Streams from disk line-by-line, tokenizes on-the-fly |
| - **Shuffle buffer** of 10,000 examples (reservoir-style) |
| - **Image loading** via `_load_image()` β loads PIL images from relative paths |
| - **Custom collate function** β stacks tensors, keeps images as a list |
| - **Phase routing** β Phase 1 uses text data, Phase 2 uses WebSight, Phase 3 uses text (with inline images if present) |
|
|
| ### 4.4 Key Training Features |
|
|
| - **bf16 precision** β Required for MI300X stability (NOT fp16) |
| - **Gradient checkpointing** β Enabled even with 192GB VRAM |
| - **torch.compile()** β Optional, works on ROCm |
| - **Cosine LR with warmup** β Per-phase schedules |
| - **Gradient accumulation** β Configurable per phase (default: 4) |
| - **Emergency checkpoint** β Saved on Ctrl+C |
| - **Crash checkpoint** β Saved on unhandled exceptions |
|

|
| ## 5. TRAINING HISTORY & RESULTS |
|
|
| ### 5.1 Phase 1 Dry Run β SUCCESS β
|
|
|
| **Date:** April 15, 2026 (on DigitalOcean MI300X) |
| **Command:** `python3 scripts/train.py --dry_run --no_wandb` |
| **Result:** Loss dropped from 1.94 β 0.85 in 10 steps, completed in 12.1 minutes |
| **VRAM usage:** ~14.3 GB |
|
|
| ### 5.2 Phase 2 β First Attempt FAILED β |
|
|
| **Error:** `element 0 of tensors does not require grad and does not have a grad_fn` |
| **Root cause:** Phase 2 trains vision+fusion with LoRA frozen. Text-only data means fusion is pure passthrough (no gradient path). The fusion layer was getting zero gradients because without vision tokens, the text-only path was `return text_embeds, attention_mask` β a pure passthrough with no learnable operation. |
| **Fix:** Added `text_gate` learnable residual parameter to `VisionLanguageFusion`. Text-only path changed to: `text_embeds + sigmoid(text_gate) * (transformed - text_embeds)`. Also built the WebSight vision data pipeline to provide actual image+code pairs for Phase 2. |
|
|
| ### 5.3 Full 3-Phase Dry Run β NOT YET COMPLETED |
|
|
| The MI300X GPU kept hanging/wedging (see Section 6). Phase 2 and 3 with the new WebSight data pipeline have NOT been tested yet. |
|
|
| --- |
|
|
| ## 6. ERRORS & FIXES β COMPLETE HISTORY |
|
|
| ### 6.1 GPU Hang #1 β HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION |
| |
| **Symptom:** GPU completely unresponsive. `torch.cuda.get_device_name(0)` returns blank, any CUDA operation hangs. |
| **Root cause:** `HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=11.0.0` was set in the Docker container. This conflicts with ROCm 7.0's native MI300X/gfx942 support. |
| **Fix:** Do NOT set `HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION`. ROCm 7.0 natively supports gfx942. Remove it from all scripts/env. |
| **Commit:** `4a33f96 Remove HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION` |
|
|
| ### 6.2 No Trainable Parameters in Optimizer |
|
|
| **Symptom:** `RuntimeError: No trainable parameters in phase 'phase1_lora'` |
| **Root cause:** `MINDIArchitecture` is a plain Python class (not `nn.Module`). When `MINDI15` calls `model.parameters()`, it doesn't find the LoRA parameters because the PeftModel isn't registered as a submodule. |
| **Fix:** Added `self.llm = self.architecture.get_model()` in `MINDI15.__init__()` to register the PeftModel as a proper nn.Module submodule. Updated `forward()` and `generate()` to use `self.llm` instead of `self.architecture.get_model()`. |
| **Commit:** `cdc806e Fix: register LLM as nn.Module submodule so optimizer finds LoRA params` |
|
|
| ### 6.3 extra_special_tokens Format Error |
|
|
| **Symptom:** `TypeError` when loading tokenizer β transformers 4.55 expects `extra_special_tokens` as a dict, not a list. |
| **Fix:** Changed `data/tokenizer/mindi_tokenizer/tokenizer_config.json`: converted `extra_special_tokens` from list format to `{"token_name": {"content": "..."}}` dict format. |
| **Commit:** `02eef51 Fix extra_special_tokens: list to dict for transformers 4.55` |
|
|
| ### 6.4 Phase 2 Gradient Flow Crash |
|
|
| **Symptom:** `element 0 of tensors does not require grad and does not have a grad_fn` during Phase 2 |
| **Root cause:** Text-only data β no vision tokens β fusion is pure passthrough β no gradient path to fusion parameters. |
| **Fix:** (1) Added `text_gate` learnable residual gate in `VisionLanguageFusion` for text-only gradient flow. (2) Built WebSight vision data pipeline with actual image+code pairs. |
| **Commit:** `4e9835e Fix Phase 2: fusion layer processes text-only via learnable residual gate` |
|
|
| ### 6.5 Git LFS Issues |
|
|
| **Symptom:** `tokenizer.json` files >10MB causing push failures to HuggingFace. |
| **Fix:** Configured `.gitattributes` for LFS tracking. Ran `git lfs migrate import` to rewrite history. Force-pushed to both GitHub and HF. |
| **Commit:** `161c946 Track large tokenizer files with Git LFS` |
|
|
| ### 6.6 HuggingFace Auth for MI300X Clone |
|
|
| **Symptom:** `git clone` from HF failed with auth error in Docker container. |
| **Fix:** Use token as both username and password: `https://hf_TOKEN:hf_TOKEN@huggingface.co/Mindigenous/MINDI-1.5-Vision-Coder.git` |
| Also needed: `apt-get install -y git-lfs && git lfs install` |
|
|
| ### 6.7 GPU Hang #2 β Driver Wedge After Heavy I/O |
|
|
| **Symptom:** After interrupted HF upload + training attempt, GPU shows 100% utilization with 0% VRAM in `rocm-smi`. Even `torch.randn(device='cuda')` hangs. Docker restart insufficient. |
| **Kernel log:** `amdgpu: GPU reset begin!` β `device wedged, but recovered through reset` β But GPU% stays at 100%. |
| **Fix:** |
| 1. `docker stop rocm` |
| 2. `echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:83:00.0/reset` (PCI address from `lspci | grep AMD`) |
| 3. If GPU% still 100%: `modprobe -r amdgpu && modprobe amdgpu` |
| 4. Verify `rocm-smi` shows GPU% = 0% before restarting Docker |
| **Status:** Droplet was deleted. Will need to handle this on fresh droplet if it recurs. |
|
|
| ### 6.8 HuggingFace Upload Limits |
|
|
| **Symptom:** `413 Payload Too Large` (25K files/commit) and `400 Bad Request` (10K files/directory) |
| **Fix:** Reorganized 52,500 images into 6 subdirectories of β€10K files (`00/` through `05/`). Upload in separate commits per subdirectory. Updated JSONL `image_path` fields to include subdirectory. |
| **Script:** `scripts/upload_websight_images.py` |
|

| |
| --- |
| |
| ## 11. WHAT REMAINS (TODO) β |
| |
| 1. **Complete WebSight upload to HF** β Subdirs 04 and 05 still uploading (re-run `scripts/upload_websight_images.py` if interrupted) |
| 2. **Full 3-phase dry run** β Phase 2 (WebSight) and Phase 3 (mixed) NOT yet tested with the vision pipeline |
| 3. **Full production training** β 10,000 steps total (Phase 1: 5K, Phase 2: 2.5K, Phase 3: 2.5K) |
| 4. **Inference testing** β Generate code from screenshots after training |
| 5. **Commit `upload_websight_images.py` and `context.md`** β These new files need to be pushed |
| |

| |
| ## 12. KNOWN ISSUES & GOTCHAS |
| |
| ### DO NOT: |
| - Set `HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=11.0.0` β kills GPU on ROCm 7.0 |
| - Use `fp16` on MI300X β use `bf16` for stability |
| - Try to upload >10K files to a single HF directory β split into subdirs |
| - Try to commit >25K files in a single HF commit β batch commits |
| - Use the global Python (base env) on Windows β use venv (global torch DLL is broken) |
|
|
| ### WATCH OUT FOR: |
| - GPU hanging after heavy I/O β check `rocm-smi` shows 0% GPU before training |
| - Data paths β WebSight images use **relative paths** from project root in JSONL |
| - `MINDIArchitecture` is NOT `nn.Module` β always use `self.llm` inside MINDI15 |
| - The `text_gate` in fusion starts at 0 (sigmoid=0.5) β this is intentional |
| - On MI300X, Docker container named `rocm` β always `docker exec -it rocm /bin/bash` |

| ## 13. COMMANDS REFERENCE |
|
|
| ### Local (Windows, PowerShell, in venv): |
| ```powershell |
| # Activate venv |
| & ".\venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1" |
| |
| # Download WebSight |
| $env:HF_TOKEN="<your-hf-token>" |
| python scripts/download_websight.py --num_train 50000 --num_val 2500 |
| |
| # Upload WebSight images to HF (handles subdirs, retry, skip) |
| python scripts/upload_websight_images.py |
| |
| # Push code to GitHub + HF |
| git push origin master |
| git push hf master:main |
| ``` |
|
|
| ### MI300X (Linux, Docker, inside container): |
| ```bash |
| # Dry run (10 steps per phase) |
| python3 scripts/train.py --dry_run --no_wandb |
| |
| # Full training |
| python3 scripts/train.py --no_wandb |
| |
| # Single phase |
| python3 scripts/train.py --phase 1 --no_wandb |
| python3 scripts/train.py --phase 2 --no_wandb |
| python3 scripts/train.py --phase 3 --no_wandb |
| |
| # Resume from checkpoint |
| python3 scripts/train.py --resume checkpoints/training/phase1_lora_step5000 --no_wandb |
| |
| # GPU diagnostic |
| python3 scripts/gpu_diagnostic.py |
| ``` |

|
| ## 14. NEXT SESSION CHECKLIST |
|
|
| When continuing with a new AI assistant: |
|
|
| 1. **Open this directory** in your IDE |
| 2. **Read this file first** to get full context |
| 3. **Check WebSight upload status:** |
| ```powershell |
| python -c "import os; from huggingface_hub import HfApi; api=HfApi(token=os.environ['HF_TOKEN']); files=[f for f in api.list_repo_files('Mindigenous/MINDI-1.5-training-data', repo_type='dataset') if 'websight/images' in f]; print(f'{len(files)} images in HF repo')" |
| ``` |
| 4. If <52,500: re-run `python scripts/upload_websight_images.py` |
| 5. **Push any uncommitted files:** |
| ```bash |
| git add scripts/upload_websight_images.py context.md |
| git commit -m "Add WebSight batch uploader and project context" |
| git push origin master |
| git push hf master:main |
| ``` |
| 6. **Spin up fresh MI300X droplet** on DigitalOcean |
| 7. **Follow Section 7.3** for setup procedure |
| 8. **Run dry run first** to verify all 3 phases work |
| 9. **Then full training** β `python3 scripts/train.py --no_wandb` |
|

|
| ## 15. DATA FILE LOCATIONS ON HF DATASET REPO |
|
|
| When cloning data on MI300X using `snapshot_download`, files will land at: |
|
|
| | HF Repo Path | Local Path (relative to project root) | |
| |---|---| |
| | `processed/train.jsonl` | `data/processed/train.jsonl` | |
| | `processed/val.jsonl` | `data/processed/val.jsonl` | |
| | `websight/train.jsonl` | `data/websight/train.jsonl` | |
| | `websight/val.jsonl` | `data/websight/val.jsonl` | |
| | `websight/images/00/*.jpg` | `data/websight/images/00/*.jpg` | |
| | `tokenizer/mindi_tokenizer/*` | `data/tokenizer/mindi_tokenizer/*` | |
|
|
| The `snapshot_download(local_dir='data')` call places everything correctly because the HF repo structure mirrors the local `data/` directory. |
