"""`ycode-lm autotrain`: grow, train, tune, evaluate and publish a model across sessions. Designed for free GPU notebooks (Kaggle, Colab) whose sessions end after a few hours. Every run picks up where the last one stopped: 1. Download the latest checkpoint and progress from the (private) checkpoint repository. 2. Prepare the data (deterministic, so every session gets the same dataset). 3. Phase ``pretrain``: grow the base model to the target preset, then continued pretraining. 4. Phase ``sft``: instruction tuning. 5. Phase ``release``: evaluate, export bf16 shards, write a model card, upload the model. Training runs in segments; after each one the checkpoint and progress are uploaded, so at most one segment of work is lost when a session ends. A new segment only starts if it fits in the remaining session time.

It was **grown** from YCode-LM v4 (100M parameters) to the `{plan.preset}` architecture. Growth keeps the smaller model's function exactly at the start: new channels, attention heads and MLP units begin with zeroed outputs and learn during training. Then it went through continued pretraining ({plan.pretrain_steps} steps with Muon{", sharded across GPUs" if plan.shard else ""}) and instruction tuning ({plan.sft_steps} steps) on GPU notebooks, using `ycode-lm autotrain`. ## Evaluation Measured with `ycode-lm eval`: bits per byte on Python packages excluded from training, plus coding problems and bug fixes that are executed against unit tests. | Metric | Value | | --- | --- | {rows} This is a small research model. It writes well-formed Python and can fix simple bugs, but its code is often wrong, so verify everything it produces. ## Use ```bash git clone https://github.com/yazhiniyanMS/Code-agent && cd Code-agent pip install -e ".[local]" huggingface_hub huggingface-cli download --local-dir models/ycode-lm-v5 ycode --local models/ycode-lm-v5 # or: ycode-lm chat --model models/ycode-lm-v5 ``` The weights are bfloat16, split into shards of at most {plan.release_shard_mb:g} MB; `model.pt` holds the config, the tokenizer and the shard index.
