+# d3-lite — experimental Apple Core AI conversion
+
+Community conversion of [vllm-sr/d3-lite](https://huggingface.co/vllm-sr/d3-lite) at revision `a8d25a91ef75552803f7009d25b7bd435991abd9`. Converted by Max Farrell. This is an Apple **Core AI `.aimodel`** bundle for macOS 27, with its text backbone, original 255-way answer readout, and vision encoder. Choice, yes/no (noul), and score questions run through Core AI; tokenization, media decoding, and result formatting run on the host. No text is generated.
+
+**Experimental, with measured numerical drift.** All 10 smoke cases selected the same answer as the official BF16 PyTorch runtime on identical resized inputs. The largest absolute probability difference was **0.053441**. These are small conversion smoke tests, not a quality benchmark, calibration result, or evidence of equivalence on arbitrary inputs. Fixed-capacity padding and Core AI's BF16 execution can change probabilities and may change decisions on other inputs. The initial 0.02 probability-parity target was not met by every model; the full values are reported rather than claimed as strict numerical parity.
+
+## Capacity and changes from upstream
+
+- One question per forward pass; `system_one` processes several questions sequentially.
+- **512 combined tokens**, including visual tokens and all prompt text. Oversized requests raise an error; nothing is truncated.
+- Images and sampled video frames are resized to **224×224**, including aspect-ratio changes. Each image or two-frame video patch group occupies 49 visual tokens. This is much smaller than upstream's default image/video resolution.
+- Multiple images/videos work only when their complete prompt fits. Video decoding retains upstream's 2-fps sampling, at least 4 and at most 32 frames; long sampled clips may exceed the 512-token limit and are rejected.
+- Up to 255 answer codes are retained; the prompt capacity generally limits practical option count well before 255.
+- The original **BF16 backbone weights** and **FP32 decision head** are retained. Linear attention stays causal; full attention remains noncausal as upstream specifies.
+- Default specialization was tested on this Mac. Forced CPU-only specialization crashed inside Apple's compiler during development. **No verified Neural Engine/GPU placement, iPhone compatibility, speedup, or power-efficiency claim.**
+
+## Use
+
+```bash
+hf download maxffarrell/d3-lite-CoreAI --local-dir d3-lite-CoreAI
+cd d3-lite-CoreAI
+python -m venv .venv
+source .venv/bin/activate
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+```python
+import asyncio
+from coreai_d3 import D3CoreAI
+
+async def main():
+    model = await D3CoreAI.load(".")
+    result = await model.system_one(
+        state="The customer was charged twice.",
+        questions={"route": {
+            "type": "choice",
+            "instructions": "Which team should handle this?",
+            "criteria": {"billing": "Payments", "shipping": "Delivery"}
+        }},
+        # images=["receipt.png"],
+        # videos=["clip.mp4"],
+    )
+    print(result)
+
+asyncio.run(main())
+```
+
+All neural inference in this adapter uses `decision.aimodel` and `vision.aimodel`. PyTorch/Transformers are dependencies for conversion and host preprocessing; source PyTorch weights are not included or needed for inference. Core AI may write a local specialization cache on first load. The adapter uses the upstream prompt formatter and typed response shapes.
+
+## Validation
+
+macOS 27.0.1, `coreai-core==1.0.0b3`, default specialization. The BF16 reference uses Transformers 5.17.0 and the pinned upstream checkpoint. Images and video are compared using the same 224×224 input pixels, not against upstream's original full-resolution run. Text includes choice, noul, score, Spanish, 10 options, and a 433-token case. Additional checks cover one image, two images, video, and rejecting oversized text. End-to-end `system_one` is separately smoke-tested without loading source weights.
+
+| Case | Tokens | Options | Selected answer matches | Max probability difference |
+| --- | ---: | ---: | --- | ---: |
+| text / choice | 95 | 3 | Yes | 0.000897 |
+| text / noul | 97 | 2 | Yes | 0.000091 |
+| text / score | 102 | 4 | Yes | 0.003587 |
+| text / choice | 106 | 3 | Yes | 0.000008 |
+| text / choice | 149 | 10 | Yes | 0.002151 |
+| text / choice | 433 | 2 | Yes | 0.000111 |
+| image / choice | 145 | 3 | Yes | 0.000150 |
+| image / noul | 145 | 2 | Yes | 0.053441 |
+| images / noul | 196 | 2 | Yes | 0.040241 |
+| video / choice | 340 | 3 | Yes | 0.011449 |
+
+See `validation.json` for per-case records. Its elapsed times include reference work and are **not inference benchmarks**.
+
+## Reproduce
+
+Download the exact source revision, convert, and reassemble into a fresh output directory:
+
+```bash
+hf download vllm-sr/d3-lite --revision a8d25a91ef75552803f7009d25b7bd435991abd9 --local-dir upstream/d3-lite
+python convert.py --source upstream/d3-lite --output bundles/d3-lite-CoreAI --length 512 --precision bfloat16
+python package.py d3-lite
+python validate_mm.py d3-lite
+```
+
+`coreai-torch==0.4.3` warns that PyTorch 2.14.0 is newer than its validated range; the supplied environment is the version used for these exports and smoke tests. `UPSTREAM_MANIFEST.json` describes original source files; `SHA256SUMS` verifies this converted bundle.
+
+## Attribution and license
+
+Original model: vLLM Semantic Router Team, based on the Qwen model identified in `UPSTREAM_NOTICE`. Original model and this conversion are Apache-2.0; see `LICENSE` and `NOTICE`. The prompt contract and host decision formatting/media loader are included from the pinned upstream source. The upstream runtime contains an Apache-2.0 noncausal attention hook adapted from Perplexity AI and retains its original attribution. This is an independent community conversion, not an official Apple or vLLM release.

+(prompt family, answer codes, attention mode, pooling, temperature, input limit) and the tokenizer.
+``d3_format.py`` next to this file is the prompt and answer-code contract of the model.
+
+Images: a request takes any number of images (PIL images, local paths, http(s) URLs or base64
+``data:image/...`` URLs), shared by all of its questions. They go before the text in the user turn,
+one image placeholder per image in list order, and the checkpoint's own processor (``AutoProcessor``,
+torchvision backend) resizes each to at most 1,638,400 pixels (1.6 MP) and at least 65,536, keeping
+the aspect ratio; each 32 x 32 pixel patch is one input token. The prompt is the text prompt with the
+images in front; a request without images takes exactly the text path. Image inputs need a checkpoint
+with the vision tower (``visual.*`` weights).
+
+Videos: a request also takes any number of videos (local paths, http(s) URLs, base64 ``data:video/...``
+URLs, or frame arrays: a uint8 ``[frames, height, width, 3]`` RGB array or a list of PIL images, read as
+frames sampled at 2 per second), shared by all of its questions and placed after the images. Files are
+decoded with OpenCV (FFmpeg): 2 frames per second, at least 4 and at most 32 frames spread evenly over the
+whole video, each read by the checkpoint's own video processor at up to 200,704 pixels (0.2 MP); every two
+frames are one group of input tokens (one token per 32 x 32 pixels) after a timestamp. All videos of one
+request take at most 16,384 input tokens. A request without videos takes exactly the text or image path.
+
+Numerics: BF16 backbone with SDPA attention, FP32 readout and softmax (unless the checkpoint says
+otherwise). A request's questions run in request order, ``batch_size`` per forward pass, each batch
+left-padded to its longest prompt. ``noncausal_full_attention`` (Qwen3.5 backbones only) lets the
+full-attention layers see the whole prompt while the Gated DeltaNet layers stay causal. The Gated
+DeltaNet kernels are the ones transformers binds at import: flash-linear-attention (and causal-conv1d)
+when installed, its PyTorch reference implementation otherwise. Qwen3-VL backbones have no linear-attention
+layers and run causal attention only.
+
+``permutation_average=True`` (off by default) also scores every choice question with two or more options
+with its options in reversed order, in the same forward passes as the original order, and answers with
+the per-option mean of the two distributions. Noul and score questions are scored once. A pass carrying both
+orders that would exceed ``MERGE_TOKENS`` padded tokens runs the reversed prompts in a pass of their own, so
+peak memory stays that of the original order.

+# {a.name} — experimental Apple Core AI conversion
+
+Community conversion of [{m["source"]}](https://huggingface.co/{m["source"]}) at revision `{m["revision"]}`. Converted by Max Farrell. This is an Apple **Core AI `.aimodel`** bundle for macOS 27, with its text backbone, original 255-way answer readout, and vision encoder. Choice, yes/no (noul), and score questions run through Core AI; tokenization, media decoding, and result formatting run on the host. No text is generated.
+
+**Experimental, with measured numerical drift.** All 10 smoke cases selected the same answer as the official BF16 PyTorch runtime on identical resized inputs. The largest absolute probability difference was **{max_error:.6f}**. These are small conversion smoke tests, not a quality benchmark, calibration result, or evidence of equivalence on arbitrary inputs. Fixed-capacity padding and Core AI's BF16 execution can change probabilities and may change decisions on other inputs. The initial 0.02 probability-parity target was not met by every model; the full values are reported rather than claimed as strict numerical parity.
+
+## Capacity and changes from upstream
+
+- One question per forward pass; `system_one` processes several questions sequentially.
+- **512 combined tokens**, including visual tokens and all prompt text. Oversized requests raise an error; nothing is truncated.
+- Images and sampled video frames are resized to **224×224**, including aspect-ratio changes. Each image or two-frame video patch group occupies 49 visual tokens. This is much smaller than upstream's default image/video resolution.
+- Multiple images/videos work only when their complete prompt fits. Video decoding retains upstream's 2-fps sampling, at least 4 and at most 32 frames; long sampled clips may exceed the 512-token limit and are rejected.
+- Up to 255 answer codes are retained; the prompt capacity generally limits practical option count well before 255.
+- The original **BF16 backbone weights** and **FP32 decision head** are retained. Linear attention stays causal; full attention remains noncausal as upstream specifies.
+- Default specialization was tested on this Mac. Forced CPU-only specialization crashed inside Apple's compiler during development. **No verified Neural Engine/GPU placement, iPhone compatibility, speedup, or power-efficiency claim.**
+
+## Use
+
+```bash
+hf download maxffarrell/{a.name}-CoreAI --local-dir {a.name}-CoreAI
+cd {a.name}-CoreAI
+python -m venv .venv
+source .venv/bin/activate
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+```python
+import asyncio
+from coreai_d3 import D3CoreAI
+
+async def main():
+    model = await D3CoreAI.load(".")
+    result = await model.system_one(
+        state="The customer was charged twice.",
+        questions={{"route": {{
+            "type": "choice",
+            "instructions": "Which team should handle this?",
+            "criteria": {{"billing": "Payments", "shipping": "Delivery"}}
+        }}}},
+        # images=["receipt.png"],
+        # videos=["clip.mp4"],
+    )
+    print(result)
+
+asyncio.run(main())
+```
+
+All neural inference in this adapter uses `decision.aimodel` and `vision.aimodel`. PyTorch/Transformers are dependencies for conversion and host preprocessing; source PyTorch weights are not included or needed for inference. Core AI may write a local specialization cache on first load. The adapter uses the upstream prompt formatter and typed response shapes.
+
+## Validation
+
+macOS 27.0.1, `coreai-core==1.0.0b3`, default specialization. The BF16 reference uses Transformers 5.17.0 and the pinned upstream checkpoint. Images and video are compared using the same 224×224 input pixels, not against upstream's original full-resolution run. Text includes choice, noul, score, Spanish, 10 options, and a 433-token case. Additional checks cover one image, two images, video, and rejecting oversized text. End-to-end `system_one` is separately smoke-tested without loading source weights.
+
+| Case | Tokens | Options | Selected answer matches | Max probability difference |
+| --- | ---: | ---: | --- | ---: |
+{summary}
+
+See `validation.json` for per-case records. Its elapsed times include reference work and are **not inference benchmarks**.
