-# Fathom — Cybersecurity Expert LLM
-**Fathom** is a mixture-of-experts malware analysis system fine-tuned from [Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1](https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1) with 10 domain-specific LoRA adapters. Given a structured CAPEv2 sandbox evidence brief, Fathom produces a complete malware analysis: family identification, MITRE ATT&CK technique mapping with evidence-based reasoning, risk rating, and response recommendations.
-> **Project:** Fathom — Final Year Project, Muhammad Haseeb (i221698)
-> **Inference format:** `[INST] {prompt} [/INST]`  ⚠ Alpaca `### Instruction/Response` format is **wrong** for this model — see [Critical Notes](#critical-notes).

 ```
----
-## Critical Notes
-**1. Prompt format is non-negotiable.**
-Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct was trained on `[INST]...[/INST]` chat tokens. Using Alpaca-style `### Instruction:\n...\n### Response:` causes the model to echo the instruction back rather than generate analysis, exhausting the token budget before any output is produced. Always use:
-```
-[INST] {your instruction and evidence} [/INST]
-```
-**2. Evidence quality drives T-code quality.**
-Raw API call lists (e.g. `LdrpCallInitRoutine, NtWaitForSingleObject`) give the model no behavioral signal — these are loader internals, not malware actions. Use a structured extractor that groups APIs into semantic behaviors and annotates them with ATT&CK hints. The `cape_extraction_layer_v3.py` pipeline (companion repo) does this automatically.
-**3. Token budget.**
-Use `max_new_tokens=1024` at minimum. A full malware analysis with 5 techniques, evidence reasoning, and response steps requires 600–900 tokens. Shorter budgets produce truncated reports.
-**4. Greedy decode for consistency.**
-`do_sample=False` with `repetition_penalty=1.15` gives deterministic T-code output. Sampling introduces hallucinated technique IDs across runs.
-**5. Context window and long reports.**
-For DLL samples with very large API call logs, truncate the evidence text *before* building the prompt — never rely on tokenizer truncation, which may silently remove the `[/INST]` close token and cause context-continuation instead of analysis.

+## How to Use
+### Loading the unified model (recommended for most users)
 ```python
 from peft import PeftModel
+from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
 import torch
+model_name = "mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1"
+adapter = "umer07/fathom-mixtral"   # unified-v2 at root
+tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
 model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
+    model_name,
+    torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16,
+    device_map="auto",
+    trust_remote_code=True
 )
+model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(model, adapter, adapter_name="unified-v2")
 model.eval()
 ```
+---
+## Limitations
+- Sub-technique precision (e.g., T1055.012 vs T1055) is lower than parent techniques.
+- Family identification improves dramatically with KSPN enrichment.
+- Rare techniques (UAC bypass T1548.002, exotic C2 T1095) have near-zero recall.
+- Only 3 high-severity real CAPE samples evaluated (small but realistic test set).
 ---
+## Training & Datasets
+- **Unified-v2:** 123,912 rows (1 epoch)
+- **Experts:** 9 specialized datasets (total > 200k rows after augmentation)
+- **Evasive dataset (NEW):** 25,160 obfuscated C++ samples (92 evasion combinations)
+- **ThreatIntel upgrade:** 9,532 rows (URLhaus + GTFOBins + MITRE CTI)
