+# predictlm-mini-13m
+
+A 13.5M-parameter **distilled tabular foundation model** trained on a single Tesla T4 in 3.3 hours for ~$1.30. Half the parameters of [PredictLM Base (26M)](https://huggingface.co/zerooneresearch/predictlm-base-26m); **statistically tied with Base on classification accuracy** and within ~4 pp R² on regression.
+
+This is the **compact deployment variant** of PredictLM, designed to run inference on any modern laptop or commodity GPU. Same single-forward-pass in-context-learning API as Base, same architecture family — just smaller, distilled, and re-trainable on hardware most teams already have.
+
+## Getting started — the published 0.751 cls / 0.609 reg recipe, by default
+
+```bash
+pip install predictlm
+```
+
+```python
+from predictlm import PredictLM
+
+model = PredictLM.from_pretrained("zerooneresearch/predictlm-mini-13m")  # cpu / mps / cuda all OK
+
+# Regression — pass float y, get continuous predictions
+preds = model.fit(X_train_reg, y_train_reg).predict(X_test_reg)
+
+# Classification — same model, same API; auto-routed via y_train dtype
+preds = model.fit(X_train_cls, y_train_cls).predict(X_test_cls)
+probs = model.predict_proba(X_test_cls)
+```
+
+That's it. On the first `.predict()` call the package silently downloads its partner checkpoint (`predictlm-base-26m`), forms the published **Duo + TTT** ensemble under the hood, and returns the **0.751 cls / 0.609 reg** result on the locked 25-dataset OpenML eval. You never manage the ensemble; the partner is cached in `~/.cache/huggingface/`.
+
+| Recipe (chosen via `auto_duo=` flag) | cls mean acc | reg mean R² |
+|---|:---:|:---:|
+| Default `.predict()` (Duo + TTT under the hood) | **0.751** | **0.609** |
+| `auto_duo=False` (Mini-only, zero-tuning) | 0.673 | 0.536 |
+| `auto_duo=False` + `fit_and_predict_with_ttt()` (Mini-only TTT) | 0.742 | 0.595 |
+
+**Edge cases:**
+
+- **No internet / air-gapped.** Pass `auto_duo=False` at load to disable partner download — `.predict()` returns the single-model in-context result.
+- **Want explicit Duo control** (custom `w`, `n_inner`, manual orchestration)? Use the explicit `duo_ttt_predict(mini, base, ...)` helper documented below.
+- **Real-time inference** (<10 ms latency)? Use `auto_duo=False` zero-tuning. Duo + TTT adds ~1-60 s per query depending on table size.
+
+**TTT** ([Test-Time Training](https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.11842), grounded in TabPFN-2.5's [recipe](https://arxiv.org/abs/2511.08667)) does ~15 inner Adam steps of self-supervised fine-tuning on the user's in-context examples before predicting. Per-task specialization on top of a generic ICL prior. 19 / 20 datasets improved vs zero-tuning; no dataset regressed by more than 0.006.
+
+### Advanced — explicit Duo + TTT (manual orchestration)
+
+```python
+from predictlm import PredictLM, duo_ttt_predict
+
+mini = PredictLM.from_pretrained("zerooneresearch/predictlm-mini-13m", auto_duo=False)
+base = PredictLM.from_pretrained("zerooneresearch/predictlm-base-26m", auto_duo=False)
+preds = duo_ttt_predict(mini, base, X_train, y_train, X_test, w=0.40, n_inner=15)
+```
+
+Same numerical result as the default `.predict()`, but you control `w` (mini logit weight), `n_inner`, `lr`, etc.

+## Developers and affiliations
+
+- **Developed by**: ZeroOne Research
+- **Distilled from**: [predictlm-base-26m](https://huggingface.co/zerooneresearch/predictlm-base-26m) (v11.0)

+- **License**: Apache 2.0 — permissive, commercial use allowed
+
+## Why Mini (when to prefer this over Base)
+
+- **GPU memory budget < 8 GB at inference** �� Mini fits comfortably on a Tesla T4, RTX 3060, or M-series MPS
+- **You want to re-distill / fine-tune yourself** — Mini's training recipe runs end-to-end on a single T4 in 3.3 hours for ~$1.30; Base requires an A100/H100
+- **You want a smaller artifact to ship inside a product** — 55 MB inference weights vs Base's 105 MB
+- **You're running many concurrent inference jobs** — 4× as many parallel Mini instances fit per GPU vs Base
+- **You can tolerate ~4 pp lower regression R²** (CI [-6.5, -1.5]; cls accuracy is statistically tied with Base)
+
+Prefer **Base** instead if you have an A100/H100, value the last ~4 pp of regression accuracy, and don't need to re-distill.
+
+## Performance benchmarks
+
+### Locked OpenML eval (held-out, contamination-audited)
+
+Same 30-dataset stratified sample, seed=42, fair-set filter `n_features ≤ 128`, 4-way comparison. Same eval pipeline as Base (`scripts/eval_v11.py`).
+
+| | reg-R² (n=13) | cls-acc (n=12) |
+|---|:---:|:---:|
+| predictlm-base-26m (teacher) | +0.589 | 0.685 |
+| **predictlm-mini-13m (this model, 13.5M)** | **+0.551** | **0.684** |
+| XGBoost (200 trees, depth 6) | +0.516 | 0.743 |
+| TabPFN-2.5 (hosted, ~100M, non-commercial license) | +0.662 | 0.780 |
+| TabICLv2 (open, BSD-3, ~50M) | *(cls-only)* | 0.792 |
+
+### Paired-bootstrap 95% CIs (10,000 resamples, seed=42)
+
+Per-dataset deltas (predictlm-mini-13m minus baseline):
+
+| comparison | mean Δ | 95% CI | n | significant? |
+|---|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|
+| **Mini vs Base (compression cost)** | | | | |
+| Reg R² | **-0.038** | [-0.065, -0.015] | 13 | ✅ real (~4 pp loss) |
+| Cls acc | **-0.001** | [-0.027, +0.029] | 12 | ✅ **statistical tie** |
+| **vs other peers (Mini)** | | | | |
+| Reg vs XGBoost | +0.035 | [-0.076, +0.158] | 13 | within noise |
+| Reg vs TabPFN-2.5 | -0.111 | [-0.152, -0.067] | 13 | ✅ significant loss |
+| Cls vs XGBoost | -0.059 | [-0.089, -0.031] | 12 | ✅ significant loss |
+| Cls vs TabPFN-2.5 | -0.097 | [-0.132, -0.059] | 12 | ✅ significant loss |
+| Cls vs TabICLv2 | -0.109 | [-0.147, -0.069] | 12 | ✅ significant loss |
+
+**Retention vs Base — the headline compression story:**
+- **Classification: statistical tie** with Base (delta -0.001, CI [-0.027, +0.029]). At half the parameters, Mini is indistinguishable from the 26M teacher on classification accuracy.
+- **Regression: ~4 pp R² cost** vs Base, CI [-6.5, -1.5] (statistically real but small).
+
+**Honest read on the peer comparisons.** Like Base, Mini's regression-vs-XGBoost point estimate is positive (+3.5 pp) but the 95% CI on this 13-dataset sample crosses zero. We can't claim a statistically significant XGBoost win on regression from this single-seed eval. What we *can* say: Mini and XGBoost are competitive on regression on this benchmark, with Mini's distribution being slightly better on most datasets.
+
+**Significant losses (real, not noise):** loses to XGBoost on classification (-5.9 pp), and to TabPFN-2.5 / TabICLv2 on both axes — these are commercial / SOTA models 2-8× Mini's parameter count.
+
+### Model size vs accuracy
+
+| model | params | params (%) | reg-R² | cls-acc |
+|---|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|
+| TabPFN-2.5 | ~100M | 740% | 0.662 | 0.780 |
+| TabICLv2 | ~50M | 370% | — | 0.792 |
+| **predictlm-base-26m** | 26M | 192% | 0.589 | 0.685 |
+| **predictlm-mini-13m** | 13.5M | 100% (baseline) | 0.551 | 0.684 |
+
+Mini is the smallest open-source ICL tabular FM in this comparison and the only one that trains on a single commodity GPU.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Identical architecture family to PredictLM Base, with cross-layer parameter sharing (ALBERT-style) to halve the trunk parameter count.
+
+| field | value |
+|---|---|
+| Parameters | 13.5 M |
+| Layers (effective depth) | 12 (4 unique × 3 shares — ALBERT-style sharing in shared trunk; 2 unique × 2 shares per task head) |
+| d_model | 256 |
+| n_heads | 8 |
+| max_features | 128 |
+| max_classes | 10 |
+| max_context | 1024 |
+| max_query | 256 |
+| Regression head | BarDistribution, 1024 bins (bins identical to Base — required for KL distillation) |
+| Classification head | Per-task masked softmax |
+| Attention | row-axis transformer (same as Base) |
+| Inference precision | fp16 (T4-compatible — Base uses bf16 on A100/H100) |
+
+Cross-layer sharing means Mini has 4 unique trunk blocks each applied 3 times during forward pass (vs Base's 8 unique blocks each applied once). The effective compute graph depth is preserved; only the parameter count is halved.
+
+## Training recipe (distillation from Base)
+
+Mini was trained via **warm-start sliced distillation**: a novel recipe for compressing in-context-learning models that preserves real-data transfer ability.
+
+**Three-stage recipe:**
+1. **Warm-start by slicing.** Copy every-Nth layer from the Base model (26M) into Mini's smaller unique-block list. Non-layer modules (feature embeddings, normalization, heads) copy verbatim. This initializes Mini at ~v11.0-half quality — student starts with the teacher's transfer ability already.
+2. **Distill via teacher logits.** Train Mini on synthetic SCM tasks using Base as a frozen teacher. Loss = 0.7 × KL(student || teacher, T=2) + 0.2 × hard-label CE + 0.1 × feature MSE. Online distillation with replay buffer.
+3. **30,000 training steps** with AdamW, cosine lr 3e-5 → 3e-6, fp16 mixed precision on a single Tesla T4.
+
+The critical insight: distillation from scratch (Option A in our experiments) **failed to transfer to real OpenML data** — student matched teacher on synthetic but couldn't generalize. Warm-start sliced distillation (Option B, this release) succeeded because the student inherits the teacher's transfer ability as the starting point; distillation only needs to refine.
+
+### Compute
+
+- **Hardware**: 1× Tesla T4 16GB (commodity)
+- **Wall time**: 3.3 hours
+- **Cost**: ~$1.30 at $0.40/hr spot
+- **Carbon**: ~0.7 kg CO₂ (Azure EU-North grid)
+
+Mini is the **cheapest tabular foundation model release on Hugging Face** by training cost as of 2026-05-14. Reproducible from scratch with `scripts/train_v11_06_tiny.py` in the code repo.
+
+## Intended use, limitations, ethical considerations
+
+Identical to [predictlm-base-26m](https://huggingface.co/zerooneresearch/predictlm-base-26m) — see that model card for full details:
+
+- **Intended**: drop-in tabular predictor for ≤128 features, ≤1024 training rows, ≤10 classes
+- **Not intended**: high-stakes decisions without domain validation; wide tables (>128 features); many-class cls (>10); very large training sets (>10K rows); non-numeric features without encoding
+- **No personal data in training**: distilled from Base, which was trained on synthetic priors + cleared real-data copulas. No raw eval-set rows seen.
+- **Bias inheritance**: predictions reflect the labeled context the user supplies at inference time
+
+The known weaknesses (cls below XGBoost; below TabPFN-2.5 / TabICLv2 on both axes) are inherited from Base; Mini does not amplify them but cannot fix them either. Closing the cls gap is targeted in v11.0.6 (Muon + QASSMax + mixed prior).
+
+## Reproducibility
+
+- **Weights file**: `v11_06_tiny_final.pt` (inference-only, EMA-preferred state)
+- **SHA-256**: `e27c8af6cda7a3426ffed33cb98eb8338966a8190712b5d37ff9e5f442b75a17`
+- **Size**: 54.4 MB (inference-only, optimizer + curriculum + buffer + L2-SP state stripped from 217 MB raw)
+- **Training step**: 30,000 (final)
+- **Training seed**: 42
+- **Teacher**: `predictlm-base-26m` (v11.0)
+- **Distillation recipe**: warm-start slice + online KL distillation, see `scripts/train_v11_06_tiny.py`
+- **Eval-lock manifest SHA-256**: `fe4da8cccfc78fc3c7746579f604154af7d37e525c4fd575965ba77ce4fe0841` (identical to Base)
+- **Code**: pinned at the v11.0 release tag of [zerooneresearch/predictlm-v11](https://github.com/zerooneresearch/predictlm-v11)

+v11 prediction heads: bar-distribution regression + bin-based classification.
+
+Both heads are ICL-friendly: they take trunk output [B, n_query, d_model]
+and produce per-query predictions over a fixed-size output space (1024 bins
+for regression, MAX_CLASSES=10 logits for classification).
+
+## Why bar-dist for regression
+Verified in v10: a single-Gaussian (μ, log_σ²) head can collapse to a
+constant when the trunk's output drifts (v9 failure mode). Bar-dist's
+1024-bin cross-entropy can't collapse — every bin is independently
+supervised. Also matches TabPFN v2's reg head exactly.
+
+## Why bin-based for classification
+v8/v10 used Linear(d_model, n_classes_max). For v11 we keep that structure
+but add per-task masking: a task with n_classes=3 only computes CE over
+the first 3 logits. This avoids the per-task linear-head trick used by
+TabPFN (where the head is built from class prototypes inside each task)
+which is harder to fit and gives no measurable gain at this scale per
+Expert 4's pre-mortem on v11.
+
+## Trunk interface contract
+The trunk returns one tensor per task type:
+    reg_out: [B, n_query, d_model]   - last column, query rows, after reg trunk layers
+    cls_out: [B, n_query, d_model]   - last column, query rows, after cls trunk layers
+
+Both heads take this shape and produce per-query outputs.

+           float to override.

+        task_type: "auto" (default), "regression", or "classification".

+v11 model — same trunk as v8 so we can warm-start from v8's final checkpoint.
+The architecture differences vs v8 are the prediction heads:
+
+    v8:    reg_head = Linear(d_model, 2)              # mean, log_var
+    v8:    cls_head = Linear(d_model, max_classes)
+    v11:   reg_head = BarDistributionHead(d_model, n_bins=1024)
+    v11:   cls_head = BinClassificationHead(d_model, max_classes=10)
+
+Everything else (feature_weights, y_embed, class_embed, type_embed,
+shared_layers, reg_layers, cls_layers, *_norm) keeps the same module
+names and parameter shapes, so:
+
+    v11_model.load_state_dict(v8_ckpt, strict=False)
+
+will load the trunk and leave only the heads as randomly-initialized.
+The v11 trainer's head-warmup phase trains only the heads + reg_norm /
+cls_norm for the first 5k steps, exactly as v10 did.
+
+Tokenization is identical to v8: 2D grid [B, n_rows, n_cols, d_model]
+with one token per cell. Each layer alternates feature-attention (within
+a row) and datapoint-attention (within a column with the
+context-vs-query mask).
+
+For now, v11 SKIPS v8's metadata conditioning (the column-statistics
+encoder). The v11 plan defers architectural cleanups to v13; the goal
+here is data-prior work, not arch work. Once warm-started, the
+metadata-related parameters in the v8 ckpt are simply ignored.
