Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ LanguageModel()

template<DeviceType TDeviceType, TensorDataType TPrecision>

Mila::Dnn::LanguageModel< TDeviceType, TPrecision >::LanguageModel	(	std::unique_ptr< LanguageNetwork< TDeviceType, TPrecision > >	network,
		RuntimeMode	runtime_mode,
		Serialization::PretrainedMetadata	source_metadata = {},
		WeightQuantization	weight_quantization = WeightQuantization::None )

inlineexplicitprotected

Parameters

network	The transformer stack this model owns.
runtime_mode	Inference or Training, fixed for the model's lifetime.
source_metadata	The loaded artifact's metadata, written back verbatim by savePretrained so the result loads by the same path.
weight_quantization	What the live weights actually are, which is a load-time policy rather than a property of the source file.

Both default, because a model reconstructed from a checkpoint has no pretrained provenance to carry; savePretrained refuses rather than writing an artifact that declares nothing.

Member Function Documentation

◆ awaitSampledToken()

template<DeviceType TDeviceType, TensorDataType TPrecision>

int32_t Mila::Dnn::LanguageModel< TDeviceType, TPrecision >::awaitSampledToken ( )

inlineprotected

Block until the last enqueueSampleNext()'s token id is host-visible.

Waits only for that sampling step – device work enqueued after it (the ahead-decoded forward) keeps running, which is what hides the per-token host gap.

◆ enqueueSampleNext()

template<DeviceType TDeviceType, TensorDataType TPrecision>

void Mila::Dnn::LanguageModel< TDeviceType, TPrecision >::enqueueSampleNext	(	const TensorType &	logits,
		TokenTensor &	token_out,
		const SamplingParams &	params )

inlineprotected

Enqueue a sampling step without waiting for the host readback.

Decode-ahead half of the split sampleNext(): the token is written into token_out on the device (ready for the next decode step) and its id travels to the host asynchronously. awaitSampledToken() completes the pair. At most one enqueue may be outstanding.

◆ eosToken()

template<DeviceType TDeviceType, TensorDataType TPrecision>

virtual int32_t Mila::Dnn::LanguageModel< TDeviceType, TPrecision >::eosToken ( ) const

protectedpure virtualnoexcept

Implemented in Mila::Dnn::GptModel< TDeviceType, TPrecision >.

◆ finalLogitSoftcap()

template<DeviceType TDeviceType, TensorDataType TPrecision>

virtual float Mila::Dnn::LanguageModel< TDeviceType, TPrecision >::finalLogitSoftcap ( ) const

inlineprotectedvirtualnoexcept

Optional final-logit softcap the sampler applies (0 disables).

Gemma overrides this with its 30.0 cap; other models leave it at 0.

◆ generate()

template<DeviceType TDeviceType, TensorDataType TPrecision>

GenerateStatus Mila::Dnn::LanguageModel< TDeviceType, TPrecision >::generate	(	std::span< const int32_t >	prompt_tokens,
		const std::function< void(int32_t)> &	on_token,
		const GenerateParams &	params = {},
		std::stop_token	stop = {} )

inlinenodiscard

Generate tokens from a prompt, streaming each through on_token.

Blocking, serial token generation: the model owns the decode loop (it owns the KV cache and the device stream) and pushes every generated token (EOS excluded) to on_token on the caller's thread until it stops. Returns why it stopped – the one outcome the caller cannot reconstruct from the token stream. Timing/throughput are the harness's to measure from the callback cadence; the model keeps no stopwatch. Callers that want asynchrony own the threading (e.g. the Python ModelWorker runs this on its own thread).

Parameters

prompt_tokens	Input token ids.
on_token	Per-token callback invoked on the caller's thread.
params	Per-call generation parameters (loop bound + sampling).
stop	Stop token for cooperative cancellation.

Returns: Why generation stopped.

◆ maxSequenceLength()

template<DeviceType TDeviceType, TensorDataType TPrecision>

virtual dim_t Mila::Dnn::LanguageModel< TDeviceType, TPrecision >::maxSequenceLength ( ) const

protectedpure virtualnoexcept

Implemented in Mila::Dnn::GptModel< TDeviceType, TPrecision >, and Mila::Dnn::LlamaModel< TDeviceType, TPrecision >.

◆ onGenerating()

template<DeviceType TDeviceType, TensorDataType TPrecision>

virtual GenerateStatus Mila::Dnn::LanguageModel< TDeviceType, TPrecision >::onGenerating	(	std::span< const int32_t >	prompt_tokens,
		const std::function< void(int32_t)> &	on_token,
		const GenerateParams &	params,
		std::stop_token	stop )

protectedpure virtual

Prefill + decode implementation hook.

Derived classes own the full autoregressive generation loop. on_token must be called for every generated token except EOS. stop.stop_requested() must be checked on each decode step and generation must abort early when signalled, returning the GenerateStatus that reflects why the loop stopped.

Parameters

prompt_tokens	Input token ids.
on_token	Per-token callback.
params	Per-call generation parameters (loop bound + sampling).
stop	Stop token for cooperative cancellation.

Returns: Why generation stopped.

Implemented in Mila::Dnn::GemmaModel< TDeviceType, TPrecision >, Mila::Dnn::GptModel< TDeviceType, TPrecision >, and Mila::Dnn::LlamaModel< TDeviceType, TPrecision >.

◆ sampleNext()

template<DeviceType TDeviceType, TensorDataType TPrecision>

int32_t Mila::Dnn::LanguageModel< TDeviceType, TPrecision >::sampleNext	(	const TensorType &	logits,
		TokenTensor &	token_out,
		const SamplingParams &	params )

inlineprotected

Sample the next token from a logits row on the device.

Lazily constructs the model-owned TokenSampler on first use (the network is built and the execution context valid by the time generation runs), then samples from the final row of logits, writing the int32 token into token_out in place (ready for the next decode step) and returning the host value.

◆ savePretrained()

template<DeviceType TDeviceType, TensorDataType TPrecision>

void Mila::Dnn::LanguageModel< TDeviceType, TPrecision >::savePretrained ( const std::filesystem::path & path ) const

inline

Write this model's live weights as a safetensors artifact.

The inverse of fromPretrained, and named for it: what this writes is what that reads. Weights go out as they currently sit on the device, so a model loaded under FP4 or FP8 produces a PRE-QUANTIZED artifact – packed storage plus its scale companions. That is the point of the operation: quantization is a load-time policy, so the quantized bytes exist nowhere until a model has been built with one.

The source artifact's metadata is written back verbatim, so the result loads by the same path that loaded the original and is readable by any safetensors reader without Mila.

Family-agnostic by construction: the tensor vocabulary comes from the network's own flat-save traversal, so a family is covered as soon as every composite that owns a parameter drives both halves of it. A composite that only recurses and silently drops its own tensors is the failure this cannot see – the export tool's source reconciliation is what catches that.

Parameters

path	Destination artifact path; parent directories are created.

Exceptions

std::runtime_error if the model carries no pretrained provenance (it was reconstructed from a checkpoint), or if the file cannot be written.

◆ seedSampler()

template<DeviceType TDeviceType, TensorDataType TPrecision>

void Mila::Dnn::LanguageModel< TDeviceType, TPrecision >::seedSampler ( uint64_t seed )

inline

Seed the sampler's RNG for reproducible generation.

Reproducibility is a property of the RNG stream, not of a single call: seed once (before a run or a session), then the token stream is deterministic for a given prompt and model. Deliberately not a per-call GenerateParams field, so a caller cannot accidentally reset the stream on every call.

◆ vocabSize()

template<DeviceType TDeviceType, TensorDataType TPrecision>

virtual dim_t Mila::Dnn::LanguageModel< TDeviceType, TPrecision >::vocabSize ( ) const

protectedpure virtualnoexcept

Implemented in Mila::Dnn::GptModel< TDeviceType, TPrecision >, and Mila::Dnn::LlamaModel< TDeviceType, TPrecision >.

template<DeviceType TDeviceType, TensorDataType TPrecision>

Serialization::PretrainedMetadata Mila::Dnn::LanguageModel< TDeviceType, TPrecision >::source_metadata_

protected

Empty for a model reconstructed from a checkpoint, which savePretrained refuses.
