Uses

Direct Use

Generating minimal code fixes from error traces.

import torch
from multiscale_transformer.model.model import MultiScaleTransformer
from multiscale_transformer.training.tokenizer import ByteTokenizer
ckpt = torch.load("axl_fixer_12m.pt", map_location="cpu")
model = MultiScaleTransformer(config)
model.load_state_dict(ckpt["model_state_dict"])
model.eval()
tokenizer = ByteTokenizer()
ids = torch.tensor([tokenizer.encode("def hello():")], dtype=torch.long)
with torch.no_grad():
    out = model.generate(ids, max_new_tokens=50, temperature=0.8)
print(tokenizer.decode(out[0].tolist()))

Out-of-Scope Use

Not for production code generation. Not for non-code NLP tasks. For integration with tools like Continue.dev, LlamaIndex, or LangChain, use the Python API server which provides OpenAI-compatible endpoints.

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

Byte-level perplexity is not comparable to BPE-level perplexity. Agentic model. Max context 512 bytes. Note: GGUF files for Ollama use a simplified single-stack encoder. For full AXL quality, use the Python API server.

Recommendations

• Use for prototyping and experimentation, not production code generation.
• Byte-level perplexity (258 vocab) is not comparable to BPE-level perplexity (32K vocab).
• For better results, use the Lion-optimized version if available.

Training Details

Training Data

Trained with SGD for 10 min on debug data. Self-debug cross-attention.

Preprocessing

Byte-level tokenization with vocabulary size 258 (256 bytes + BOS + EOS). No vocabulary training required.

Speeds, Sizes, Times

Evaluation

Metrics

Perplexity on held-out Python code using byte-level tokenization.

Results

Summary: Generates minimal fixes from error traces. Pairs with AXL-Debugger.

Environmental Impact

Technical Specifications

Model Architecture

Multi-Scale Transformer with three parallel encoder stacks at resolution scales 1x, 2x, and 4x. Cross-scale attention connects all scale pairs. Adaptive gating fusion. SwiGLU feed-forward. RoPE positional encoding.
