Phase 0: Baseline Establishment

Step 1: Model Architecture Verification

The baseline SSM model (M_base) is implemented in models/baseline_ssm.py. To verify the implementation:

```python from models.baseline_ssm import BaselineSSM import torch

Initialize baseline model

model = BaselineSSM( dmodel=768, nlayer=12, vocabsize=50257, dstate=16, d_conv=4 )

Test forward pass

inputids = torch.randint(0, 50257, (2, 1024)) outputs = model(inputids) print(f"Output shape: {outputs.shape}") # Should be [2, 1024, 50257] ```

Step 2: Performance Profiling

Establish baseline metrics for comparison:

```python from utils.profiling import countparameters, countflops, measure_latency

Parameter count

paraminfo = countparameters(model) print(f"Total parameters: {paraminfo['totalparameters']:,}")

FLOPs analysis

flopinfo = countflops(model, (1, 1024)) print(f"Total FLOPs: {flopinfo['totalflops']:,}")

Latency measurement (requires CUDA)

latencyinfo = measurelatency(model, (1, 1024), device="cuda") print(f"Mean latency: {latencyinfo['meanlatency_ms']:.2f}ms") ```

Step 3: Pre-training Setup

Configure and run baseline pre-training:

```bash

Edit configs/pretrain_base.yaml as needed

python pretrain.py --config configs/pretrainbase.yaml --outputdir ./checkpoints/baseline ```

Key Features: - State trajectory collection via PyTorch hooks on SSM scan operations - Correlation matrix computation using Pearson correlation on state trajectories - TSP-based permutation finding with greedy algorithm (distance = 1 - |correlation|) - Comprehensive weight reordering for Mamba parameters: Alog, dtproj, x_proj

Results: Successfully processed 64 samples from WikiText-103, generated optimal permutation [0, 11, 13, 7, 3, 5, 12, 9, 1, 8, 15, 6, 14, 2, 4, 10], and reordered 36 parameter tensors across all layers with mean absolute correlation 0.0794.

✅ Pillar 2: SDM (Structured Differentiable Masking) - COMPLETED

Status: Data-driven channel-wise sparsity learning with Gumbel-Sigmoid sampling.

Key Features: - Learnable Sparsity Parameters: Each channel has learnable importance logits z_c trained end-to-end - Gumbel-Sigmoid Sampling: Differentiable binary masking during training with temperature annealing (5.0 → 0.1) - Structured Channel Pruning: Hardware-friendly sparsity enabling real speedups through reduced matrix dimensions - Sparsity Regularization: Combined loss L_total = L_task + λ * Σ m_c balancing performance and compression - Importance Score Extraction: Layer-wise importance scores for SGH-PEFT allocation

✅ Pillar 3: SGH-PEFT (Sparsity-Guided Hybrid PEFT) - COMPLETED

Status: Intelligent parameter-efficient fine-tuning using hybrid LoRA/IA³ adapters guided by SDM importance scores.

Key Features: - Importance-Based Allocation: Extracts layer-wise importance from SDM zlogits to intelligently allocate adapter types - Hybrid Adapter Strategy: - High-importance layers → High-rank LoRA (rank=16) - Medium-importance layers → Low-rank LoRA (rank=4)
