Axiom-TTT Inference Engine – Rust implementation using candle
Documentation
//! Local checkpoint bootstrap.
//!
//! A fresh clone ships no checkpoint, so the proxy boots on **random weights** —
//! the neural recall fingerprint is then pure noise (`recall_norm = 0`). That is
//! the single worst first-run experience. This module trains a small model
//! *locally and offline* (the procedural dataset needs no corpus and no network)
//! and persists it, so `axiom init` can guarantee the runtime always loads real,
//! converged-enough weights instead of noise.
//!
//! The bootstrap is intentionally tiny and bounded: it matches the CPU-friendly
//! runtime dims (d_model=64, n_layers=2) and a short epoch/step budget, so it
//! finishes in seconds. Users who want the full scaled BPE model still run the
//! `train_tokenizer` + `train_semantic` pipeline; this just removes the
//! random-weights cliff.
