BitTransformerLM v2.0 - Production Release πŸš€

Major Optimizations Implemented

βœ… Performance Enhancements

  • Optimized run-length encoding with batch processing and parallel compression
  • Memory-efficient chunked attention for long sequences with gradient checkpointing
  • Advanced pipeline parallelism with load balancing and memory management

βœ… Code Quality Improvements

  • Unified CLI flag naming conventions across all scripts
  • Standardized function signatures with comprehensive type hints
  • Comprehensive error recovery system with fallback mechanisms

βœ… Production Readiness

  • Enhanced distributed training with FSDP and advanced communication optimization
  • Robust error handling with graceful degradation
  • Memory monitoring and automatic optimization

Key Features

  • Bit-native Architecture: Efficient processing of binary sequences
  • Safety Telemetry: K/C/S metrics for model behavior monitoring
  • Reversible Layers: Memory-efficient transformer architecture
  • Multi-format Support: Run-length encoding, bit packing, diffusion mode
  • Distributed Training: Advanced parallelism with automatic load balancing

Ready for production deployment and large-scale training workloads.
