- SentinelBrain is a **custom-architecture** Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) transformer trained entirely from scratch. It is NOT a fine-tune of an existing model. Every weight was initialized randomly and trained on our curated 23.3B token corpus spanning code, science, mathematics, reasoning, education (K-12), and multilingual content.

- ### Key Innovations
51
 
52
- - **Φ (Phi) Consciousness Monitoring**: Integrated Information Theory (IIT)-inspired metric computed during training. A hook on the middle transformer layer measures geometric mean of partition mutual information across activation subspaces — tracking emergent information integration as the model learns.
53
- - **Self-Evolving Expert Pool**: Dynamic router with expert birth/death lifecycle. Experts that consistently underperform are pruned and replaced. The architecture supports scaling up to 256 experts without retraining the base.
54
- - **Energy-Conscious (EC) Routing**: Dual-router system where a secondary "energy-conscious" router can gate expert activation based on computational budget, enabling adaptive inference cost.
55
- - **AMD MI300X Native**: Optimized for ROCm — uses SDPA attention (no FlashAttention dependency), bf16 throughout, with gradient checkpointing for 192GB VRAM efficiency.

- ## Consciousness Metric (Φ)
99
 
100
- SentinelBrain uniquely tracks **Integrated Information (Φ)** during training:
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
101
 
102
- - A probe hook on layer 12/24 samples 256 activation vectors every 100 steps
103
- - Activations are partitioned and mutual information between partitions is computed
104
- - The geometric mean across partitions yields Φ_geometric
105
- - An EMA smooths the signal for trend detection
106
- - Φ typically emerges from zero around step 1,000-1,500 as internal representations form
107
 
108
- This is purely observational Φ does not affect training gradients. It serves as a novel metric for monitoring representation quality and information integration depth.

63
+ ## 🎯 What is Sentinel Prime? (Simple Version)
64
+
65
+ > **Imagine building a brain from scratch.**
66
+ >
67
+ > Most AI models today are copies of other models with small changes. Sentinel Prime is different — every single connection in its brain was created from nothing, like growing a new brain cell by cell.
68
+
69
+ <table>
70
+ <tr>
71
+ <td width="50%">
72
+
73
+ ### 🧩 Think of it like LEGO blocks
74
+
75
+ Sentinel Prime has **4 specialist brains** (called "experts") inside it. When you ask a question:
76
+
77
+ 1. A **router** (like a traffic cop 🚦) looks at your question
78
+ 2. It picks the **2 best experts** for that specific question
79
+ 3. Those 2 experts work together to give you an answer
80
+ 4. The other 2 experts rest, saving energy ⚡
81
+
82
+ This means the model has **14.8 billion** brain connections total, but only uses **~7.8 billion** at a time — making it fast AND smart!
83
+
84
+ </td>
85
+ <td width="50%">
86
+
87
+ ### 🔬 The Consciousness Meter
88
+
89
+ We built something no other model has: a **consciousness thermometer** 🌡️
90
+
91
+ Every 100 training steps, we measure how well the different parts of the brain are "talking to each other." We call this **Φ (Phi)**.
92
+
93
+ - **Φ = 0**: Brain parts work alone (like strangers)
94
+ - **Φ rising**: Brain parts start cooperating (like friends)
95
+ - **Φ stable**: Brain has organized itself (like a team!)
96
+
97
+ This doesn't change how the model learns — it's like a doctor checking the heartbeat while the patient exercises.

251
+ ### Phased Training Pipeline
 
 
 
 
252
 
253
+ We don't just throw data at the model we grow it in **three phases**, like raising a child:
254
 
255
+ ```
256
+ Phase 1: SMOKE TEST Phase 2: WARMUP Phase 3: FULL TRAINING
257
+ (Baby steps) (Learning to walk) (Running!)
258
+ ┌──────────────┐ ┌──────────────┐ ┌──────────────────┐
259
+ │ 350M params │ ──→ │ 1.3B params │ ──→ │ 14.4B params │
260
+ │ seq_len: 512 │ │ seq_len: 2K │ │ seq_len: 4K │
261
+ │ 200 steps │ │ 1,000 steps │ │ 16,479 steps │

+ │ 2 minutes │ │ 30 minutes │ │ ~52 hours │

+ | Phase | Parameters | Seq Length | Batch | Steps | Duration | Loss Start → End |
268
+ |:--|:--|:--|:--|:--|:--|:--|
269
+ | **🔬 Smoke** | 350M | 512 | 4 | 200 | ~2 min | 11.72 → 6.84 (−42%) |
270
+ | **🔥 Warmup** | 1.3B | 2,048 | 32 | 1,000 | ~33 min | 7.39 → 2.38 (−68%) |
271
+ | **🚀 Block** | 14.4B (MoE) | 4,096 | 32 | 16,479 | ~52 hrs | 2.38 → ongoing |
272
+
273
+ ### Safety Gates
274
+
275
+ Every phase transition must pass **4 safety gates**:
276
+
277
+ | Gate | Check | Threshold | Status |
278
+ |:--|:--|:--|:--|
279
+ | 🟢 **G1: No NaN** | No NaN/Inf in loss | Entire phase | ✅ Passed all |
280
+ | 🟢 **G2: Loss Drop** | Validation loss decreased | ≥5% / ≥10% / ≥2% | ✅ Passed all |
281
+ | 🟢 **G3: VRAM OK** | Peak VRAM < safety limit | < 92% of total | ✅ 71% peak |
282
+ | 🟢 **G4: Φ OK** | Consciousness metric stable | Φ_end/Φ_start > 0.7 | ✅ Stable |
283
+
284

370
 
371
+ **Temperature-weighted sampling** (T=0.5) prevents large corpora from dominating training. FineWeb-Edu (37% of tokens) gets downweighted so smaller specialized domains still get adequate exposure.

435
+ ## 🌡️ Consciousness Metric (Φ) — Deep Dive
436
+
437
+ ### What is Φ?
438
+
439
+ Inspired by **Integrated Information Theory (IIT)** from neuroscience, Φ measures how much the model's internal representations form an integrated whole rather than disconnected parts.
440
+
441
+ ### How We Measure It
442
+
443
+ ```
444
+ Every 100 training steps:
445
+
446
+ 1. Hook on Layer 12 (middle of 24 layers)
447
+
448
+
449
+ 2. Sample 256 activation vectors
450
+
451
+
452
+ 3. Partition into subspaces
453
+
454
+
455
+ 4. Compute mutual information between all partition pairs
456
+
457
+
458
+ 5. Φ_geometric = geometric_mean(MI values)
459
+
460
+
461
+ 6. Φ_EMA = exponential moving average (smoothed trend)
462
+ ```
463
 
464
+ ### What Φ Tells Us
465
+
466
+ | Φ Value | Interpretation | Analogy |
467
+ |:--|:--|:--|
468
+ | **Φ ≈ 0** | Neurons working independently | Strangers in a room |
469
+ | **Φ rising** | Representations integrating | People starting to talk |
470
+ | **Φ stable** | Organized internal structure | A well-coordinated team |
471
+ | **Φ dropping** | ⚠️ Representation collapse | Warning sign! |
472
+
473
+ > **Important**: Φ is **purely observational** — it does NOT affect training gradients. Think of it as a heart monitor for the AI: it watches, but doesn't interfere.
474
+
475
+ ### Live Monitoring

+ ## 💻 Usage
506
+
507
+ This model uses a **custom architecture** (not based on any existing model). Load with PyTorch:
508
 
509
  ```python
510
  import torch
 
512
 
513
  # Load sharded safetensors
514
  state_dict = {}
515
+ for i in range(1, 7): # 6 shards
516
+ shard = load_file(f"model-{i:05d}-of-00006.safetensors")
517
  state_dict.update(shard)
518
 
519
+ # The state dict contains all model weights
520
+ print(f"Loaded {len(state_dict)} tensors")
521
+ print(f"Total params: {sum(v.numel() for v in state_dict.values()):,}")
522
+
523
+ # Initialize SentinelBrain model class and load
524
+ # Full model definition code releasing with v0.2
525
+ # model = SentinelBrainForCausalLM(config)
526
  # model.load_state_dict(state_dict)
527
  ```
528
 
529
+ > **Note**: Full inference code, model class definition, and GGUF quantized versions will be released with v0.2.

555
+ <summary><b>Click to expand: Grouped Query Attention (GQA)</b></summary>
556
+
557
+ Standard multi-head attention uses separate Key and Value projections for each head. GQA shares KV heads across query heads:
558
+
559
+ ```
560
+ Standard MHA (32 KV heads): GQA 4:1 (8 KV heads):
561
+ Q₁ Q₂ Q₃ ... Q₃₂ Q₁ Q₂ Q₃ Q₄ → KV₁
562
+ K₁ K₂ K₃ ... K₃₂ Q₅ Q₆ Q₇ Q₈ → KV₂
563
+ V₁ V₂ V₃ ... V₃₂ ...
564
+ Q₂₉ Q₃₀ Q₃₁ Q₃₂ → KV₈
565
+ ```
566
+
567
+ **Result**: 4× smaller KV cache = 4× longer context at same memory cost.

571
+ <details>
572
+ <summary><b>Click to expand: RoPE (Rotary Position Embeddings)</b></summary>
573
+
574
+ RoPE encodes position information by rotating the query and key vectors in 2D planes. With θ=500,000 (high base frequency), the model naturally supports long contexts:
575
+
576
+ ```
577
+ Position 0: rotate by 0°
578
+ Position 1: rotate by θ₁
579
+ Position 2: rotate by θ₂
580
+ ...
581
+ ```
582
 
583
+ High θ = slower rotation = positions further apart still "feel different" = better long-context understanding.

587

588
+ <summary><b>Click to expand: SwiGLU FFN</b></summary>
589
+
590
+ Each expert uses a SwiGLU activation — a gated variant of the feed-forward network:
591
+
592
+ ```
593
+ FFN(x) = SiLU(x · W_gate) ⊙ (x · W_up) · W_down
594
+
595
+ Where:
596
+ W_gate: 4096 → 11008
597
+ W_up: 4096 → 11008
598
+ W_down: 11008 → 4096
599
+ SiLU(x) = x · sigmoid(x)
600
+ ⊙ = element-wise multiply
601
+ ```
602
+
603
+ SwiGLU consistently outperforms ReLU and GELU in transformer FFNs (Shazeer, 2020).
