AgentDebuggerEnv β Project Handover
What This Project Is
A GRPO-trained LLM (Qwen2.5-Coder-7B-Instruct) that learns to debug Python code through structured hypothesis-driven reasoning. Submitted to the Meta + PyTorch + HuggingFace OpenEnv Hackathon.

Dependency Versions (locked β do not change without testing)
| Package | Version | Why pinned |
|---|---|---|
trl |
0.14.0 |
First version with GRPOTrainer + GRPOConfig |
pydantic |
2.12.5 |
Only version satisfying both gradio base AND gradio[mcp] constraints |
gradio |
6.13.0[oauth,mcp] |
HF Space builder requires extras in one install pass |
bitsandbytes |
0.45.3 (Kaggle) / 0.43.3 (HF Space cu121) |
0.45.3 has CUDA 12.x binaries; 0.43.3 works with cu121 |
transformers |
4.46.3 |
Tested with TRL 0.14.0 |
torch |
2.5.1+cu121 (HF Space) / pre-installed (Kaggle) |
GRPOConfig param name: max_completion_length (NOT max_new_tokens β that's the old name, breaks on 0.14.0)
Training Script β Key Design Decisions
GPU Auto-Detection (train_grpo.py ~line 260)
The script detects GPU at runtime and sets all hyperparams automatically:
| GPU | dtype | batch | grad_accum | num_gen | max_comp | lora_r |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A100 40GB+ | bfloat16 | 2 | 4 | 8 | 256 | 16 |
| V100 32GB | float16 | 1 | 8 | 6 | 220 | 12 |
| T4 / β€16GB | float16 | 1 | 8 | 4 | 160 | 8 |
Critical: P100 is NOT supported β PyTorch 2.x dropped sm_60 support. Use T4 instead.
Curriculum
- Steps 0β150: Tier 1 bugs only (9 bugs)
- Steps 150β350: Tier 1 + Tier 2 (40 bugs)
- Steps 350+: All tiers (61 bugs)
Reward Components (server/reward_calculator.py)
| Component | Weight | What it measures |
|---|---|---|
| format_compliance | 0.10 | All 5 fields present (OBSERVATION/HYPOTHESIS/CONFIDENCE/ACTION/DETAIL) |
| hypothesis_quality | 0.20 | Length + references specific variable names |
| localization | 0.15 | Correct function/line identified |
| fix_quality | 0.35 | Tests pass on proposed fix |
| semantic_similarity | 0.10 | Similarity to canonical fix |
| efficiency_potential | 0.10 | Potential-based shaping (Ibrahim et al. 2024) |
Required Output Format
OBSERVATION: [specific observations with line numbers]
HYPOTHESIS: [2+ sentences explaining root cause with variable names]
CONFIDENCE: [low | medium | high]
ACTION: [inspect_lines | run_tests | propose_fix | request_context | give_up]
DETAIL: [complete fixed function code if propose_fix, else details]

Resume from checkpoint:
python training/train_grpo.py --resume ./checkpoints/checkpoint-400
Local sanity check (no GPU):
python training/train_grpo.py --test-local
HF Space Setup (training monitor)
The training Space (AgentDebugger-training-v2) is a Gradio app that:
- On startup, spawns
training/train_grpo.pyin a background thread - Shows a live training log in the UI, auto-refreshing every 30s
Required Space secrets:
WANDB_API_KEYHF_TOKEN
Push to Space:
git remote set-url space https://shashaank0707:YOUR_HF_TOKEN@huggingface.co/spaces/shashaank0707/AgentDebugger-training-v2
git push space main --force

Training runs appear here automatically when WANDB_API_KEY is set.
What's Left To Do
- Finish training β 500β1000 steps, model pushes to HF Hub automatically on completion
- Verify trained model β run
inference.pyagainst the trained model checkpoint - Update HF Space README β change curriculum description to match actual step boundaries (150/350)
- Submission β ensure the inference/env Space (
AgentDebugger-env) is live and healthy for judging
