docs: Prism 2.1 miner contract + LoopMoE example - #14
Conversation
Mirror BASE v2.1 miner contract (G2 leaf, 1B/4-GPU, dual cap) and add the LoopMoE AutoModel example. No control-plane source.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PR updates the Prism recipe to version 2.1.0 and adds a LoopMoE reference submission. The submission includes a configurable language model, custom kernels, CUDA 13 dependencies, and single- or multi-GPU training support. Documentation covers revised scoring and operational contracts. ChangesPrism 2.1 recipe and LoopMoE example
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The PR adds the LoopMoE training example and updates the Recipe 2.1 miner documentation, but the current code can silently discard trained weights, hang multi-GPU runs, allow unsafe local payload or cache substitution, and substantially inflate memory and compute; the documentation also contains conflicting limits and submission requirements. These correctness, security, availability, and contract risks should be fixed before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

documentation accordingly.
- Around line 218-228: Update the “Retry vs re-POST” Markdown table header and

from the generic 2-D normal initialization, preserving their deliberate zero
initialization while retaining the existing initialization behavior for other
parameters.
- Around line 828-835: Update the transformer-engine availability check in the
surrounding recipe setup to explicitly import importlib.util before calling
find_spec, ensuring the fallback probe does not raise AttributeError when
ctx["te_available"] is false and _maybe_te_recipe() can run when the package is

NVFP4BlockScaling, Float4BlockScaling, and MXFP4BlockScaling so the returned

related metrics reflect the active-token estimate rather than counting all
experts as executed.

In `@examples/loopmoe/model.py`:

path near self.head(x), since callers use the returned logits directly;

- Around line 304-318: Replace the in-place index_add_ call in the expert
accumulation loop with an out-of-place accumulation operation, preserving the
existing token indices, weighted contributions, and output dtype so the path
works when self.shared(flat) returns a view.
- Line 412: Update the coda stack construction in the model initializer to honor
cfg["n_coda"] by creating that many coda blocks, preserving the existing
DeltaBlock and AttnBlock composition for each stack entry; alternatively remove
n_coda from DEFAULTS and _OVERRIDE_KEYS if configurability is not intended.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
The DDP path replaces the harness stream and then writes the harness counters by hand.
docs/prism.md lines 59-64 state that training must consume global batches from ctx["train_stream"], that rank 0 must own that stream and scatter each accounted global batch, and that workers must not create independent dataset streams. examples/loopmoe/README.md lines 27-29 claim the example honors that contract.
This implementation does the opposite:
- Line 760 copies at most 4096 texts to disk, and each worker builds its own
_LocalStreamwith a rank-shifted seed (patch lines 619-627). Rank 0 does not scatter accounted batches. - Lines 807-813 then mutate
stream.tokens_seen,stream.flops_spent, andstream.batches_yieldedafter the fact, overwriting the harness-owned accounting that enforces the step, wall, and FLOPs caps. _release_parent_cudaalso reassignsstream.deviceand tensor attributes on the harness object (patch lines 337-343).
A reference example that bypasses cap accounting teaches the pattern the recipe rejects. Either implement rank-0 scatter from ctx["train_stream"], or state plainly in examples/loopmoe/README.md and docs/prism.md line 102-107 that the DDP path does not satisfy the stream contract.

_unwrap unwraps only one layer, so torch.compile plus DDP silently discards trained weights.
_unwrap returns model.module when the attribute exists. With LOOPMOE_COMPILE=1, _maybe_compile at line 242 wraps the DDP module in an OptimizedModule. OptimizedModule.module is the DDP wrapper, not the LoopMoE model.
Line 604 then saves _unwrap(compiled).state_dict(), which produces keys prefixed with module.. Line 732 loads that file with strict=False, so every key mismatches, no error is raised, and the parent model keeps its untrained initial weights. The reported metrics still look correct.
_train_loop line 378 has the same problem: core becomes the DDP wrapper, so core.grad_checkpoint = False at line 382 sets an attribute on DDP instead of the model, and getattr(core, "aux_loss", None) at line 411 returns None, which drops the MoE aux loss from the objective.
Unwrap in a loop.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Per-rank loop termination desynchronizes the DDP collectives.
The loop condition uses each rank's own t0 and its own guard() wall-clock deadline set at line 561. time.time() and tokenizer work differ per rank, so ranks do not exit on the same step.
When one rank exits and another runs one more step, the remaining rank blocks in the gradient all-reduce inside loss.backward(). It waits for the 15-minute NCCL timeout set at line 495 and then aborts the job. The torch.distributed.barrier() at line 614 and the all_reduce at line 599 hang for the same reason. With parallel="zero1", opt.step() also desynchronizes.
Decide the stop condition collectively. Broadcast rank 0's decision, or all-reduce a stop flag once per step.

Run artifacts go to fixed, world-writable /tmp paths in examples/loopmoe/entry.py and examples/loopmoe/ddp_worker.py. Both files choose a predictable location under /tmp for files that a worker process later reads and executes. On a shared host, a local attacker can create or replace those paths first. The shared root cause is the absence of an owner-only run directory for the LoopMoE example.

PyTorch torch.nn.functional.rms_norm introduced version release notes
💡 Result:
The function torch.nn.functional.rms_norm was introduced into the PyTorch library prior to version 2.9, as evidenced by its inclusion in documentation for that release [1]. It remains an active part of the torch.nn.functional API in current versions [2][3][4]. While the functional interface was available earlier, PyTorch has continued to update and optimize RMSNorm implementations in recent releases. For example, recent developments include fixes for numerical accuracy in half-precision (fp16/bf16) [5] and the introduction of a fused implementation for enhanced performance [6][7]. Note that while torch.nn.functional.rms_norm provides the functional operation, the corresponding module, torch.nn.RMSNorm, is also available for object-oriented usage [8][9].

🌐 Web query:
site:docs.pytorch.org/docs/2.4 torch.nn.functional.rms_norm
💡 Result:
There is no function named torch.nn.functional.rms_norm in the PyTorch documentation. Based on the provided search results, which cover the official PyTorch 2.4 documentation, this function does not exist in the public PyTorch API [1][2][3]. Root Mean Square Normalization (RMSNorm) is a common normalization technique in deep learning, particularly in transformer-based architectures, but it is not currently provided as a built-in functional in the standard torch.nn.functional namespace [3][4]. Users typically implement RMSNorm manually using standard PyTorch tensor operations or by creating a custom nn.Module. A common implementation pattern for RMSNorm involves calculating the root mean square of the input tensor and scaling it accordingly: import torch def rms_norm(x, weight, eps=1e-6): # Calculate the RMS of the input rms = torch.rsqrt(x.pow(2).mean(-1, keepdim=True) + eps) # Normalize and scale with weight return x * rms * weight

SwiGLU.forward pads the wrong dimension for 3-D inputs in both copies. The dense MLP receives (b, t, d), but the implementation pads x.shape[0]; with the documented micro-batch of 8 this pads 8 rows to 64, causing roughly 8× the MLP compute and activation use while discarding the extra results. The same implementation exists in examples/loopmoe/automodel.patch. Flatten to (b*t, d), pad the token dimension to 64, then restore the original shape, or skip this alignment for non-2-D inputs.
