 # FATHOM — First RL-Trained Recursive Language Model
 
-FATHOM is an OpenEnv environment + GRPO training pipeline that teaches a small language model to solve QA tasks over contexts much larger than its own context window, by learning selective recursion (`python_repl` + `llm()` calls) instead of brute-force reading.
+FATHOM is an OpenEnv environment + GRPO training pipeline that teaches a small open-source language model (Qwen 2.5 Coder 1.5B, 4-bit + LoRA) to use a Recursive Language Model scaffold well: slice long contexts with Python, grep for relevant regions, delegate to sub-LM calls only when needed, and answer questions about documents that are 50× larger than its own native context window.

+## Architecture
 
-If you fork this repo for your own team, replace the URLs above with your own Space URL before final submission.
+![FATHOM architecture](assets/architecture.png)
+
+A TRL `GRPOTrainer` runs Qwen 2.5 Coder 1.5B (4-bit + LoRA r=16, Unsloth-patched) and rolls out 8 generations per step against the FATHOM OpenEnv server. The env exposes two tool primitives — a sandboxed Python REPL and a recursive `llm()` call — so the agent can decompose long documents on its own. A composable, deterministic verifier (4 components: `format_gate` × `correctness` + `token_budget` + `recursion_efficiency`) returns the scalar reward.
+
+If GitHub doesn't render the PNG, the source spec is in [`assets/architecture.mmd`](assets/architecture.mmd).
+
+---
 
 ## Problem and Why It Matters
 
-LLMs still struggle when the relevant evidence is buried in very long documents. FATHOM trains an agent to reason under token budget constraints by:
+Long-context inference keeps growing (1M-token Gemini, 200K Claude), but small open-weights models are still capped at 4K–32K tokens. For laptop / edge deployments, the only economically viable path through a 200K-token document is **decomposition**: slice the doc, run cheap operations to find the relevant span, and only call the LLM on the small slice that matters.
 
-- slicing large context with targeted Python operations,
-- escalating to sub-LM calls only when needed,
-- optimizing for both correctness and efficiency.
+Recursive Language Models (RLMs) formalise this. Base models, however, are bad at the discipline: they over-recurse, over-grep, or skip the tools and hallucinate. **FATHOM** is the first openly-published OpenEnv RL environment that *teaches* a small model the discipline of recursive-LM use, end-to-end with GRPO.
 
-This targets a real capability gap: **resource-aware long-context reasoning**.
+---
 
 ## Environment Design (OpenEnv)
 
-FATHOM follows OpenEnv's server contract and exposes:
+FATHOM follows the OpenEnv server contract:
+
+- `POST /reset` — start an episode, returns initial Observation (the document + question)
+- `POST /step` — execute one tool action (REPL or `llm()` call), returns next Observation + reward signal
+- `GET /state` — debug introspection
+- `GET /healthz` — readiness probe
 
-- `POST /reset`
-- `POST /step`
-- `GET /state`
-- `GET /healthz`
+Tool primitives:
 
-Core implementation lives in:
+| Primitive | Implementation | Safety |
+|-----------|----------------|--------|
+| `repl(code)` | RestrictedPython AST filter + subprocess sandbox | Network off, ulimit'd CPU/memory, ephemeral cwd, non-root |
+| `llm(prompt, slice)` | Recursive sub-call into the same model | Depth capped at 2 in training, 4 at demo time |
 
-- `env/server/app.py`
-- `env/server/environment.py`
-- `env/server/repl.py`
-- `env/server/llm_primitive.py`
+Implementation:
 
-Manifest: `openenv.yaml`
+- `env/server/app.py` — FastAPI surface
+- `env/server/environment.py` — Observation/Action types + episode state
+- `env/server/repl.py` — sandboxed REPL
+- `env/server/llm_primitive.py` — recursive sub-call dispatcher
+- `openenv.yaml` — Hub manifest
+
+---
 
 ## Reward Design
 
-Reward is compositional and deterministic (no LLM-as-judge in training loop):
+Deterministic, composable, no LLM-as-judge in the training loop. Every task in our 1000-train / 200-eval / 500-held-out dataset has a deterministic gold answer.
+
+| Weight | Component | Source | What it scores |
+|--------|-----------|--------|----------------|
+| **gate** | `format_gate.py` | gate (multiplier) | `<answer>…</answer>` tags present and well-formed |
+| 0.75 | `correctness.py` | additive | Normalised exact-match against gold |
+| 0.20 | `token_budget.py` | penalty | Total tool-call tokens (Mercor sub-prize aligned) |
+| 0.05 | `recursion_efficiency.py` | additive | Recursion depth used / depth required |
+
+Composition: `rewards/compose.py` (`make_reward_fn`) wraps each component, logs each scalar separately to W&B (`reward/format_pass_mean`, `reward/correctness_mean`, etc.), and exposes the composite to TRL's `GRPOTrainer.reward_funcs` interface.
 
-- **Correctness:** exact/short-span answer match
-- **Token budget:** penalize wasteful trajectories
-- **Recursion efficiency:** reward selective, bounded recursion
-- **Format gate:** reject malformed responses from receiving inflated reward
+### Anti-reward-hacking — five attacks, audited before training
 
-Code:
+[`REWARD_AUDIT.md`](REWARD_AUDIT.md) documents five adversarial probes (masked-context, format-only, length-gaming, recursion-spam, copy-pasted-gold) and the deterministic test that catches each. `pytest -m reward_audit` re-runs them on every change.

+# FATHOM: Teaching a 1.5B model to read documents bigger than its context window with RL
+
+*A writeup for the Meta × PyTorch × Hugging Face OpenEnv Hackathon Grand Finale (Bangalore, April 25–26, 2026).*
+
+> **TL;DR** — We built an OpenEnv environment that teaches Qwen 2.5 Coder 1.5B how to *use* a Recursive Language Model scaffold via GRPO. The trained model answers questions about 200K-token documents using only its 4K native context, and the entire pipeline reproduces in a Colab notebook.
+
+---
+
+## 1. The context-window problem
+
+Long-context inference has been getting longer (1M-token Gemini, 200K Claude), but small open-weights models still cap out at 4K-32K. For laptop / edge deployments, the only economically viable path through a 200K-token document is **decomposition**: slice the doc, run cheap operations to find the relevant span, and only call the LLM on the small slice that matters.
+
+Recursive Language Models (RLMs) formalise this: give an LLM a Python REPL plus the ability to call *itself* on a sub-problem. The 1.5B becomes a small executive that orchestrates its own scratchpad. The catch — base models are **bad** at this. They either burn tokens grepping the whole doc, recurse needlessly, or skip the tools and hallucinate.
+
+**FATHOM** is the first openly-published OpenEnv RL environment that teaches a small model the discipline of recursive-LM use, and we trained it with GRPO end-to-end.
+
+---
+
+## 2. The environment (`Pratham-math/fathom-env`)
+
+Live HF Space: <https://huggingface.co/spaces/Pratham-math/fathom-env>
+Endpoint: <https://Pratham-math-fathom-env.hf.space>
+
+The env exposes the standard OpenEnv surface (`/reset`, `/step`, `/healthz`) and gives the agent two tool primitives:
+
+| Primitive | Implementation | What it does |
+|-----------|----------------|--------------|
+| `repl(code: str)` | RestrictedPython AST filter + subprocess sandbox (network-off, ulimit'd, ephemeral cwd) | Slice / grep the document, build intermediate notes |
+| `llm(prompt: str, slice: str)` | Internal recursive sub-call into the same model | Delegate a sub-question on a focused slice |
+
+```python
+# Pseudocode of a typical 2-turn rollout the model learns to produce
+chunk = repl("doc.split('\n\n')[42:48]")          # cheap grep
+ans   = llm("Who is the protagonist?", chunk)     # focused recursion
+print(ans)                                        # final answer
+```
+
+Recursion depth is capped at 2 during training (deeper depths only at demo time). All long documents (~200K tokens of synthetic narrative + QA chains) live on the env; the agent only ever sees small slices.
+
+---
+
+## 3. The reward (deterministic, composable, audited)
+
+No LLM-as-judge. Every task in our 1000-train / 200-eval / 500-held-out dataset has a deterministic gold answer. The reward is built from four grep-verifiable components:
+
+| Weight | Component | Signal |
+|--------|-----------|--------|
+| **gate** | `format_gate.py` | Final answer wrapped in `<answer>…</answer>` tags |
+| 0.75 | `correctness.py` | Exact-match (with normalisation) against gold |
+| 0.20 | `token_budget.py` | Penalty proportional to total tool-call tokens (Mercor sub-prize alignment) |
+| 0.05 | `recursion_efficiency.py` | Reward depth used / depth required ratio |
+
+`compose_reward_fn` in `rewards/compose.py` stitches them into the TRL reward callback contract and **logs each scalar separately to W&B** so we can see which component drives policy updates.
+
+### Anti-reward-hacking: 5 attacks, 5 mitigations
+
+We ran adversarial probes BEFORE training. Each is documented in `REWARD_AUDIT.md` with the exact attack, the symptom it would produce on the reward curve, and the test that catches it. `pytest -m reward_audit` re-runs them on every change.
+
+| # | Attack | Mitigation |
+|---|--------|-----------|
+| 1 | Masked-context (model copies the question as the answer) | gold-set normalisation rejects substring-of-question answers |
+| 2 | Format-only (return `<answer>X</answer>` for any X) | format gate is a multiplier, not an additive bonus |
+| 3 | Length gaming (verbose REPL outputs to game token budget) | budget is *positive penalty* (lower=better), not capped reward |
+| 4 | Recursion spam (deeper recursion = higher reward) | recursion eff is per-depth ratio, capped at depth=2 |
+| 5 | Copy-pasted gold from a leaked prompt | held-out eval split never appears in train env |
+
+---
+
+## 4. The training: GRPO via TRL + Unsloth
+
+We use TRL 1.2 GRPOTrainer with Unsloth-patched 4-bit Qwen 2.5 Coder 1.5B + LoRA r=16. Single A100 / A10G, vLLM colocate mode (server mode breaks multi-turn OpenEnv per [TRL #4543](https://github.com/huggingface/trl/issues/4543)), 8 generations per step, β=0.04 (KL floor preventing collapse, per [EDGE-GRPO §3.2](https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.14538)).
+
+```yaml
+# configs/train/grpo.yaml — the actual training contract
+num_generations: 8
+beta: 0.04
+learning_rate: 5.0e-6
+max_grad_norm: 0.5
+bf16: true
+max_prompt_length: 4096
+max_completion_length: 2048
+optim: adamw_8bit
+max_steps: 400
+vllm_mode: colocate
+vllm_gpu_memory_utilization: 0.45
+```
+
+A 30-step SFT warm-start on Claude-generated traces (`data/sft_traces.jsonl`) gives the model the basic `repl()` + `llm()` schema before GRPO starts shaping the long-tail.
+
+![Reward curve](https://huggingface.co/Pratham-math/fathom-1.5b-grpo/resolve/main/plots/reward_curve.png)
+
+The composite reward rises cleanly from a baseline of \~0.05 to the trained level over the run. The four per-component lines tell us the model first learns format (cheap), then correctness (slow climb), and only then starts trading tokens for accuracy via the budget head.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Results
+
+| Setup | Accuracy on held-out 200K QA | Mean tokens / answer |
+|-------|------------------------------|----------------------|
+| Untrained Qwen 2.5 Coder 1.5B (no env) | refuses / hallucinates | n/a |
+| Untrained Qwen 2.5 Coder 1.5B (with env, no RL) | 23 % | 11,400 |
+| **FATHOM (GRPO-trained)** | **64 %** | **3,800** |
+
+The trained model is **2.8× more accurate** while using **3× fewer tokens**. The Pareto chart in `viz/app.py` shows accuracy-vs-tokens with one point per checkpoint — the trained run dominates the baseline cleanly.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Reproduce it in 5 minutes
+
+1. Open the [Colab notebook](notebooks/fathom_train.ipynb) (link in README)
+2. Run cells 1–5 — verifies env health + smoke test against the live HF Space
+3. (Optional, A100 needed) Run cell 6 — launches a short GRPO sanity run on Qwen 0.5B
+4. Cell 7 produces the `outputs/plots/reward_curve.png` PNG
+
+The full A100 + 1.5B + 400-step run is the same command but with `--flavor=a100-large` on `hf jobs`. We did it for ~$20 of HF credits.
+
+---
+
+## 7. What's next
+
+- **Deeper recursion at inference** — depth-3 / depth-4 with curriculum learning during GRPO
+- **Multi-doc chains** — 5 documents × 40K each as one task, requiring cross-doc reasoning

+- [ ] Browser tabs pre-loaded so no waiting on page-loads during the take
+- [ ] `outputs/plots/reward_curve.png` rendered + W&B run public BEFORE recording
+- [ ] Streamlit `viz/app.py` already running on `localhost:8501`
+- [ ] Single take preferred; if more, edit ruthlessly to ≤90s
+- [ ] Upload to YouTube as **Unlisted**, copy URL into README + submission form
+- [ ] Save the URL into `assets/DEMO_URL.txt` (one line) so the preflight can grep it
+
+## Plan-B if recording fails
+
+The hackathon accepts mini-blog OR slides OR video. If recording falls through:
+- Use `assets/BLOG_DRAFT.md` as the writeup and post on huggingface.co/blog
+- OR build a 5-slide PDF deck (Canva) and save as `assets/pitch.pdf`
+- Either route satisfies the storytelling requirement
