"""Export a bergson MAGIC training checkpoint to a HuggingFace model directory. bergson's MAGIC trainer saves its trajectory as torch distributed-checkpoint (DCP) directories (`step_N.ckpt/` with `.metadata` + `__0_0.distcp`), written by `TrainerState.save` in bergson/magic/trainer.py. That state dict is flat: e.g. "gpt_neox.embed_in.weight" (trainable params) e.g. "gpt_neox.rotary_emb.inv_freq" ".batch_index" scalar int64 — number of optimizer updates applied ".cuda_rng_state" / ".cpu_rng_state" "opt_state/..." flattened optimizer PyTree (Adam moments, step counts) This tool rebuilds a standard HF model directory from one such checkpoint: model skeleton from --init-model (the HF dir training started from), weights from the DCP checkpoint (optimizer/RNG entries stripped), saved fp32 via save_pretrained, tokenizer files copied from the init dir. The result loads with plain AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained — no bergson required. Step semantics (bergson `Trainer.train`): `step_N.ckpt` is saved BEFORE step N runs, so it holds the state after exactly N optimizer updates. step_0 is the untrained init; the state bergson's "Baseline loss" is computed at is ONE update past the last saved checkpoint (see tools/README.md). By default the export fails if the weights are identical to --init-model (catches pointing --ckpt at the wrong run). Pass --allow-identical when exporting step_0.ckpt, which legitimately equals the init model.
