# Dino for Multitask

## Overview

Working implementation of **Dino** for **Multitask** using a **tiny** configuration. The repository focuses on transparent code and repeatable smoke tests; benchmark claims are deliberately omitted.

---

## Acknowledgments

This repo borrows ideas freely from public reference implementations; credit to their authors.

---

## Repository Status

- Single-file implementation; the `__main__` block runs a smoke test.
- `config.json` and `training_args.json` hold the generated settings.
- `model.safetensors` is freshly initialized — plumbing, not results.
- No benchmark numbers are reported on purpose.

---

## Limitations

- weights are random-init, so outputs carry no signal
- robustness, fairness and domain transfer are untested
- the API may change without notice while the design settles

---

## Environment

| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Python | >= 3.9 |
| torch | 2.x |
| safetensors | any recent |
| transformers | optional, for loaders |

---

## Default Experiment Recipe

The generated recipe uses lion with a step schedule.

These values exist so the script runs end-to-end. A meaningful experiment needs its own tuning budget and at least three seeds.

---

## Quick Check

Run `python train.py --help` for the built-in smoke test. Because this is a custom implementation, generic automatic loading APIs require an explicit adapter before use.
