# ICS checkpoints

Checkpoints for ICS (Input-Conditioned Search; code: https://github.com/icsearch/ICS) and the baselines.

Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2610.18547 · Project page: https://icsearch.github.io

## Layout

`<model>/<task>/seed<k>/` holds `config.json` and `model.safetensors`.

## Loading

```python
from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download

root = snapshot_download(repo_id="hcshi/ICS", allow_patterns="trm/maze/seed0/*")
```

With the code installed, `python -m ics download --model trm --task maze --seed 0` writes the same folder to
`ckpt/trm/maze/seed0`.
