pre-reasoning 2.5.3

3M-parameter neural pre-reasoning engine for grounding LLMs before they answer.

Pre-Reasoning

Pre-Reasoning is a Mia Labs structural analysis engine that grounds an LLM before it answers. It uses a 3M-parameter neural model to surface dependencies, root blockers, unlock order, parallel work, cycles, and conflicts from problem text.

The engine ships with bundled safetensors weights and torch -- install and run, no downloads needed.

What It Does

Given natural-language problem text, the engine returns:

• ROOT BLOCKERS: what must be resolved first
• UNLOCK SEQUENCE: a dependency-aware resolution order
• PARALLEL WORK: independent items that can proceed now
• CYCLES: circular dependencies that cannot be solved sequentially
• CONFLICTS: competing positions or incompatible entities
• REQUIREMENTS: numeric or threshold requirements

Install

pip install pre-reasoning

For local development from this repo:

pip install -e .

Python Usage

from pre_reasoning import analyze, pulse

result = analyze("Frontend depends on API. API depends on Auth.")
print(result["trace"])

check = pulse(
    "Frontend depends on API. API depends on Auth.",
    "Fix Auth first, then verify the API before frontend work."
)
print(check["status"])

CLI Usage

pre-reasoning "A depends on B. B depends on C."
pre-reasoning --json "CTO conflicts with senior dev."
pre-reasoning --info

To use a different weights file, set PRE_REASONING_CHECKPOINT=/path/to/weights.safetensors or pass --checkpoint.

Results

Early comparison table, illustrative, n=5 architectural decision problems:

Comparison	Illustrative result, n=5
9B + trace vs 32B baseline	3W 2T 0L
9B + trace vs 120B baseline	4W 1T 0L
120B + trace vs 120B baseline	3W 2T 0L

These are product-research notes, not benchmark claims.

Weights Policy

The raw training checkpoint is not part of the release. The package bundles pre_reasoning/checkpoints/pre-reasoning-3m-v2.5.safetensors, a weights-only inference artifact. It ships no training metadata: no optimizer state, LR schedules, step counters, RNG state, training config, or raw checkpoint provenance.
