TensorCode builds trainable Python programs from callable operations and small tools that own their models. You compose encoders, scorers and decoders (tensorcode.ops), or use a complete tool such as Investigator, Planner or Chatbot (tensorcode.tools). You collect reviewed feedback with explicit provenance, train with PyTorch, and save everything as a data-only artifact that reloads in a fresh process or from the Hugging Face Hub. Tracing records which operation produced which value, so supervised local tensor paths can be replayed and trained. It does not make arbitrary Python or remote model calls differentiable.

Status: 0.4.0 alpha. APIs may change between alphas. The core package has no dependencies and importing it does not import PyTorch or touch the network. Measured behavior and its limits are in validation. Consistent benefits of the learned cognitive workspace are not yet established.

Install

Python 3.11+:

python -m pip install 'tensorcode[tools]'

From a checkout, use python -m pip install -e '.[tools]'. Choose the extras for the interfaces you use:

30-second example

This trains an Investigator to rank two supplied hypotheses from log evidence. It saves the model and reloads it. It runs offline on CPU in a few seconds.

import torch
from tensorcode import training
from tensorcode.tools.investigator import Investigator

torch.manual_seed(0)
model = Investigator({"vocabulary": ["database", "network", "connection", "refused", "packet", "loss"],
                      "dimensions": 16, "slots": 2, "steps": 1})
trainer = training.Trainer.from_tool(model, optimizer=torch.optim.AdamW(model.parameters(), lr=0.01))

hypotheses = [{"id": "database", "text": "database connection refused"},
              {"id": "network", "text": "network packet loss"}]

def case(log_line):
    return {"question": "which component failed",
            "evidence": [{"source_id": "log:1", "text": log_line}],
            "hypotheses": hypotheses}

# Reviewed feedback, with explicit provenance, becomes training experience.
experiences = [trainer.capture(case("connection refused"), "database", source="review:1"),
               trainer.capture(case("packet loss"), "network", source="review:2")]
losses = trainer.fit(experiences, epochs=30)

model.save_pretrained("./investigator")
restored = Investigator.from_pretrained("./investigator")
print(restored(case("packet loss"))["selected_id"])  # network

Two authored cases show the lifecycle. They do not show that the model can investigate anything. The result also includes every candidate's score and the source-linked evidence. Probabilities are uncalibrated. The quickstart extends this to persisted experience files, resumable training checkpoints and loading in a fresh process.

What is inside

• tensorcode.ops.vec, ops.text, ops.graph: operations with one calling convention, op(value, *, context=None). Operations are built from JSON configuration, and learned vector operations own their weights. Text operations wrap an owned seq2seq model or an explicit external provider. Graph operations are reserved symbolic interfaces that raise NotImplementedError.
• tensorcode.tools: Chatbot, Investigator, Decision, Planner and Scene, complete trainable models with save_pretrained / from_pretrained.
• tensorcode.trace() and tensorcode.training: dependency capture, explicit supervision, Trainer.from_tool / Trainer.from_ops, portable experience and complete checkpoints.
• tensorcode.integrations: explicit adapters for OpenAI-compatible endpoints, local Transformers models and Jev.

Generated hypotheses are not evidence, and generated plans are not executable code. Evidence, policies and actions stay explicit in your code.

Guides

• Quickstart: a runnable offline training lifecycle.
• Developer documentation: operation and model contracts.
• Pretrained checkpoints: hosted tools and their measured scope. All eight hosted checkpoints load at main with this release. The two Chatbots and the cognitive Investigator were retrained for the bounded workspace update; their earlier revisions stay pinned for source commit 6607a8b.
• Evidence and cognition: hypotheses, revisions, memory and outcome feedback.
• Training: tracing, replay and resumable checkpoints.
• Examples: learning agents and practical applications.
• Validation: measured behavior and limitations.
• Updating development code: import changes since earlier alphas.

Development

python -m pip install -e '.[tools,diffusion,dev]'
python -m pytest -q
python -m build

Library code lives in src/tensorcode. See the test guide for how the suite is organized. This alpha API replaces the former provider-owned tools, and there is no legacy compatibility layer. MIT license.
