💡 What is termux-train?

termux-train (also known as AMEVA-Termux) is a lightweight, self-contained deep learning and automatic differentiation (Autograd) training engine built specifically for Android Termux native environments and resource-constrained edge devices.

While standard mobile ML frameworks (TFLite, ONNX Runtime Mobile, ExecuTorch, NCNN) only support inference, termux-train enables full on-device training, backpropagation, RoPE Transformers, and LoRA fine-tuning directly on smartphone hardware without requiring heavy PyTorch binaries or PRoot container virtualization.

⚠️ Disclaimer: termux-train is an independent project engineered by the AMEVA team. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by PyTorch, Meta, or the Termux project.

⚡ 10-Line Code Examples

A. Autograd & Tensor Math

from termux_train import Tensor, set_backend

# Pluggable backend (auto / numpy / python)
set_backend("auto")

x = Tensor([[1.0, 2.0], [3.0, 4.0]], requires_grad=True)
w = Tensor([[2.0], [1.0]], requires_grad=True)

y = x @ w
loss = (y * y).mean()
loss.backward()

print("x.grad:\n", x.grad)
print("w.grad:\n", w.grad)

B. Tiny Transformer LM with RoPE & KV Caching

from termux_train import Tensor, nn

# Modern Decoder-Only Transformer with Native RoPE
model = nn.TinyTransformerLM(
    vocab_size=100,
    d_model=32,
    num_heads=4,
    d_ff=64,
    num_layers=2,
    pos_type="rope",       # O(0) positional embedding parameters
    tie_weights=True       # Shares token embeddings with LM head
)

# Fast autoregressive generation with incremental KV cache
prompt = [1, 5, 12]
generated = model.generate(prompt, max_new_tokens=20, temperature=0.7, top_p=0.9)
print("Generated Tokens:", generated)

C. Lightweight LoRA Adapter Serialization (<100KB)

from termux_train import nn, checkpoint

# 1. Base Model & LoRA Injection
base = nn.Sequential(nn.Linear(32, 64), nn.ReLU(), nn.Linear(64, 10))
student = nn.Sequential(
    nn.LoRALinear.from_linear(base[0], rank=4, alpha=8.0),
    nn.ReLU(),
    nn.LoRALinear.from_linear(base[2], rank=4, alpha=8.0),
)

# 2. Save ONLY the adapter weights in SafeTensors format (<100KB)
checkpoint.save_lora_adapter(student, "lora_adapter.safetensors", adapter_name="my_lora_v1")

# 3. Load adapter into fresh model in another session
checkpoint.load_lora_adapter(student, "lora_adapter.safetensors")
