💡 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-trainis an independent project engineered by the AMEVA team. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by PyTorch, Meta, or the Termux project.

🧠 Core Features & Modern Architecture
| Feature | Description | Mobile Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Pure Python Autograd | Zero-dependency dynamic computation graph with reverse-mode DAG | Runs everywhere, no compilation required |
| NumPy Tier-2 Engine | C-vectorized BLAS acceleration for Matmul, CrossEntropy, Softmax | $10\times \sim 100\times$ faster on ARM CPUs |
| Native RoPE | Rotary Position Embedding with $O(0)$ learnable parameters | Infinite context extrapolation without memory bloat |
| On-Device LoRA | Parameter-efficient fine-tuning ($A \times B$ low-rank decomposition) | Fine-tune models with $99.9%$ smaller adapter files (<100KB) |
| SafeTensors Binary | HuggingFace-compatible zero-copy serialization format | $5\times \sim 10\times$ faster checkpoints, eliminates LMK crash |
| INT8 Quantization | Symmetric AbsMax dynamic weight quantization | Zero-allocation matrix scaling, $75%$ RAM reduction |
| MMap Streaming | Streaming token sequence dataset directly from disk via mmap |
Train on datasets larger than physical mobile RAM |
⚡ 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")
