trainkit-vp 2.3.4

Typed PyTorch training utilities for checkpoints, scheduling, freezing, memory planning, and structured losses.

trainkit-vp

trainkit-vp collects typed training utilities for PyTorch projects: checkpointing, staged freezing, loss aggregation, scheduler setup, and memory planning.

PyPI package name:

pip install trainkit-vp

Import name:

import trainkit

The package is intentionally generic. It is not tied to a single model family, and it is useful both in research code and in reusable application packages.

What is included

trainkit-vp currently provides:

• checkpoint save/load helpers
• staged freezing helpers for hierarchical models
• a structured multi-level sequence loss
• cosine warmup scheduling
• accelerator-aware memory estimation and batch-size planning

Installation

Requirements:

• Python >=3.14
• PyTorch >=2.0

Install from PyPI:

pip install trainkit-vp

Checkpoint helpers

Public functions:

• save_checkpoint
• load_checkpoint

These wrap torch.save and torch.load behind a typed, small surface that downstream packages can standardize around.

Typical usage:

from pathlib import Path

from trainkit import load_checkpoint, save_checkpoint

payload = {
    "epoch": 3,
    "model_state": model.state_dict(),
    "optimizer_state": optimizer.state_dict(),
}

path = Path("artifacts/best.pt")
save_checkpoint(path, payload)
restored = load_checkpoint(path)

Freezing helpers

Public functions:

• set_requires_grad
• freeze_stages

set_requires_grad is a simple utility for enabling or disabling training on a module.

freeze_stages is aimed at hierarchical setups. In the current code it knows how to freeze universal, family, language, or joint stages for a model exposing a CELMoE-style level_modules layout.

That makes it useful for:

• staged pretraining
• late unfreezing
• expert specialization phases

Multi-level sequence loss

The main structured loss class is MultiLevelSequenceLoss.

It expects a model output dictionary containing:

• logits
• universal_logits
• family_logits
• language_logits

It returns a LossBreakdown dataclass with:

• total
• final
• universal
• family
• language

Example:

from chartoken import PAD
from trainkit import MultiLevelSequenceLoss

criterion = MultiLevelSequenceLoss(
    pad_id=PAD,
    final_weight=1.0,
    universal_weight=0.25,
    family_weight=0.35,
    language_weight=0.5,
)

breakdown = criterion(output, target_ids)
print(breakdown.total)
print(breakdown.as_scalars())

Scheduler helper

create_cosine_schedule builds a linear-warmup cosine-decay schedule on top of torch.optim.lr_scheduler.LambdaLR.

Example:

from trainkit import create_cosine_schedule

scheduler = create_cosine_schedule(
    optimizer,
    warmup_steps=500,
    total_steps=12000,
)

Memory planning utilities

Public functions:

• format_bytes
• detect_memory
• estimate_model_memory
• estimate_training_vram
• suggest_batch_size
• plan_training

Main dataclasses:

• MemoryProfile
• TrainingPlan

These helpers are intended for early experiment planning rather than exact runtime accounting. They give fast estimates for:

• available system RAM
• available accelerator memory
• approximate model memory footprint
• approximate training VRAM requirements
• a suggested batch size

The implementation includes typed wrappers around CUDA, XPU, and MPS memory queries so static analyzers remain happy in strict mode.

Example workflow

from trainkit import detect_memory, plan_training

profile = detect_memory()
plan = plan_training(
    model,
    sequence_length=96,
    batch_size=64,
    optimizer_states_factor=2.0,
)

print(profile)
print(plan)

Scope boundaries

trainkit-vp does not define:

• your model architecture
• your dataset format
• your optimizer choice
• distributed training logic

Instead it provides small, reliable pieces that application packages can compose however they want.

Why publish it separately

Separating training utilities into their own package keeps:

• model packages smaller
• checkpoint format decisions reusable
• type contracts stable across projects
• experimentation code less duplicated

In this repository that matters because libraries are published independently and should remain usable outside morphoformer.
