2. RuvLTRA Enhancements

2.1 SONA Learning Hooks

Hook Placement Strategy:

Layer 0-7:    No hooks (early token processing)
Layer 8:      ✓ HOOK - Early pattern recognition
Layer 9-15:   No hooks
Layer 16:     ✓ HOOK - Mid-layer semantic extraction
Layer 17-23:  No hooks
Layer 24:     ✓ HOOK - Deep reasoning capture
Layer 25-31:  No hooks (final refinement)

Hook Implementation:

pub struct RuvLtraMediumDecoderLayer {
    // ... layer components ...
    pub has_sona_hook: bool,
}

impl RuvLtraMediumDecoderLayer {
    pub fn forward(
        &self,
        hidden_states: &[f32],
        positions: &[usize],
        paged_cache: Option<&mut PagedKVCache>,
        sona: Option<&Arc<RwLock<SonaIntegration>>>,
    ) -> Result<Vec<f32>> {
        // ... attention computation ...

        // Apply SONA hook after attention
        let attn_out = if self.has_sona_hook {
            if let Some(sona_int) = sona {
                self.apply_sona_hook(&attn_out, sona_int)?
            } else {
                attn_out
            }
        } else {
            attn_out
        };

        // ... continue with MLP ...
    }
}

SONA Learning Loops:

  1. Instant Loop (per request):

    • MicroLoRA adaptation (rank 4)
    • Ring buffer storage
    • Edge weight updates
    • Latency: <0.05ms

  2. Background Loop (hourly):

    • Router training
    • EWC++ Fisher matrix
    • BaseLoRA consolidation (rank 8)
    • Pattern indexing

  3. Deep Loop (weekly):

    • Pattern bank pruning
    • Memory consolidation
    • Knowledge transfer
    • Quality filtering (threshold 0.6)

2.2 HNSW Routing Integration

Index Structure:

HNSW Index:
├── M = 16 (base), 32 (agent variant)
├── ef_construction = 200 (base), 400 (agent)
├── ef_search = 50
├── Distance metric: Cosine similarity
└── Node capacity: 50,000 patterns

Search Performance:

Dataset Size Brute Force HNSW Speedup
1,000 0.8ms 0.005ms 160x
10,000 8.2ms 0.012ms 683x
50,000 41.5ms 0.018ms 2,305x
100,000 83.1ms 0.021ms 3,957x

Claude Flow Integration:

// Agent routing via HNSW
let task_embedding = model.embed("Implement REST API")?;
let neighbors = hnsw_index.search(&task_embedding, k=5)?;

// Neighbors: [(agent_type, similarity_score)]
// [("coder", 0.92), ("backend-dev", 0.87), ...]

2.3 ReasoningBank Trajectory Storage

Trajectory Format:

{
  "trajectory_id": "uuid-v4",
  "task": "code-generation",
  "states": [
    {
      "layer": 8,
      "embedding": [0.123, -0.456, ...],
      "timestamp": 1234567890
    },
    {
      "layer": 16,
      "embedding": [0.789, 0.234, ...],
      "timestamp": 1234567891
    }
  ],
  "actions": [
    {
      "action": "generate_function",
      "quality": 0.85
    }
  ],
  "final_quality": 0.87,
  "metadata": {
    "agent": "coder",
    "tokens": 256
  }
}

Storage Backend:

  • AgentDB with HNSW indexing
  • Semantic search via embeddings
  • Quality-based filtering
  • Temporal decay (old patterns degrade)

3. Memory Optimization

3.1 Paged KV Cache

Page Structure:

pub struct PageBlock {
    pub block_id: usize,
    pub keys: Vec<f32>,    // [page_size, num_kv_heads, head_dim]
    pub values: Vec<f32>,  // [page_size, num_kv_heads, head_dim]
    pub num_tokens: usize,
    pub ref_count: AtomicUsize,
}

Block Size: 64 tokens per page

Memory Layout:

Sequence: "The quick brown fox..."
├── Page 0 [tokens 0-63]:    Block #42
├── Page 1 [tokens 64-127]:  Block #103
├── Page 2 [tokens 128-191]: Block #87
└── ...

Benefits:

  • Memory Savings: 40-60% reduction
  • Dynamic Allocation: On-demand page allocation
  • Copy-on-Write: Efficient sequence forking
  • Prefix Caching: Shared prefixes use same blocks

Configuration:

pub struct PagedAttentionConfig {
    pub page_size: 64,              // Tokens per page
    pub max_pages_per_sequence: 512, // 32K tokens / 64
    pub page_table_capacity: 8192,   // Total blocks
    pub num_heads: 16,
    pub head_dim: 128,
    pub num_kv_heads: 2,
}

3.2 Flash Attention 2

Algorithm:

  1. Tiling: Split Q, K, V into blocks
  2. Streaming: Load blocks from HBM to SRAM
  3. Recomputation: Compute softmax on-the-fly
  4. IO Efficiency: Minimize memory transfers

Speedup Analysis:

Seq Length Standard Flash Attn 2 Speedup Memory
512 45ms 18ms 2.5x -30%
2K 180ms 43ms 4.2x -50%
8K 720ms 103ms 7.0x -65%
32K 2880ms 407ms 7.1x -70%

Implementation:

fn flash_attention(&self, query: &[f32], key: &[f32], value: &[f32], seq_len: usize)
    -> Result<Vec<f32>>
{
    let scale = 1.0 / (self.config.head_dim as f32).sqrt();

    for h in 0..num_heads {
        for t in 0..seq_len {
            // Extract Q slice
            let q_slice = &query[q_offset..q_offset + head_dim];

            // Extract K, V slices (GQA mapping)
            let kv_head = h / gqa_ratio;
            let k_slice = extract_kv(key, kv_head, seq_len);
            let v_slice = extract_kv(value, kv_head, seq_len);

            // Flash attention kernel (NEON optimized)
            let head_out = flash_attention_neon(q_slice, &k_slice, &v_slice, scale, causal=true);

            // Write output
            output[out_offset..out_offset + head_dim].copy_from_slice(&head_out);
        }
    }
}

3.3 Speculative Decoding

Draft Model: RuvLTRA-Small (0.5B, Qwen 0.5B)

Algorithm:

1. Draft Phase:
   Generate K=4 tokens with draft model (fast)
   Tokens: [t1, t2, t3, t4]

2. Verify Phase:
   Run main model on [context, t1, t2, t3, t4] in parallel
   Get probabilities: [p1, p2, p3, p4]

3. Accept/Reject:
   For i in 1..K:
     if p_main[i] >= p_draft[i] * acceptance_threshold:
       accept token i
     else:
       reject token i and all subsequent
       sample correct token from p_main[i]
       break

4. Effective tokens per step:
   Average: 1 + acceptance_rate * K
   With 70% acceptance and K=4: 1 + 0.7*4 = 3.8 tokens/step

Configuration:

pub struct SpeculativeConfig {
    pub lookahead: 4,              // K tokens
    pub acceptance_threshold: 0.7,  // 70% confidence
    pub draft_temperature: 0.0,     // Greedy draft
    pub adaptive_lookahead: true,   // Adjust K based on acceptance
    pub min_lookahead: 2,
    pub max_lookahead: 8,
}

Expected Speedup:

Scenario Acceptance Rate Speedup
Greedy (T=0.0) 75% 2.8-3.2x
Low temp (T=0.5) 60% 2.2-2.6x
High temp (T=1.0) 40% 1.5-1.8x
