API Reference#

This reference is generated from source docstrings and grouped by workflow. Use World Models Study Guide for conceptual explanations and this page for exact classes, functions, and module-level APIs.

Public package surface#

These modules expose the most common imports and lazy constructors.

Use synora for common workflows:

import synora
agent = synora.create_model("dreamer", env="walker-walk")

Primary modules: synora, synora.models, synora.configs, synora.catalog, and synora.envs.

Synora public API.

This package keeps imports lightweight while still exposing a friendly top-level surface. Common workflows can use the small factory helpers:

import synora

cfg = synora.create_config("dreamer", env="walker-walk")
agent = synora.create_model("dreamer", cfg)
env = synora.make_env("CartPole-v1", backend="gym")

Lower-level research components remain available as lazy top-level exports, for example from synora import DreamerAgent, ConvEncoder, ReplayBuffer, and every implementation submodule is reachable directly:

from synora.models import Dreamer
from synora.training.eval_jepa import jepa_linear_probe
import synora.envs

Load an exported artifact back as a callable.

Parameters:
  • path (str | Path) – Artifact written by export_model().

  • format (str | None) – Its export format. Inferred from the suffix when omitted, with .pt2 read as exported_program; pass "aoti" for AOTInductor packages, which share the suffix.

  • device (device | str | None) – Device to move an ExportedProgram or TorchScript module to.

Return type:

Callable[[…], Any]

ONNX artifacts run through ONNX Runtime (optional dependency); the returned callable takes and returns tensors like the other formats.

synora.verify_export(module, exported, example_inputs, *, format=None, atol=0.0001, rtol=0.0001)[source]

exported is an artifact path (loaded with load_exported()) or an already-loaded callable. Returns the largest absolute difference over all tensor outputs, and raises AssertionError if any output falls outside atol/rtol. For recurrent models also check closed-loop drift with synora.inference.rollout_drift(): one matching step does not rule out error that compounds over a rollout.

forward_actor_critic(frames, hidden=None)[source]

Forward pass through actor-critic.

Parameters:
  • frames (Tensor) – Input frames (B, T, C, H, W)

  • hidden (Tuple[Tensor, Tensor] | None) – Optional LSTM hidden state

Returns:

(B, T, action_size) values: (B, T) hidden_state: (h, c)

Return type:

action_logits

act(frame, epsilon=0.0, temperature=1.0, hidden=None, return_hidden=False)[source]

Sample action from policy.

The policy is recurrent (paper A.3: CNN -> LSTM). Callers stepping an episode must thread hidden from one call to the next and reset it on episode boundaries; dropping it makes the policy effectively memoryless, which for games like Pong removes any way to infer the ball’s direction from a single frame.

Parameters:
  • frame (Tensor) – Single frame (B, C, H, W)

  • epsilon (float) – Random action probability

  • temperature (float) – Action distribution temperature

  • hidden (Tuple[Tensor, Tensor] | None) – LSTM state from the previous step, or None to start fresh

  • return_hidden (bool) – If True, also return the updated LSTM state

Returns:

Selected actions (B,), and the updated LSTM state when return_hidden is set.

Return type:

actions

burn_in(frames)[source]

Initialise the LSTM state by replaying preceding frames.

Paper A.3: “Before starting the imagination procedure from a given frame, we burn-in the 20 previous frames to initialize the hidden state” (Kapturowski et al., 2019). Without this the rollout begins from a zero state that the policy never sees at collection time.

Parameters:

frames (Tensor) – Preceding observations (B, T_burn, C, H, W), already in the reconstruction domain the policy is trained on.

Returns:

The LSTM state after the burn-in, or None if no frames were given.

Return type:

Tuple[Tensor, Tensor] | None

transform_reward(rewards)[source]

Apply the configured reward transform.

Atari rewards are unbounded integers – in the thousands for games like Krull or UpNDown – and feeding them raw into the value function and lambda-return makes the critic’s target scale game-dependent. The standard Atari convention, which IRIS follows, is to take the sign.

Parameters:

rewards (Tensor)

Return type:

Tensor

reconstruct(frames)[source]

Pass frames through the discrete autoencoder: D(E(x)).

Paper A.1: “during experience collection in the real environment, frames still go through the autoencoder to keep the input distribution of the policy unchanged”. The policy only ever learns from reconstructions during imagination, so feeding it raw frames in the real environment is a distribution shift.

The encoder is forced into eval mode for the duration. This is not cosmetic: the quantizer’s dead-code revival only runs in training mode, and this method is called on single frames during experience collection and evaluation, when the agent is still in training mode. Leaving it there re-seeds most of the codebook from the 16 encoder outputs of one frame on every environment step, destroying the vocabulary the world model is being trained against.

Parameters:

frames (Tensor) – Real observations (B, C, H, W) or (B, T, C, H, W) in [0, 1].

Returns:

Reconstructions with the same shape, clamped to [0, 1].

Return type:

Tensor

imagine_rollout(initial_frame, horizon=20, burn_in_frames=None, sample_tokens=True, temperature=1.0, stop_on_termination=True)[source]

Generate imagined trajectories using the world model.

Implements the imagination MDP of paper 2.3 / Figure 1: starting from a real observation, the policy acts on decoded frames while the Transformer rolls the dynamics forward, conditioned on the full imagined history.

Parameters:
  • initial_frame (Tensor) – Starting frame x_0 (B, C, H, W), in [0, 1].

  • horizon (int) – Number of steps H to imagine.

  • burn_in_frames (Tensor | None) – The (B, T_burn, C, H, W) reconstructed observations preceding initial_frame, used to initialise the policy’s LSTM state (paper A.3). None starts from a zero state.

  • sample_tokens (bool) – Sample next-frame tokens instead of taking the argmax.

  • temperature (float) – Sampling temperature for token generation.

  • stop_on_termination (bool) – Cut the rollout short once every trajectory in the batch has hit a predicted episode end (paper 2.3). Set False to always return exactly horizon steps; correctness does not depend on it, since continues already zeroes the discount past a termination.

Returns:

dict with frames (B, T+1, C, H, W), actions (B, T), rewards (B, T) and continues (B, T). T may be shorter than horizon if every rollout predicted an episode end.

Return type:

trajectory

update_autoencoder(frames)[source]

frames (Tensor) – Training frames (B, C, H, W)

class synora.IRISTransformer(vocab_size=512, tokens_per_frame=16, action_size=18, embed_dim=256, num_layers=10, num_heads=4, dropout=0.1, gradient_checkpointing=False, reward_classes=3)[source]

Bases: ExportableAgentMixin, Module

GPT-like autoregressive Transformer for world modeling.

Models the dynamics of the environment by predicting, autoregressively over an interleaved sequence of frame tokens and actions:

  • Next frame tokens (transition model), one token at a time

  • Rewards

  • Episode termination

The sequence layout for S frames and S - 1 actions is:

z_0^1 ... z_0^K, a_0, z_1^1 ... z_1^K, a_1, ..., z_{S-2}^1 ... z_{S-2}^K,
a_{S-2}, z_{S-1}^1 ... z_{S-1}^K

A causal (lower-triangular) attention mask is always applied, so every position only attends to itself and preceding positions. The tokens of frame t + 1 are predicted starting from the action position a_t (which sees the whole of frame t and the action), then autoregressively from each previously predicted token of frame t + 1. This matches the paper’s

z_{t+1}^k ~ p(. | z_{<=t}, a_{<=t}, z_{t+1}^{<k})

Parameters:
  • vocab_size (int)

  • tokens_per_frame (int)

  • action_size (int)

  • embed_dim (int)

  • num_layers (int)

  • num_heads (int)

  • dropout (float)

  • gradient_checkpointing (bool)

  • reward_classes (int)

expected_reward(action_hidden)[source]

Scalar reward prediction from an action-position hidden state.

With a categorical head this is the expectation under the predicted distribution over {-1, 0, +1} rather than an argmax, so the imagined return reflects the model’s uncertainty instead of committing to the modal class.

Parameters:

action_hidden (Tensor) – (…, embed_dim) hidden states at action positions.

Returns:

(…) scalar reward predictions.

Return type:

Tensor

gpt_blocks()[source]

The transformer blocks, typed (nn.ModuleList erases the element type).

Return type:

List[GPTBlock]

forward(tokens, actions)[source]

Teacher-forced forward pass through the Transformer world model.

Parameters:
  • tokens (Tensor) – Frame tokens (B, S, K) for S consecutive frames.

  • actions (Tensor) – Actions (B, S-1); actions[:, t] is taken after frame t.

Returns:

Predictions of frames 1..S-1 (B, S-1, K, vocab_size). rewards: Predicted rewards r_0..r_{S-2} (B, S-1). terminations: Predicted terminations d_0..d_{S-2} (B, S-1, 2).

Return type:

token_logits

init_cache(batch_size, device, dtype=None)[source]

Allocate an empty KV cache sized to this model’s context capacity.

Parameters:
  • batch_size (int)

  • device (device)

  • dtype (dtype | None)

Return type:

KVCache

prime_cache(tokens, actions, cache, start_pos=0)[source]

Fill a cache with an interleaved (frame, action) history in one pass.

This is the “conditioning” phase of imagination: the real frames (and the actions taken between them) are pushed through the model so that subsequent single-position steps attend to the full history, exactly as the teacher-forced training sequence does.

Parameters:
  • tokens (Tensor) – Frame token grids (B, Tc, K).

  • actions (Tensor | None) – Actions following each frame. Pass Tc actions to end the primed sequence on an action (ready to generate the next frame), or Tc - 1 / None to end on the last frame’s tokens.

  • cache (KVCache) – Cache to fill; must be empty or positioned at start_pos.

  • start_pos (int) – Absolute position of the first embedded token.

Returns:

The absolute position just past the primed sequence.

Return type:

int

generate_frame_cached(action, cache, start_pos, sample=True, temperature=1.0)[source]

Generate one frame’s K tokens incrementally, one position at a time.

The cache must already hold the history up to and including the current frame’s tokens. This appends the action, reads the reward/termination hidden state from that position, then autoregressively appends the K - 1 predicted tokens – K single-position forwards in total, rather than K full-sequence passes.

Returns:

Per-token logits (B, K, vocab). generated: Token indices (B, K). action_hidden: Hidden state at the action position (B, E). next_pos: Absolute position after the generated frame’s tokens.

Return type:

step_logits

Parameters:

Returns:

Generated token indices (B, K). action_hidden: Hidden state at the action position (B, embed_dim),

the input expected by reward_head / termination_head.

Return type:

sample_next_tokens(tokens, actions, temperature=1.0)[source]

Sample next tokens autoregressively from the distribution.

Parameters:
  • tokens (Tensor) – Current frame tokens (B, K) or (B, H, W).

  • actions (Tensor) – Actions taken (B,).

  • temperature (float) – Sampling temperature (higher = more random).

class synora.IRISWorldModel(encoder, decoder, transformer)[source]

Bases: ExportableAgentMixin, Module

Complete IRIS World Model combining autoencoder and transformer.

This is the core component that learns environment dynamics entirely in the “imaginary” latent space.

Parameters:
decode_tokens(indices)[source]

Decode token indices (B, K) or (B, H, W) to images.

The lookup goes through the encoder’s quantizer codebook, which is the table the reconstruction and commitment losses actually train. IRISDecoder.index_to_embedding is a separate, never-optimised embedding table, so decoding through it returns noise.

Parameters:

indices (Tensor)

Return type:

Tensor

forward(observations, actions)[source]

Full world model forward pass.

Parameters:
  • observations (Tensor) – Image sequence (B, T+1, C, H, W)

  • actions (Tensor) – Actions (B, T)

Returns:

Dictionary with predicted tokens, rewards, terminations losses: Dictionary with loss components

Return type:

predictions

imagine(initial_tokens, policy, horizon=20, temperature=1.0)[source]

Generate imagined trajectories.

Parameters:
  • initial_tokens (Tensor) – Initial frame tokens (B, K)

  • policy (Module) – Policy network to sample actions

class synora.LPIPSPerceptualLoss(num_blocks=5, use_batch_norm=False, linear_weights=None)[source]

Bases: ExportableAgentMixin, Module

LPIPS-structured perceptual distance over VGG16 features.

Pipeline, following Zhang et al. (2018) as used by VQGAN:

  1. Map inputs from [0, 1] to [-1, 1] and apply LPIPS’s fixed per-channel shift/scale (this is not ImageNet mean/std – LPIPS uses its own calibration).

  2. Extract features at the end of each VGG16 conv block.

  3. Unit-normalise each feature vector across channels, so no single block’s activation magnitude dominates the sum.

  4. Square the difference, weight per channel with a 1x1 linear layer, then average spatially and sum over blocks.

Parameters:
  • num_blocks (int) – How many VGG16 conv blocks to compare (1-5). LPIPS uses 5.

  • use_batch_norm (bool) – Load vgg16_bn instead of vgg16.

  • linear_weights (str | Path | None) – Path to LPIPS learned linear weights (the lin*.model /vgg.pth state dict from the reference implementation). When None or unloadable, uniform weights are used and has_learned_weights stays False.

Variables:

has_learned_weights – Whether the calibrated LPIPS linear weights were loaded. False means this is the unweighted VGG-feature variant.

train(mode=True)[source]

Keep the frozen backbone in eval mode regardless of the parent’s mode.

Parameters:

mode (bool)

Return type:

LPIPSPerceptualLoss

forward(x, y)[source]

Perceptual distance between two batches of images in [0, 1].

Parameters:
  • x (Tensor) – Images (B, 3, H, W), typically the ground-truth frames.

  • y (Tensor) – Images (B, 3, H, W), typically the reconstructions.

Returns:

Scalar loss, averaged over the batch and summed over blocks.

Return type:

Tensor

synora.build_perceptual_loss(enabled=True, num_blocks=5, linear_weights=None, download_weights=True)[source]

Build the perceptual loss, returning None if it cannot be constructed.

Loading VGG16 requires torchvision and, on first use, a weight download. When either is unavailable this returns None and logs a warning rather than failing training – the autoencoder then falls back to the L1 + commitment objective, which trains but reconstructs small sprites poorly.

vgg16 is tried first (the variant LPIPS is calibrated on), then vgg16_bn as a fallback since it is more often cached locally.

When linear_weights is not given, the reference LPIPS weights are looked up in the torch hub cache and fetched if missing, so the loss is calibrated LPIPS by default. Set download_weights=False to stay strictly offline.

Parameters:
  • enabled (bool)

  • num_blocks (int)

  • linear_weights (str | Path | None)

  • download_weights (bool)

Return type:

Module | None

Genie: Generative Interactive Environment.

A generative model trained from video-only data that can be used as an interactive environment. Contains three key components: 1. Video Tokenizer: Converts raw video frames into discrete tokens 2. Latent Action Model (LAM): Infers latent actions between frames 3. Dynamics Model: Predicts future frames given past frames and latent actions

Based on “Genie: Generative Interactive Environments” paper (arXiv:2402.15391).

Training follows two phases as per paper: 1. Train video tokenizer first (on video tokens) 2. Co-train LAM (from pixels) and dynamics model (on video tokens)

The LAM uses VQ-VAE training with: - Encoder: Takes x1:t and x_{t+1} → outputs latent actions - Decoder: Takes x1:t-1 (masked) + actions → reconstructs x_t - Auxiliary variance loss to prevent action collapse

At inference, latent actions are stopgrad’d when passed to dynamics model.

  • num_frames (int)

  • image_size (int)

class synora.RSSM(action_size, stoch_size, deter_size, hidden_size, obs_embed_size, activation)[source]

Bases: ExportableAgentMixin, Module

Recurrent State-Space Model used by Dreamer for latent dynamics learning.

The RSSM is the core world model component that learns compact representations of environment dynamics. It maintains a hybrid state consisting of:

  1. Deterministic State (h) – A recurrent hidden state updated by a GRU, capturing sequential/temporal information and deterministic transitions.

  2. Stochastic State (s) – A latent variable representing stochastic, multi-modal uncertainty in the environment (e.g., ambiguous observations).

The model operates in two modes:

  • Observe Mode – Updates states using actual observations from the environment. Uses the representation model: p(s_t | h_t, obs_t)

  • Imagine Mode – Predicts future states without observations. Uses the transition/prior model: p(s_t | h_t)

Architecture

  • Input: Previous state (h_{t-1}, s_{t-1}) and action a_{t-1}

  • Process: GRU updates deterministic state, MLP computes stochastic prior/posterior

  • Output: Updated state (h_t, s_t) and distributions

State Representation

  • deter (h): GRU hidden state, captures sequential context

  • stoch (s): Stochastic latent, multi-modal uncertainty

  • mean/std: Parameters of the stochastic distribution

Usage with DreamerAgent:

rssm = RSSM(
    action_size=action_dim,
    stoch_size=30,      # Stochastic state dimension
    deter_size=200,     # Deterministic (GRU) state dimension
    hidden_size=200,    # MLP hidden layer size
    obs_embed_size=256,  # Observation embedding from encoder
    activation='elu'
)

# Observe with actual observation
posterior, prior = rssm.observe_step(prev_state, prev_action, obs_embed)

# Imagine future without observation
prior = rssm.imagine_step(current_state, action)

Training

The RSSM is trained by maximizing the ELBO (Evidence Lower Bound):

  • KL divergence between prior and posterior encourages the prior to capture environment dynamics

  • Reconstruction loss from decoder ensures state captures observation info

Reference:

Dreamer: Scalable Reinforcement Learning Using World Models Hafner et al., 2020 - https://arxiv.org/abs/1912.01603

Parameters:
  • action_size (int)

  • stoch_size (int)

  • deter_size (int)

  • hidden_size (int)

  • obs_embed_size (int)

  • activation (str)

init_state(batch_size, device)[source]

Initialize RSSM state with zeros.

Parameters:
  • batch_size (int) – Number of parallel sequences

  • device (device) – torch device for tensors

Returns:

  • mean, std: Stochastic distribution parameters

  • stoch: Stochastic state sample

  • deter: Deterministic GRU hidden state

Return type:

Dictionary containing zero-initialized state components

get_dist(mean, std)[source]

Create an Independent Normal distribution from mean and std.

Parameters:
  • mean (Tensor) – Location parameter

  • std (Tensor) – Scale parameter

Returns:

Independent Normal distribution with given parameters

Return type:

Independent

observe_step(prev_state, prev_action, obs_embed, nonterm=tensor(1.), noise=None)[source]

Update state using actual observation (observe mode).

In observe mode, the RSSM first computes a transition prior from the previous state and action, then refines the stochastic state using the actual observation embedding to form the posterior.

Parameters:
  • prev_state (dict) – Dictionary with ‘deter’ (h_{t-1}) and ‘stoch’ (s_{t-1})

  • prev_action (Tensor) – Previous action a_{t-1}, shape (B, action_size)

  • obs_embed (Tensor) – Observation embedding from encoder, shape (B, obs_embed_size)

  • nonterm (Tensor) – Termination mask (1.0 = continue, 0.0 = terminal)

  • noise (Tuple[Tensor, Tensor] | None) – Optional (prior_noise, posterior_noise) standard-normal tensors of shape (B, stoch_size) used for the two samples instead of drawing them internally. Passing noise makes the step a pure function of its inputs, which exported graphs and eager-vs-exported parity checks need.

Returns:

A tuple (posterior, prior) of state dictionaries. The posterior incorporates observation information; the prior is the transition prediction before observation. Both share the same deterministic state because the GRU is only advanced once per timestep.

The order differs from observe_rollout() and from ModularRSSM.observe_step, which both return (prior, posterior). The dictionaries have identical keys, so a swapped unpacking fails silently: acting on the prior discards the current observation. It is kept for backward compatibility.

Return type:

Tuple[dict, dict]

imagine_step(prev_state, prev_action, nonterm=tensor(1.), noise=None)[source]

Predict next state without observation (imagine mode).

In imagine mode, the RSSM predicts future states using only the prior distribution. This is used for planning and policy learning where actual observations are not available.

Parameters:
  • prev_state (dict) – Dictionary with ‘deter’ (h_{t-1}) and ‘stoch’ (s_{t-1})

  • prev_action (Tensor) – Previous action a_{t-1}, shape (B, action_size)

  • nonterm (Tensor) – Termination mask (1.0 = continue, 0.0 = terminal)

  • noise (Tensor | None) – Optional standard-normal tensor (B, stoch_size) used for the stochastic sample instead of drawing one internally.

Returns:

  • deter: Predicted deterministic state

  • mean, std, stoch: Prior stochastic state distribution

Return type:

Dictionary with predicted state containing

observe_rollout(obs_embed, actions, nonterms, init_state, seq_len)[source]

Process a sequence of observations (observe mode rollout).

Returns the next deterministic state and the posterior latent.

By default the latent is the posterior mean. Pass sample=True to draw it from the posterior instead. mean is the old, inverted name for that flag (mean=True used to sample); it is still accepted with its old meaning so existing callers keep their behaviour.

synora.DreamerRSSM

alias of RSSM

class synora.ConvEncoder(input_shape, embed_size, activation, depth=32)[source]

Bases: ExportableAgentMixin, Module

Convolutional observation encoder used by Dreamer world models.

This encoder transforms raw image observations (typically RGB frames from environments like Atari or DeepMind Control) into compact latent embeddings that can be processed by the RSSM (Recurrent State-Space Model).

  • Input: (B, C, H, W) raw images, values in [-0.5, 0.5]

  • Process: 4 convolutional layers with stride 2, halving spatial dimensions

  • Output: (B, embed_size) compact representation

The encoder uses a depth doubling pattern: 32 -> 64 -> 128 -> 256 channels. After convolutions, a fully connected layer projects from 1024 features to the desired embedding size.

Usage with Dreamer:

encoder = ConvEncoder(
    input_shape=(3, 64, 64),  # RGB 64x64 images
    embed_size=256,           # RSSM observation embedding size
    activation='relu'         # Activation function
)
obs_embedding = encoder(observation)  # (B, 256)
Parameters:
  • input_shape (tuple) – Tuple (C, H, W) for input images, typically (3, 64, 64)

  • embed_size (int) – Output embedding dimension, typically 256 or 1024

  • activation (str) – Activation function name (‘relu’, ‘elu’, ‘tanh’, etc.)

  • depth (int) – Base channel depth for first layer (default 32)

class synora.ConvDecoder(stoch_size, deter_size, output_shape, activation, depth=32)[source]

Bases: ExportableAgentMixin, Module

Convolutional decoder for reconstructing observations from latent states.

Part of Dreamer’s world model, this decoder reconstructs image observations from the combined stochastic (s) and deterministic (h) RSSM states.

  • Input: Concatenated [stoch_state, deter_state], shape (B, stoch+deter)

  • Process: Dense projection + 4 transposed convolutions (upsampling 2x each)

  • Output: Independent Normal distribution over observation pixels

The decoder mirrors the ConvEncoder’s structure but in reverse (transposed convs instead of regular convs). This creates a symmetric autoencoder where the encoder and decoder can be trained jointly to learn compressed representations.

Returns torch.distributions.Independent(Normal(mean, std), len(shape)) allowing log_prob(observation) computation for reconstruction loss.

Usage in Dreamer world model:

decoder = ConvDecoder(
    stoch_size=30,
    deter_size=200,
    output_shape=(3, 64, 64),  # RGB images
    activation='relu'
)
obs_dist = decoder(latent_features)  # Returns distribution
log_prob = obs_dist.log_prob(target_observation)

The reconstruction loss is -log_prob(observation), which encourages the RSSM to learn states that capture observation information.

Parameters:
  • stoch_size (int)

  • deter_size (int)

  • output_shape (tuple[int, ...])

  • activation (str)

  • depth (int)

  • Input: [stoch_state, deter_state] concatenated, shape (B, stoch+deter)

  • Process: MLP with configurable layers and hidden units

  • Output: Predicted quantity with distribution (normal, binary, or raw)

Supports three output types: - 'normal': Gaussian distribution for regression (rewards, values) - 'binary': Bernoulli distribution for binary classification (discount) - 'none': Raw tensor for non-probabilistic outputs

Usage:

reward_decoder = DenseDecoder(
    stoch_size=30,
    deter_size=200,
    output_shape=(1,),
    n_layers=2,
    units=400,
    activation='elu',
    dist='normal'
)
reward_dist = reward_decoder(latent_features)
reward_loss = -reward_dist.log_prob(target_reward)

For discount prediction (binary):

class synora.ActionDecoder(action_size, stoch_size, deter_size, n_layers, units, activation, min_std=0.0001, init_std=5, mean_scale=5)[source]

Bases: ExportableAgentMixin, Module

Dreamer actor head producing squashed continuous actions from latent features.

Outputs a transformed Gaussian policy with optional deterministic mode and utility for additive exploration noise.

Parameters:
  • action_size (int)

  • stoch_size (int)

  • deter_size (int)

  • n_layers (int)

  • units (int)

  • activation (str)

  • min_std (float)

  • init_std (float)

  • mean_scale (float)

forward(features, deter=False)[source]
Parameters:
  • features (Tensor)

  • deter (bool)

Return type:

Tensor

mean_action(features)[source]

Deterministic action tanh(mean) of the squashed Gaussian policy.

forward(deter=True) estimates the mode by drawing 100 samples and keeping the most likely, so it is random and ~100x the cost of one sample. This is the usual deployment choice instead: one pass, no randomness, and traceable by every exporter. It is not bit-identical to the Monte Carlo mode, so evaluation numbers can differ slightly.

Parameters:

features (Tensor)

Return type:

Tensor

Parameters:
  • action (Tensor)

  • action_noise (float)

Return type:

Tensor

class synora.TanhBijector[source]

Bases: Transform

Bijective tanh transform for squashing Gaussian distributions to [-1, 1].

This transformation is essential for Dreamer’s action policy. Raw neural network outputs are Gaussian distributions over R^n, but actions in continuous control environments are typically bounded in [-1, 1]. The tanh bijector provides:

  1. Bijective mapping: tanh is invertible (with atanh as inverse)

  2. Stable log-det Jacobian: Computable for gradient-based training

  3. Clipped actions: During inference, actions are naturally bounded

  • Forward: y = tanh(x)

  • Inverse: x = atanh(y) = 0.5 * log((1+y)/(1-y))

  • Log-det: log|dy/dx| = 2*(log(2) - x - softplus(-2x))

Usage with Dreamer ActionDecoder:

dist = TransformedDistribution(
    Normal(mean, std),
    TanhBijector()
)
action = dist.sample()  # Bounded to [-1, 1]

Returns:

Reconstructed images

decode_from_indices(indices, codebook)[source]

Decode discrete token indices into images.

The codebook must be passed in explicitly – it is the quantizer’s table (IRISEncoder.quantizer.codebook), the only one the commitment and reconstruction losses train. This decoder previously owned a private index_to_embedding table that no objective ever touched, so decoding through it returned noise that looked plausible enough to go unnoticed.

Parameters:

Bases: ExportableAgentMixin, Module

Video Tokenizer using VQ-VAE with Spatiotemporal Transformer.

This is a core component of Genie (Google DeepMind, 2024), used to compress raw video frames into discrete latent tokens that can be processed by downstream models like the LatentActionModel and DynamicsModel.

The tokenizer uses Vector Quantized Variational Autoencoder (VQ-VAE) objective to learn a discrete codebook of video representations. Unlike standard VQ-VAE, this uses a Spatiotemporal (ST) Transformer in both encoder and decoder to better capture temporal dynamics in videos.

Architecture

  1. Patch Embedding: Convert (B, C, T, H, W) video to patch tokens

  2. Encoder ST-Transformer: Process spatial-temporal patches

  3. Vector Quantization: Discretize continuous embeddings to codebook entries

  4. Decoder ST-Transformer: Reconstruct video from quantized tokens

  5. Patch Unembedding: Convert tokens back to video frames

Key Features

  • Causal processing: Each frame’s encoding only uses previous frames

  • Discrete tokens: Enables autoregressive prediction with latent actions

  • Memory efficient: Uses ST-Transformer instead of full ViT to reduce complexity

Usage with Genie:

tokenizer = VideoTokenizer(
    num_frames=16,
    image_size=64,
    patch_size=4,
    vocab_size=1024,
    embedding_dim=32
)
reconstructed, indices, loss_dict = tokenizer(video_frames)

# For discrete token input to dynamics model:
token_embeddings = tokenizer.decode_indices(indices)

The tokenizer is trained with VQ-VAE objective: - Reconstruction loss: MSE between input and reconstructed video - VQ loss: Commit to codebook embeddings - Commitment loss: Penalizes encoder outputs drifting from codebook

class synora.ReplayBuffer(size, obs_shape, action_size, seq_len, batch_size)[source]

Bases: object

Fixed-size replay buffer for Dreamer with image observations and transitions.

Stores (observation, action, reward, terminal) tuples in a ring buffer and supports sampling contiguous sequences for world-model training.

Key Features

  • Ring buffer with fixed capacity (FIFO eviction when full)

  • Stores raw uint8 images to save memory

  • Samples sequences (not single transitions) for temporal modeling

  • Validates sampled sequences don’t span episode boundaries

Memory Layout

  • observations: (capacity, C, H, W) uint8 images

  • actions: (capacity, action_dim) float32

  • rewards: (capacity,) float32

  • terminals: (capacity,) float32 (1.0 = terminal, 0.0 = continue)

Sampling Process

  1. Random start index (avoiding episode boundaries)

  2. Collect sequence of length seq_len with wraparound

  3. Validate no terminal in middle of sequence

  4. Return batch of sequences

Usage with Dreamer:

buffer = ReplayBuffer(
    size=100000,           # Max transitions to store
    obs_shape=(3, 64, 64), # RGB images
    action_size=6,         # Continuous action dim
    seq_len=50,            # Sequence length for training
    batch_size=50          # Parallel sequences per batch
)

# Add transitions during interaction
buffer.add(obs, action, reward, done)

# Sample batch for world model training
obs_batch, action_batch, reward_batch, term_batch = buffer.sample()

Memory Efficiency

  • Uses uint8 for images (1 byte per pixel vs 4 for float32)

  • Sequences share observations (overlapping windows)

  • Configurable capacity based on available system memory

Note

The buffer stores observations as {“image”: …} dicts but returns just the image arrays for training efficiency.

Parameters:
  • size (int)

embedding[t] = [sin(t / P^(2i/d)), cos(t / P^(2i/d))] for i in [0, d/2)

Note the division by increasing powers of max_period: frequencies decay from 1 down to 1/max_period. Building them the other way round (ascending to max_period) makes the sine argument reach ~1e7 radians at t=999, which aliases so badly that adjacent timesteps receive near-orthogonal embeddings – the model then has to memorise every noise level instead of interpolating between them.

Parameters:
  • timesteps (Tensor) – Tensor of timesteps, shape (B,) or (B, 1)

  • dim (int) – Embedding dimension

  • max_period (float) – Longest sinusoid period; 10000 follows DDPM/ADM.

Returns:

Tensor of shape (B, dim) with sinusoidal embeddings.

Return type:

Tensor

class synora.RSSMPolicy(model, planning_horizon, num_candidates, num_iterations, top_candidates, device, compile_rollout=False)[source]

Bases: object

Model-predictive controller using Cross-Entropy Method (CEM) with RSSM.

Plans actions by optimizing a sequence of future actions in the RSSM’s latent space. Uses Cross-Entropy Method to refine action sequences based on predicted returns.

The policy uses a Cross-Entropy Method style loop: it samples candidate action sequences, rolls them forward in latent space, scores predicted returns, and refits a Gaussian proposal to top-performing candidates.

Algorithm:
  1. Initialize Gaussian distribution over action sequences

  2. Sample N candidate action sequences

  3. Rollout each sequence in RSSM latent space

  4. Score by predicted cumulative rewards

  5. Keep top K candidates, fit Gaussian to them

  6. Repeat for T iterations

  7. Execute first action from best sequence

Variables:
  • rssm – The RSSM world model.

  • N – Number of candidate action sequences to sample.

  • K – Number of top candidates to use for updating the proposal.

  • T – Number of CEM iterations per planning step.

  • H – Planning horizon (number of future steps to consider).

  • d – Action dimensionality.

  • device – Device to run computations on.

  • state_size – Hidden state dimensionality.

  • latent_size – Latent state dimensionality.

Parameters:
  • model (Any)

  • planning_horizon (int)

class synora.IRISActor(action_size, hidden_size=512, num_layers=4, frame_shape=(3, 64, 64))[source]

Bases: ExportableAgentMixin, Module

Actor network for the IRIS (Imagination with auto-Regression over an Inner Speech) policy.

Takes reconstructed frames as input and outputs action logits for policy control. Uses a CNN feature extractor followed by an LSTM for temporal processing. Supports a burn-in mechanism for initializing the hidden state with context frames.

This standalone actor owns its own CNN and LSTM. (When actor and critic share a backbone, as in the paper, that sharing is done at the IRISAgent level, which builds a single CNN + LSTM feeding separate actor/critic heads.)

Architecture:
  • CNN: Extracts features from input frames (3x64x64 -> 512)

  • LSTM: Processes temporal sequences with configurable layers

  • Linear: Maps hidden states to action logits

Parameters:
  • action_size (int) – Number of discrete actions.

  • hidden_size (int) – LSTM hidden state size (default: 512).

  • num_layers (int) – Number of LSTM layers (default: 4).

  • frame_shape (tuple) – Shape of input frames as (C, H, W) (default: (3, 64, 64)).

Variables:
  • action_size (int) – Number of discrete actions.

  • hidden_size (int) – LSTM hidden state size.

  • num_layers (int) – Number of LSTM layers.

  • frame_shape (tuple) – Input frame shape.

forward(frames, hidden_state=None, burn_in_frames=None)[source]

Bases: ExportableAgentMixin, Module

Critic network for IRIS value estimation.

Estimates the value function for given frame sequences. It uses the same architecture as the actor (CNN feature extractor + LSTM) and a value head that predicts expected cumulative rewards. This standalone critic instantiates its own CNN and LSTM; backbone sharing between actor and critic is handled at the IRISAgent level, not here.

class synora.CNNFeatureExtractor(frame_shape=(3, 64, 64), output_size=512, channels=(32, 64, 128, 256))[source]

Bases: ExportableAgentMixin, Module

CNN feature extractor shared between actor and critic networks.

Reproduces the convolutional block of the IRIS actor-critic (paper A.3):

“The convolutional block consists of the same layer repeated four times: a 3x3 convolution with stride 1 and padding 1, a ReLU activation, and 2x2 max-pooling with stride 2.”

Downsampling is therefore done by max-pooling, not by strided convolution. Both reach 64 -> 4 spatially, but max-pooling keeps a full-resolution convolution before each reduction and selects the strongest activation in each window, which preserves small bright objects (the ball in Pong, a bullet) that a stride-2 convolution can skip over entirely.

The paper does not state the channel widths; 32 -> 64 -> 128 -> 256 is kept from the previous implementation.

Parameters:
  • frame_shape (tuple) – Shape of input frames as (C, H, W) (default: (3, 64, 64)).

  • output_size (int) – Size of output feature vector (default: 512).

  • channels (tuple) – Per-layer output channel counts.

Variables:
  • frame_shape (tuple) – Input frame shape.

  • output_size (int) – Output feature dimension.

Parameters:

x (Tensor) – Frames (B, C, H, W)

class synora.BSuiteImageEnv(bsuite_id, seed=0, size=(64, 64), env=None, include_state=False)[source]

Bases: object

Gym-like wrapper for DeepMind BSuite dm_env environments.

BSuite tasks expose compact dm_env observations and mostly discrete actions. This adapter presents a Gym/Gymnasium-style API with image observations under a dict with required "image" key so Synora’s pixel-based world models can train and evaluate on BSuite diagnostic tasks without requiring the base environment to implement rendering. When include_state=True, observations also include a flattened "state" key.

Parameters:
  • bsuite_id (str)

  • seed (int)

  • size (tuple[int, int])

  • env (Any | None)

  • include_state (bool)

synora.make_diamond_atari_env(game, frameskip=4, max_noop=30, terminate_on_life_loss=True, reward_clip=True, resize=(64, 64), seed=None)[source]

Create a DIAMOND-compatible Atari environment.

Parameters:
  • game (str) – Atari game name. Accepts either the bare "Breakout-v5" or the namespaced "ALE/Breakout-v5"; the ALE/ prefix is added when missing. DIAMOND checkpoints store the bare form, so requiring the namespaced one here would make them unloadable.

  • max_noop (int) – Maximum number of noop actions at reset

  • terminate_on_life_loss (bool) – Whether to terminate on life loss

  • reward_clip (bool) – Whether to clip rewards to [-1, 0, 1]

class synora.MuJoCoImageEnv(xml_path=None, *, xml_string=None, binary_path=None, assets=None, seed=0, size=(64, 64), camera=None, reward_fn=None, terminal_fn=None, frame_skip=1, reset_noise_scale=0.0, default_control_range=(-1.0, 1.0), include_state=False)[source]

Bases: object

Native MuJoCo environment adapter for pixel-based world-model training.

The adapter uses the low-level mujoco Python package directly: models are compiled from MJCF XML strings/files or MJB binaries via mujoco.MjModel; simulation state lives in mujoco.MjData; actions are written to data.ctrl; and images are produced with mujoco.Renderer. Observations follow Synora’s Dreamer-style contract: a dict with required key "image" containing uint8[C, H, W] frames.

Native MuJoCo models do not define task rewards or episode termination by themselves, so callers can supply reward_fn and terminal_fn callbacks. By default, rewards are 0.0 and episodes terminate only through external wrappers such as TimeLimit.

Parameters:
  • xml_path (str | Path | None)

  • xml_string (str | None)

  • binary_path (str | Path | None)

  • assets (dict[str, bytes] | None)

  • seed (int)

  • size (tuple[int, int])

  • camera (str | int | None)

  • reward_fn (RewardFn | None)

  • terminal_fn (TerminalFn | None)

  • frame_skip (int)

Create one MuJoCo image environment factory for tasks and MJCF/MJB models.

Parameters:
  • model (str | Path | None) – Either a Gymnasium MuJoCo task id such as "Humanoid-v4", an MJCF XML path/string, or an MJB binary path.

  • backend (str) – "auto" infers native vs Gymnasium task mode. Use "native" for MJCF/MJB, "gymnasium" for task ids, or "robotics" for Gymnasium Robotics registrations.

  • seed (int) – Seed forwarded to the image wrapper.

  • size (tuple[int, int]) – Target (height, width) image size.

  • render_mode (str) – Render mode used for Gymnasium MuJoCo task ids.

  • gym_kwargs (dict[str, Any] | None) – Optional keyword arguments forwarded to gymnasium.make in task-id mode. Extra **kwargs are also forwarded there.

  • **kwargs (Any) – Native MuJoCoImageEnv options for MJCF/MJB mode, or environment-constructor options for Gymnasium task-id mode.

Returns:

A Synora image environment returning {"image": uint8[C, H, W]}.

Return type:

GymImageEnv | MuJoCoImageEnv

synora.make_mujoco_env_from_config(args, size)[source]

  • size (tuple[int, int])

Return type:

Any

synora.list_gymnasium_robotics_envs()[source]

List all Gymnasium Robotics ids registered by the installed package.

Returns an empty list when the optional dependency is not installed. When it is installed, the list is derived from Gymnasium’s registry rather than a hand-maintained subset, so newly added Robotics environments are exposed automatically.

Return type:

list[str]

synora.make_robotics_env(env, *, seed=0, size=(64, 64), render_mode='rgb_array', gym_kwargs=None, **kwargs)[source]

Create a Synora image wrapper for a Gymnasium Robotics environment.

Parameters:
  • env (str) – Any environment id registered by gymnasium-robotics.

  • seed (int) – Seed forwarded to GymImageEnv.

  • size (tuple[int, int]) – Target (height, width) image size.

  • render_mode (str) – Render mode forwarded to gymnasium.make.

  • gym_kwargs (dict[str, Any] | None) – Optional keyword arguments forwarded to gymnasium.make.

  • **kwargs (Any) – Additional keyword arguments forwarded to gymnasium.make.

Returns:

A GymImageEnv that emits {"image": uint8[C, H, W]} observations.

Return type:

GymImageEnv

synora.register_gymnasium_robotics_envs()[source]

Import Gymnasium Robotics so its environments are registered with Gymnasium.

Gymnasium moved legacy MuJoCo v2/v3 task registrations into the external gymnasium-robotics package. Current Gymnasium Robotics versions register environments during import, while older plugin-style installations may rely on gymnasium.register_envs; this helper supports both paths.

Return type:

Any

class synora.GymImageEnv(env, seed=0, size=(64, 64), render_mode='rgb_array', include_state=False)[source]

Bases: object

Gym-like environment wrapper that always returns image observations.

This wrapper normalizes diverse environment interfaces to return consistent image-based observations suitable for pixel-based world models like Dreamer.

Features:
  • Supports environment IDs (string) and pre-built environment objects.

  • For vector observations, uses the environment’s own render() frame, and only synthesizes band images from the vector when rendering fails.

  • Exposes continuous action spaces mapped to [-1, 1] range.

  • Converts discrete actions to one-hot vectors.

  • Returns observations as dicts with required key "image" and optional key "state" when include_state=True and a vector observation is available.

Parameters:
  • env (Any) – Either a string environment ID (e.g., “Pendulum-v1”) or a pre-built gym environment instance.

  • seed (int) – Random seed for environment reset (default: 0).

  • size (tuple) – Target image size as (height, width) (default: (64, 64)).

  • render_mode (str) – Render mode for environment (default: “rgb_array”).

class synora.WorldModelEnv(world_model, observation_space, action_space, *, initial_observation=None, initial_state=None, reset_fn=None, transition_fn=None, reward_fn=None, terminal_fn=None, render_fn=None, action_transform_fn=None, max_episode_steps=None, render_mode=None, device=None, torch_actions=True, seed=None)[source]

Bases: Env

Expose a trained world model through the Gymnasium Env API.

WorldModelEnv keeps the current latent/model state and advances it with a transition callable or with a compatible method on world_model. The wrapper returns Gymnasium-style (obs, info) from reset and (obs, reward, terminated, truncated, info) from step, making learned model rollouts pluggable into RL libraries such as Stable-Baselines3, TorchRL, and CleanRL.

Parameters:
  • world_model (Any) – Trained model or lightweight adapter object used for simulated dynamics.

  • observation_space (gym.Space) – Gymnasium observation space emitted by the wrapper.

  • action_space (gym.Space) – Gymnasium action space accepted by the wrapper.

  • initial_observation (Any | None) – Optional observation returned when no reset callable provides one. Defaults to observation_space.sample().

  • initial_state (Any | None) – Optional latent/model state used at reset.

  • reset_fn (ResetFn | None) – Optional callable for resetting model state. Accepted return forms are obs, (obs, info), (state, obs), (state, obs, info), or a mapping with state/observation.

  • transition_fn (TransitionFn | None) – Optional callable for one model step. If omitted, the wrapper tries common methods on world_model: env_step, step, predict_step, predict, imagine_step, transition, then __call__.

  • reward_fn (RewardFn | None) – Optional callable used when the transition output omits a reward.

  • terminal_fn (TerminalFn | None) – Optional callable used when the transition output omits a termination flag.

  • render_fn (RenderFn | None) – Optional callable used by render.

  • action_transform_fn (ActionTransformFn | None) – Optional callable that converts library actions into the format expected by the world model.

  • max_episode_steps (int | None) – Optional time limit. Reaching it sets truncated.

  • render_mode (str | None) – Optional Gymnasium render mode. rgb_array is supported by default when observations contain image-like data.

  • device (Any | None) – Device used for tensor actions when torch_actions=True.

  • torch_actions (bool) – Convert actions to torch.Tensor before model calls.

  • seed (int | None) – Optional RNG seed for observation/action spaces and NumPy.

metadata = {'render_fps': 30, 'render_modes': ['rgb_array']}
property state: Any

class synora.BraxImageEnv(env, seed=0, size=(64, 64), backend=None, episode_length=None, auto_reset=False, jit=True, suppress_warp_warnings=True, include_state=False, **env_kwargs)[source]

Bases: object

Gym-like adapter for training Synora world models on Brax tasks.

Brax environments are functional JAX environments: reset consumes a PRNG key and returns a state, while step consumes the previous state plus an action and returns the next state. This adapter stores the Brax state between calls and converts state observations into image observations compatible with pixel-based Synora agents such as Dreamer.

If a Brax renderer is not available, vector observations are rendered as deterministic feature-band images so training code can still consume a pixel stream. The original vector observation is also exposed through info["vector_observation"] after step for diagnostics. When include_state=True, observations also expose a flattened "state" key.

Parameters:
  • env (str | Any)

  • seed (int)

  • size (tuple[int, int])

  • backend (str | None)

  • episode_length (int | None)

  • auto_reset (bool)

  • jit (bool)

Bases: object

Gym-style adapter for DeepMind Lab 3D environments.

The native deepmind_lab API exposes RGB observations as HWC arrays and expects a seven-element integer action vector. This adapter presents a Synora-friendly image observation dict and a Box action space containing a one-hot vector in [-1, 1] so it composes with Dreamer’s normalization wrappers.

Parameters:
  • level (str)

  • seed (int)

  • size (tuple[int, int])

  • action_repeat (int)

  • action_set (Sequence[Sequence[int]] | np.ndarray | None)

class synora.ThroughputMeter(device=None, window=50)[source]

Bases: object

Steps per second and bytes-to-device, over a sliding window.

Parameters:
  • device (torch.device | str | None) – Device the work runs on. When it is CUDA the meter synchronises before reading the clock, because kernel launches are asynchronous and an unsynchronised timer measures queueing rather than execution.

  • window (int) – Number of recent steps the windowed rate is computed over.

record_transfer(*tensors)[source]

Attribute tensors’ bytes to the step currently in flight.

Parameters:

tensors (Any)

Return type:

None

Close out one step.

summary()[source]

One-line human-readable report.

Return type:

str

synora.measure_steps(step_fn, iterations, warmup=3, device=None)[source]

Time step_fn over iterations, discarding warmup steps first.

Warmup matters: the first calls pay for lazy CUDA context creation, cuDNN autotuning, and torch.compile tracing, none of which recur.

Parameters:
  • step_fn (Any)

  • iterations (int)

  • warmup (int)

  • device (Any)

Return type:

Dict[str, float]

synora.tensor_nbytes(*tensors)[source]

Total bytes backing tensors, skipping anything that is not a tensor.

element_size() * nelement() rather than untyped_storage().nbytes(): a sliced view would otherwise be charged for the whole base allocation.

Parameters:

tensors (Any)

Return type:

int

synora.enable_performance_defaults(*, tf32=True, cudnn_benchmark=True)[source]

Turn on the CUDA throughput settings Synora trainers expect.

Call this once at the start of a training run. It is deliberately explicit and not applied on import, because both settings trade something away:

cudnn_benchmark autotunes convolution algorithms on first sight of each input shape. That is a large win for fixed-shape training and a loss for workloads whose shapes keep changing, and the autotuner’s choice is not guaranteed stable run to run.

tf32 lets matmuls and convolutions use TensorFloat-32 on Ampere and later: same exponent range as float32, but a 10-bit mantissa. For model-based RL and vision training this is the standard setting and costs no measurable quality, but it is not bit-reproducible against a float32 baseline - leave it off for numerics regression work.

Both are no-ops without CUDA, so this is safe to call unconditionally.

Parameters:
  • tf32 (bool)

  • cudnn_benchmark (bool)

Return type:

None

synora.maybe_compile(module_or_fn, *, enabled=False, mode='reduce-overhead')[source]

Optionally wrap a callable in torch.compile.

RSSM rollouts and CEM planning are sequences of very small kernels driven by a Python loop, so they are launch-bound rather than FLOP-bound; compiling the step collapses that overhead. It is off by default because compilation costs seconds to minutes on first call, recompiles whenever an input shape changes, and is unavailable on some builds - none of which a short run or a test wants to pay for.

Falls back to the eager callable if compilation is unsupported, so callers never need to guard. torch.compile is lazy: a missing backend (for example no Triton on a Windows CUDA build) surfaces on the first call, not when wrapping, so the fallback also covers that first call. Once a compiled call has succeeded, later errors propagate unchanged - by then they are genuine errors, not a missing backend.

An nn.Module is compiled by swapping its instance forward, so the module object, its attributes and its state_dict keys are unchanged. (torch.compile(module) would return an OptimizedModule whose keys gain an _orig_mod. prefix, and checkpoints written from it would not load into an uncompiled model.)

Parameters:
  • module_or_fn (Any)

  • enabled (bool)

  • mode (str)

Return type:

Any

synora.to_channels_last(model)[source]

Convert a conv-heavy model to NHWC memory format.

This is a layout change only - values are untouched - but it lets cuDNN pick NHWC tensor-core kernels for convolutions instead of transposing on every call. Inputs must be converted to match; mixing layouts silently costs more than it saves.

Parameters:

model (Module)

Return type:

Module

class synora.InferenceModel(module, *, precision='fp32', compile=False, compile_mode='reduce-overhead', channels_last=False, cast_weights=False, output_dtype=torch.float32, clone_outputs=None)[source]

Bases: ExportableAgentMixin, Module

A module wrapped for fast, gradient-free inference.

Parameters:
  • module (nn.Module) – Module to wrap. It is put in eval mode and its parameters stop requiring grad; its weights are only modified if cast_weights.

  • precision (str | None) – "fp32" (default), "bf16", "fp16" or "auto". Reduced precision runs under autocast, so numerically sensitive ops (softmax, norms, reductions) stay in fp32.

  • compile (bool) – Wrap the forward in torch.compile. Falls back to eager, with a warning, if the backend is unavailable (e.g. no Triton).

  • compile_mode (str) – torch.compile mode. "reduce-overhead" (default) uses CUDA graphs, the right choice for small, fixed-shape steps. Use "max-autotune" for large batched steps.

  • channels_last (bool) – Convert the module (and 4D inputs) to NHWC, which lets cuDNN use tensor-core convolution kernels.

  • cast_weights (bool) – Store weights in the reduced dtype as well, halving their memory. Inputs are cast to match. Ignored at fp32.

  • output_dtype (torch.dtype | None) – Cast floating outputs to this dtype (default fp32) so the wrapper is a drop-in replacement. None returns them as computed.

  • clone_outputs (bool | None) – Clone outputs after each call. CUDA-graph replays reuse their output buffers, so an output kept across calls would otherwise be overwritten by the next step. Defaults to on exactly when compiling with a CUDA-graph mode.

property device: device
forward(*args, **kwargs)[source]
Parameters:
  • args (Any)

  • kwargs (Any)

Return type:

Any

synora.optimize_for_inference(module, **kwargs)[source]

                                compile=True)
action = policy(features)
Parameters:
  • module (Module)

  • kwargs (Any)

Return type:

InferenceModel

synora.inference_context(device, precision='fp32')[source]

torch.inference_mode plus autocast at precision.

fp32 enters no autocast region at all, so it is bit-identical to calling the model directly under inference_mode.

Parameters:
  • device (device | str)

  • precision (str | None)

Return type:

Iterator[None]

Bases: object

Stepper for Dreamer (V1) agents.

Parameters:
  • agent (Any) – A DreamerAgent or the inner Dreamer.

  • action_mode (str) – How act(explore=False) picks an action. "mode" (default) calls the actor exactly as Dreamer.act_with_world_model does, i.e. a 100-sample Monte Carlo mode estimate. "mean" uses mean_action(): deterministic, one pass, and what step_module() exports.

Bases: ExportableAgentMixin, Module

One Dreamer observe+act step as a pure function of tensors.

forward(deter, stoch, prev_action, obs, prior_noise, posterior_noise) returns (deter, stoch, action).

Parameters:
  • batch_size (int)

  • obs_shape (tuple[int, ...] | None)

Return type:

tuple[Tensor, …]

class synora.IRISStepper(agent, *, temperature=1.0)[source]

Bases: object

Stepper for IRISAgent acting.

The IRIS policy is a CNN -> LSTM over frames, so observe advances the LSTM on the new frame and caches the action logits, and act samples from them. Imagination in IRIS is a whole-rollout procedure with a KV cache and cache rebuilding (paper 2.3); use IRISAgent.imagine_rollout for it rather than a per-step API, so supports_imagination is False.

Parameters:
  • agent (Any) – The IRIS agent. It is switched to eval mode.

  • temperature (float) – Softmax temperature for action sampling; 0 with explore=False takes the argmax.

supports_imagination = False
init_state(batch_size=1)[source]
Parameters:

batch_size (int)

Return type:

Dict[str, Tensor]

observe(state, obs, prev_action)[source]

Advance the policy on a (B, C, H, W) frame batch in [0, 1].

Parameters:
  • state (Dict[str, Tensor])

  • obs (Tensor)

  • prev_action (Tensor | None)

Return type:

Dict[str, Tensor]

act(state, *, explore=False)[source]
Parameters:
  • state (Dict[str, Tensor])

  • explore (bool)

Return type:

Tensor

synora.benchmark_step(step, *args, warmup=10, iterations=100, batch_size=1, device=None, name='step', **kwargs)[source]

Time step(*args, **kwargs).

Each iteration is timed individually (with a device synchronisation on CUDA, because kernel launches are asynchronous) so tail latency is visible, which matters for acting in a real-time environment. warmup iterations run first and are discarded: they absorb torch.compile compilation, CUDA-graph capture and cuDNN autotuning.

Parameters:
  • step (Callable[[...], Any]) – Callable to time. For a stateful loop, pass a closure that advances its own state.

  • warmup (int) – Untimed iterations.

  • iterations (int) – Timed iterations.

  • batch_size (int) – Items processed per call, for items_per_sec.

  • device (device | str | None) – Device to synchronise and read peak memory on. Inferred from the first tensor argument when omitted.

  • name (str) – Label for the report.

  • args (Any)

  • kwargs (Any)

Return type:

LatencyReport

synora.rollout_drift(reference, candidate, initial_state, step_inputs)[source]

Run both steps closed-loop from initial_state and compare states.

Each step is called as step(state, *step_inputs[t]) and must return the next state (any pytree of tensors, e.g. a tuple or dict). Each rollout feeds back its own output, so the report shows compounding error, not only one-step error.

Stochastic models must be given their randomness through step_inputs (for example the noise argument of DreamerStepModule): compiled and exported graphs do not consume the global RNG the way eager code does, so seeding alone does not make the two rollouts comparable.

Parameters:
  • reference (Callable[[...], Any])

  • candidate (Callable[[...], Any])

  • initial_state (Any)

  • step_inputs (Sequence[Sequence[Any]])

Return type:

DriftReport

synora.quantize_weights(module, *, skip=('quantizer', 'codebook', 'vq', 'fc_state_prior', 'fc_state_posterior'), min_in_features=64, backend='native')[source]

Quantise nn.Linear weights of module to int8, in place.

Parameters:
  • module (Module) – Module to quantise. Put it in eval mode first; the result is for inference only.

  • skip (Iterable[str]) – Substrings of qualified module names to leave in floating point. A layer is skipped if any of its ancestors’ names matches too.

  • min_in_features (int) – Leave smaller nn.Linear layers alone.

  • backend (str) – "native" (default) uses Int8WeightOnlyLinear, which needs no extra dependency and exports with torch.export. "torchao" delegates to torchao’s int8 weight-only kernels, which are faster on recent GPUs; it applies the same filter.

Returns:

Qualified names of the layers that were quantised.

Return type:

list[str]

synora.save_bundle(directory, module, *, example_inputs=None, formats=('exported_program',), config=None, name='model', metadata=None, verify=True, export_kwargs=None)[source]

Write module as a deployment bundle.

Parameters:
  • directory (str | Path) – Output directory (created if missing).

  • module (Module) – Module to bundle - typically a pure step module such as DreamerStepModule.

  • example_inputs (Any) – Inputs used to export and to record the input spec. Required when formats is non-empty.

  • formats (Iterable[str]) – Export formats to include (see synora.export). Pass () for a weights-and-config bundle.

  • config (Any) – Model config (dataclass, object or dict), stored as JSON.

  • name (str) – Base file name of the artifacts.

  • metadata (dict[str, Any] | None) – Extra JSON-serialisable fields for the manifest.

  • verify (bool) – Check each artifact against the eager module with verify_export() and record the max error.

  • export_kwargs (dict[str, Any] | None) – Extra keyword arguments per format, e.g. {"exported_program": {"dynamic_shapes": ...}}.

Return type:

Bundle

synora.load_bundle(directory)[source]

Read a bundle written by save_bundle().

Parameters:

directory (str | Path)

Return type:

Bundle

class synora.STKVCache(num_layers, batch_size, num_heads, num_patches, head_dim, max_frames, device, dtype)[source]

Bases: object

Per-layer temporal key/value cache for frame-by-frame generation.

In an ST-transformer, spatial attention and the MLP act within a frame and temporal attention is causal, so a frame’s activations never depend on later frames. Generating frame t+1 therefore only needs the temporal keys/values of frames 0..t - it does not have to re-run the network over the whole prefix. With the cache, each new frame costs one frame’s worth of compute instead of t frames’, turning an O(T^2) rollout into O(T).

Storage is a pre-allocated (B, heads, N, max_frames, head_dim) buffer per layer. Writes go to length onwards; advance() commits them. A forward that is not committed can be repeated (e.g. MaskGIT refinement of the same frame) and simply overwrites the same slots.

Parameters:
  • num_layers (int)

  • batch_size (int)

  • num_heads (int)

  • num_patches (int)

  • head_dim (int)

  • max_frames (int)

  • device (device)

  • dtype (dtype)

append(layer, k, v)[source]

Write (B, heads, N, T_new, hd) keys/values; return the full prefix.

Parameters:
  • layer (int)

  • k (Tensor)

  • v (Tensor)

Return type:

Tuple[Tensor, Tensor]

advance(frames)[source]

Commit frames newly written frames.

Parameters:

frames (int)

Return type:

None

Export utilities for production deployment.

The public entry points are export_model() / export_any() and the obj.export(path, format=...) method. Supported formats:

  • "exported_program" - torch.export graph saved as .pt2. The recommended format: loadable without the model’s source code, and the input to AOTInductor, ExecuTorch and TensorRT.

  • "aoti" - AOTInductor package (.pt2): an ahead-of-time compiled shared library runnable from Python or C++ without the model’s Python code.

  • "onnx" - for ONNX Runtime / TensorRT / edge runtimes.

  • "tensorrt" - Torch-TensorRT, compiled through the dynamo IR by default.

  • "torchscript" - legacy; TorchScript is in maintenance mode upstream.

load_exported() loads any of these back and verify_export() checks an artifact against its eager module.

Synora’s public models and agents get .export() from ExportableAgentMixin. Any other nn.Module goes through export_model(); Synora does not modify torch.nn.Module.

class synora.export.DreamerPolicyExport(actor)[source]#

Bases: Module

Traceable Dreamer policy head used by the generic export resolver.

Parameters:

actor (nn.Module)

forward(features)[source]#
Parameters:

features (Tensor)

Return type:

Tensor

class synora.export.ExportableAgentMixin[source]#

Bases: object

Adds .export() to an agent or nn.Module.

Delegates to export_any(), which resolves the deployable module (the object itself, or target / a preferred submodule such as policy for agent wrappers) and infers example inputs where it can.

export(path, format='onnx', *, example_inputs=None, target=None, input_names=None, output_names=None, dynamic_axes=None, opset_version=17, **kwargs)[source]#

Export this agent or one of its contained modules for deployment.

Parameters:

  • output_names (list[str] | None)

  • dynamic_axes (dict[str, dict[int, str]] | None)

  • opset_version (int)

  • kwargs (Any)

Return type:

Return type:

Path

synora.export.export_model(module, path, format='onnx', *, example_inputs=None, input_names=None, output_names=None, dynamic_axes=None, opset_version=17, **kwargs)[source]#

Export a torch.nn.Module to ONNX, TorchScript, or TensorRT.

Parameters:

synora.export.load_exported(path, format=None, *, device=None)[source]#

Load an exported artifact back as a callable.

Parameters:
  • path (str | Path) – Artifact written by export_model().

  • format (str | None) – Its export format. Inferred from the suffix when omitted, with .pt2 read as exported_program; pass "aoti" for AOTInductor packages, which share the suffix.

  • device (device | str | None) – Device to move an ExportedProgram or TorchScript module to.

Return type:

Callable[[…], Any]

ONNX artifacts run through ONNX Runtime (optional dependency); the returned callable takes and returns tensors like the other formats.

synora.export.verify_export(module, exported, example_inputs, *, format=None, atol=0.0001, rtol=0.0001)[source]#

Check that an exported artifact reproduces module on example_inputs.

exported is an artifact path (loaded with load_exported()) or an already-loaded callable. Returns the largest absolute difference over all tensor outputs, and raises AssertionError if any output falls outside atol/rtol. For recurrent models also check closed-loop drift with synora.inference.rollout_drift(): one matching step does not rule out error that compounds over a rollout.

Parameters:
  • module (Module)

  • exported (str | Path | Callable[[...], Any])

  • example_inputs (Any)

  • format (str | None)

  • atol (float)

  • rtol (float)

Return type:

float

In-process inference optimisation for any Synora module.

World-model inference is a loop of small steps (an RSSM transition, one token, one denoising pass). Each step does little arithmetic, so on a GPU its cost is dominated by Python and kernel-launch overhead rather than FLOPs. The two levers that matter most are therefore:

  • torch.compile(mode="reduce-overhead"), which fuses kernels and replays the step as a CUDA graph - one launch instead of hundreds;

  • reduced precision (bf16/fp16), which halves memory traffic.

optimize_for_inference() applies both behind one wrapper, and every setting is opt-in: with the defaults the wrapped module is numerically identical to calling it under torch.inference_mode.

class synora.inference.runtime.InferenceModel(module, *, precision='fp32', compile=False, compile_mode='reduce-overhead', channels_last=False, cast_weights=False, output_dtype=torch.float32, clone_outputs=None)[source]#

Bases: ExportableAgentMixin, Module

A module wrapped for fast, gradient-free inference.

Parameters:
  • module (nn.Module) – Module to wrap. It is put in eval mode and its parameters stop requiring grad; its weights are only modified if cast_weights.

  • precision (str | None) – "fp32" (default), "bf16", "fp16" or "auto". Reduced precision runs under autocast, so numerically sensitive ops (softmax, norms, reductions) stay in fp32.

  • compile (bool) – Wrap the forward in torch.compile. Falls back to eager, with a warning, if the backend is unavailable (e.g. no Triton).

  • compile_mode (str) – torch.compile mode. "reduce-overhead" (default) uses CUDA graphs, the right choice for small, fixed-shape steps. Use "max-autotune" for large batched steps.

  • channels_last (bool) – Convert the module (and 4D inputs) to NHWC, which lets cuDNN use tensor-core convolution kernels.

  • cast_weights (bool) – Store weights in the reduced dtype as well, halving their memory. Inputs are cast to match. Ignored at fp32.

  • output_dtype (torch.dtype | None) – Cast floating outputs to this dtype (default fp32) so the wrapper is a drop-in replacement. None returns them as computed.

  • clone_outputs (bool | None) – Clone outputs after each call. CUDA-graph replays reuse their output buffers, so an output kept across calls would otherwise be overwritten by the next step. Defaults to on exactly when compiling with a CUDA-graph mode.

property device: device#
forward(*args, **kwargs)[source]#
Parameters:
  • args (Any)

  • kwargs (Any)

Return type:

Any

synora.inference.runtime.optimize_for_inference(module, **kwargs)[source]#

Wrap module for inference. See InferenceModel for options.

Example:

policy = optimize_for_inference(agent.dreamer.actor, precision="auto",
                                compile=True)
action = policy(features)
Parameters:
  • module (Module)

  • kwargs (Any)

Return type:

InferenceModel

One precision policy for inference, instead of a flag per model.

Models in Synora grew their own switches (use_amp, use_bfloat16, …). At inference time the question is always the same - which dtype should matmuls and convolutions run in on this device - so it is answered once here.

synora.inference.precision.inference_context(device, precision='fp32')[source]#

torch.inference_mode plus autocast at precision.

fp32 enters no autocast region at all, so it is bit-identical to calling the model directly under inference_mode.

Parameters:
  • device (device | str)

  • precision (str | None)

Return type:

Iterator[None]

synora.inference.precision.precision_dtype(precision, device)[source]#

The torch.dtype that precision resolves to on device.

Parameters:
  • precision (str | None)

  • device (device | str)

Return type:

dtype

synora.inference.precision.resolve_precision(precision, device)[source]#

Normalise a precision name and resolve "auto" for device.

auto picks bf16 on CUDA devices that support it (Ampere and later), fp16 on older CUDA devices, and fp32 elsewhere. On CPU, reduced precision is usually slower unless the CPU has AMX/AVX512-BF16, so auto stays at fp32 and bf16 must be requested explicitly.

Parameters:
  • precision (str | None)

  • device (device | str)

Return type:

str

A uniform, stateful step interface over Synora world models.

Deployed world models run as a loop: filter the latest real observation into a latent state, pick an action from that state, and - for planning or dreaming - roll the state forward without observations. Each model family spells these steps differently. A stepper gives them one shape:

state = stepper.init_state(batch_size)
while running:
    state = stepper.observe(state, obs, prev_action)   # real observation
    action = stepper.act(state)
    step = stepper.imagine(state, action)               # optional
    ...

State is always a flat dict[str, Tensor] with the batch on dim 0. Keeping it explicit, rather than hidden inside the model, is what makes the loop batchable across environments, compilable (the step is a pure function of its inputs), and exportable: see DreamerStepper.step_module().

Steppers never change a model’s numerics: with default options every method calls the model’s own code path.

class synora.inference.steppers.DreamerStepModule(dreamer)[source]#

Bases: ExportableAgentMixin, Module

One Dreamer observe+act step as a pure function of tensors.

forward(deter, stoch, prev_action, obs, prior_noise, posterior_noise) returns (deter, stoch, action). Sampling noise is an input, so the graph contains no RNG: it is exportable by torch.export/ONNX, gives identical results eager vs. exported, and the caller controls seeding (pass zeros for the posterior mean). The action is the deterministic tanh(mean) (see ActionDecoder.mean_action()).

Parameters:

dreamer (Any)

forward(deter, stoch, prev_action, obs, prior_noise, posterior_noise)[source]#
Parameters:
  • deter (Tensor)

  • stoch (Tensor)

  • prev_action (Tensor)

  • posterior_noise (Tensor)

Return type:

tuple[Tensor, Tensor, Tensor]

example_inputs(batch_size=1, obs_shape=None)[source]#

Parameters:
  • batch_size (int)

  • obs_shape (tuple[int, ...] | None)

Return type:

tuple[Tensor, …]

class synora.inference.steppers.DreamerStepper(agent, *, action_mode='mode')[source]#

Bases: object

Stepper for Dreamer (V1) agents.

Parameters:
  • agent (Any) – A DreamerAgent or the inner Dreamer.

  • action_mode (str) – How act(explore=False) picks an action. "mode" (default) calls the actor exactly as Dreamer.act_with_world_model does, i.e. a 100-sample Monte Carlo mode estimate. "mean" uses mean_action(): deterministic, one pass, and what step_module() exports.

class synora.inference.steppers.IRISStepper(agent, *, temperature=1.0)[source]#

Bases: object

Stepper for IRISAgent acting.

The IRIS policy is a CNN -> LSTM over frames, so observe advances the LSTM on the new frame and caches the action logits, and act samples from them. Imagination in IRIS is a whole-rollout procedure with a KV cache and cache rebuilding (paper 2.3); use IRISAgent.imagine_rollout for it rather than a per-step API, so supports_imagination is False.

Parameters:
  • agent (Any) – The IRIS agent. It is switched to eval mode.

  • temperature (float) – Softmax temperature for action sampling; 0 with explore=False takes the argmax.

supports_imagination = False#

Parameters:
  • model (Any)

Return type:

WorldModelStepper

Measure inference speed and what an optimisation costs in fidelity.

Every inference optimisation trades something. Compilation and CUDA graphs are exact up to kernel-level float reordering; bf16, quantisation and fewer sampling steps are not. For a world model a tiny per-step error is not the whole story, because the state is fed back into itself and errors compound over a rollout. So this module reports two things:

  • benchmark_step() - latency percentiles, throughput and peak memory of a step callable, with proper warm-up and CUDA synchronisation;

  • rollout_drift() - how far a candidate step (compiled, bf16, quantised, exported, …) drifts from a reference step over an N-step closed-loop rollout.

class synora.inference.benchmark.DriftReport(steps, max_abs_error=<factory>, rel_error=<factory>)[source]#

Bases: object

Per-step divergence of a candidate rollout from a reference rollout.

max_abs_error[t] is the largest absolute difference over every tensor in the state after step t; rel_error[t] is the L2 norm of the difference divided by the L2 norm of the reference.

Parameters:
  • steps (int)

synora.inference.benchmark.benchmark_step(step, *args, warmup=10, iterations=100, batch_size=1, device=None, name='step', **kwargs)[source]#

Time step(*args, **kwargs).

Each iteration is timed individually (with a device synchronisation on CUDA, because kernel launches are asynchronous) so tail latency is visible, which matters for acting in a real-time environment. warmup iterations run first and are discarded: they absorb torch.compile compilation, CUDA-graph capture and cuDNN autotuning.

Parameters:
  • step (Callable[[...], Any]) – Callable to time. For a stateful loop, pass a closure that advances its own state.

  • warmup (int) – Untimed iterations.

  • iterations (int) – Timed iterations.

  • batch_size (int) – Items processed per call, for items_per_sec.

  • device (device | str | None) – Device to synchronise and read peak memory on. Inferred from the first tensor argument when omitted.

  • name (str) – Label for the report.

  • args (Any)

  • kwargs (Any)

Return type:

LatencyReport

synora.inference.benchmark.rollout_drift(reference, candidate, initial_state, step_inputs)[source]#

Run both steps closed-loop from initial_state and compare states.

Each step is called as step(state, *step_inputs[t]) and must return the next state (any pytree of tensors, e.g. a tuple or dict). Each rollout feeds back its own output, so the report shows compounding error, not only one-step error.

Stochastic models must be given their randomness through step_inputs (for example the noise argument of DreamerStepModule): compiled and exported graphs do not consume the global RNG the way eager code does, so seeding alone does not make the two rollouts comparable.

Parameters:
  • reference (Callable[[...], Any])

  • candidate (Callable[[...], Any])

  • initial_state (Any)

  • step_inputs (Sequence[Sequence[Any]])

Return type:

DriftReport

Weight-only int8 quantisation for world-model inference.

Weight-only quantisation stores nn.Linear weights as int8 with one fp scale per output channel and dequantises on the fly. It cuts weight memory ~4x (vs fp32) and, for the memory-bound small-batch steps world models run, usually speeds them up - especially under torch.compile, which fuses the dequantise into the matmul. Activations stay in floating point, so no calibration data is needed.

What is not quantised by default, and why:

  • VQ codebooks / quantizers (IRIS, Genie tokenizers): token identity is decided by nearest-neighbour distances, so small weight error flips tokens.

  • Stochastic-state heads (the RSSM prior/posterior projections): they output distribution parameters that are sampled from and fed back every step.

  • Small layers (min_in_features): they save little memory and are where quantisation error is proportionally largest.

Embeddings, norms and convolutions are never touched. Always check the result with synora.inference.rollout_drift().

synora.inference.quantize.quantize_weights(module, *, skip=('quantizer', 'codebook', 'vq', 'fc_state_prior', 'fc_state_posterior'), min_in_features=64, backend='native')[source]#

Quantise nn.Linear weights of module to int8, in place.

Parameters:
  • module (Module) – Module to quantise. Put it in eval mode first; the result is for inference only.

  • skip (Iterable[str]) – Substrings of qualified module names to leave in floating point. A layer is skipped if any of its ancestors’ names matches too.

  • min_in_features (int) – Leave smaller nn.Linear layers alone.

  • backend (str) – "native" (default) uses Int8WeightOnlyLinear, which needs no extra dependency and exports with torch.export. "torchao" delegates to torchao’s int8 weight-only kernels, which are faster on recent GPUs; it applies the same filter.

Returns:

Qualified names of the layers that were quantised.

Return type:

Bytes held by parameters and buffers, e.g. to compare before/after.

Parameters:

Self-describing deployment bundles.

A checkpoint alone is not deployable: a server also needs the config the model was built with, the input shapes and dtypes it expects, and ideally a compiled artifact it can run without the training code. A bundle is a directory holding all of that, plus a manifest.json describing it:

policy_bundle/
    manifest.json          # versions, input/output spec, artifact index
    weights.safetensors    # or weights.pt without safetensors
    config.json            # optional: the model config
    model.pt2              # optional: exported artifacts, one per format
    model.onnx

load_bundle reads it back; Bundle.load_artifact() returns a callable for the deployment format and Bundle.load_weights(module) restores eager weights for the Python path.

class synora.models.dreamer_rssm.RSSM(action_size, stoch_size, deter_size, hidden_size, obs_embed_size, activation)[source]#

Bases: ExportableAgentMixin, Module

Recurrent State-Space Model used by Dreamer for latent dynamics learning.

The RSSM is the core world model component that learns compact representations of environment dynamics. It maintains a hybrid state consisting of:

  1. Deterministic State (h) – A recurrent hidden state updated by a GRU, capturing sequential/temporal information and deterministic transitions.

  2. Stochastic State (s) – A latent variable representing stochastic, multi-modal uncertainty in the environment (e.g., ambiguous observations).

The model operates in two modes:

  • Observe Mode – Updates states using actual observations from the environment. Uses the representation model: p(s_t | h_t, obs_t)

  • Imagine Mode – Predicts future states without observations. Uses the transition/prior model: p(s_t | h_t)

Architecture

  • Input: Previous state (h_{t-1}, s_{t-1}) and action a_{t-1}

  • Process: GRU updates deterministic state, MLP computes stochastic prior/posterior

  • Output: Updated state (h_t, s_t) and distributions

State Representation

  • deter (h): GRU hidden state, captures sequential context

  • stoch (s): Stochastic latent, multi-modal uncertainty

  • mean/std: Parameters of the stochastic distribution

Usage with DreamerAgent:

rssm = RSSM(
    action_size=action_dim,
    stoch_size=30,      # Stochastic state dimension
    deter_size=200,     # Deterministic (GRU) state dimension
    hidden_size=200,    # MLP hidden layer size
    obs_embed_size=256,  # Observation embedding from encoder
    activation='elu'
)

# Observe with actual observation
posterior, prior = rssm.observe_step(prev_state, prev_action, obs_embed)

# Imagine future without observation
prior = rssm.imagine_step(current_state, action)

Training

The RSSM is trained by maximizing the ELBO (Evidence Lower Bound):

  • KL divergence between prior and posterior encourages the prior to capture environment dynamics

  • Reconstruction loss from decoder ensures state captures observation info

Reference:

Dreamer: Scalable Reinforcement Learning Using World Models Hafner et al., 2020 - https://arxiv.org/abs/1912.01603

Parameters:
  • action_size (int)

  • stoch_size (int)

  • deter_size (int)

  • hidden_size (int)

  • obs_embed_size (int)

  • activation (str)

init_state(batch_size, device)[source]#

Initialize RSSM state with zeros.

Parameters:
  • batch_size (int) – Number of parallel sequences

  • device (device) – torch device for tensors

Returns:

  • mean, std: Stochastic distribution parameters

  • stoch: Stochastic state sample

  • deter: Deterministic GRU hidden state

Return type:

Dictionary containing zero-initialized state components

get_dist(mean, std)[source]#

Create an Independent Normal distribution from mean and std.

Parameters:
  • mean (Tensor) – Location parameter

  • std (Tensor) – Scale parameter

Returns:

Independent Normal distribution with given parameters

Return type:

Independent

observe_step(prev_state, prev_action, obs_embed, nonterm=tensor(1.), noise=None)[source]#

Update state using actual observation (observe mode).

In observe mode, the RSSM first computes a transition prior from the previous state and action, then refines the stochastic state using the actual observation embedding to form the posterior.

Parameters:
  • prev_state (dict) – Dictionary with ‘deter’ (h_{t-1}) and ‘stoch’ (s_{t-1})

  • prev_action (Tensor) – Previous action a_{t-1}, shape (B, action_size)

  • obs_embed (Tensor) – Observation embedding from encoder, shape (B, obs_embed_size)

  • nonterm (Tensor) – Termination mask (1.0 = continue, 0.0 = terminal)

  • noise (Tuple[Tensor, Tensor] | None) – Optional (prior_noise, posterior_noise) standard-normal tensors of shape (B, stoch_size) used for the two samples instead of drawing them internally. Passing noise makes the step a pure function of its inputs, which exported graphs and eager-vs-exported parity checks need.

Returns:

A tuple (posterior, prior) of state dictionaries. The posterior incorporates observation information; the prior is the transition prediction before observation. Both share the same deterministic state because the GRU is only advanced once per timestep.

The order differs from observe_rollout() and from ModularRSSM.observe_step, which both return (prior, posterior). The dictionaries have identical keys, so a swapped unpacking fails silently: acting on the prior discards the current observation. It is kept for backward compatibility.

Return type:

Tuple[dict, dict]

imagine_step(prev_state, prev_action, nonterm=tensor(1.), noise=None)[source]#

Predict next state without observation (imagine mode).

In imagine mode, the RSSM predicts future states using only the prior distribution. This is used for planning and policy learning where actual observations are not available.

Parameters:
  • prev_state (dict) – Dictionary with ‘deter’ (h_{t-1}) and ‘stoch’ (s_{t-1})

  • prev_action (Tensor) – Previous action a_{t-1}, shape (B, action_size)

  • nonterm (Tensor) – Termination mask (1.0 = continue, 0.0 = terminal)

  • noise (Tensor | None) – Optional standard-normal tensor (B, stoch_size) used for the stochastic sample instead of drawing one internally.

Returns:

  • deter: Predicted deterministic state

  • mean, std, stoch: Prior stochastic state distribution

Return type:

Dictionary with predicted state containing

  • obs_embed (Tensor) – Observation embedding

  • nonterm (Tensor) – Termination mask

Return type:

dict

observe_rollout(obs_embed, actions, nonterms, init_state, seq_len)[source]#

Process a sequence of observations (observe mode rollout).

At each timestep we run observe_step once to obtain the transition prior (the prediction given the previous state and action) and the observation-informed posterior. The posterior is then used as the previous state for the next step, matching the standard Dreamer inference pattern.

Parameters:
  • obs_embed (Tensor) – Observation embeddings, shape (T+1, B, obs_embed_size)

Returns the next deterministic state and the posterior latent.

By default the latent is the posterior mean. Pass sample=True to draw it from the posterior instead. mean is the old, inverted name for that flag (mean=True used to sample); it is still accepted with its old meaning so existing callers keep their behaviour.

forward_actor_critic(frames, hidden=None)[source]#

Forward pass through actor-critic.

Parameters:
  • frames (Tensor) – Input frames (B, T, C, H, W)

  • hidden (Tuple[Tensor, Tensor] | None) – Optional LSTM hidden state

Returns:

(B, T, action_size) values: (B, T) hidden_state: (h, c)

Return type:

action_logits

act(frame, epsilon=0.0, temperature=1.0, hidden=None, return_hidden=False)[source]#

Sample action from policy.

The policy is recurrent (paper A.3: CNN -> LSTM). Callers stepping an episode must thread hidden from one call to the next and reset it on episode boundaries; dropping it makes the policy effectively memoryless, which for games like Pong removes any way to infer the ball’s direction from a single frame.

Parameters:
  • frame (Tensor) – Single frame (B, C, H, W)

  • epsilon (float) – Random action probability

  • temperature (float) – Action distribution temperature

  • hidden (Tuple[Tensor, Tensor] | None) – LSTM state from the previous step, or None to start fresh

  • return_hidden (bool) – If True, also return the updated LSTM state

Returns:

Selected actions (B,), and the updated LSTM state when return_hidden is set.

Return type:

actions

burn_in(frames)[source]#

Initialise the LSTM state by replaying preceding frames.

Paper A.3: “Before starting the imagination procedure from a given frame, we burn-in the 20 previous frames to initialize the hidden state” (Kapturowski et al., 2019). Without this the rollout begins from a zero state that the policy never sees at collection time.

Parameters:

frames (Tensor) – Preceding observations (B, T_burn, C, H, W), already in the reconstruction domain the policy is trained on.

Returns:

The LSTM state after the burn-in, or None if no frames were given.

Return type:

Tuple[Tensor, Tensor] | None

transform_reward(rewards)[source]#

Apply the configured reward transform.

Atari rewards are unbounded integers – in the thousands for games like Krull or UpNDown – and feeding them raw into the value function and lambda-return makes the critic’s target scale game-dependent. The standard Atari convention, which IRIS follows, is to take the sign.

Parameters:

rewards (Tensor)

Return type:

Tensor

reconstruct(frames)[source]#

Pass frames through the discrete autoencoder: D(E(x)).

Paper A.1: “during experience collection in the real environment, frames still go through the autoencoder to keep the input distribution of the policy unchanged”. The policy only ever learns from reconstructions during imagination, so feeding it raw frames in the real environment is a distribution shift.

The encoder is forced into eval mode for the duration. This is not cosmetic: the quantizer’s dead-code revival only runs in training mode, and this method is called on single frames during experience collection and evaluation, when the agent is still in training mode. Leaving it there re-seeds most of the codebook from the 16 encoder outputs of one frame on every environment step, destroying the vocabulary the world model is being trained against.

Parameters:

frames (Tensor) – Real observations (B, C, H, W) or (B, T, C, H, W) in [0, 1].

Returns:

Reconstructions with the same shape, clamped to [0, 1].

Return type:

Tensor

imagine_rollout(initial_frame, horizon=20, burn_in_frames=None, sample_tokens=True, temperature=1.0, stop_on_termination=True)[source]#

Generate imagined trajectories using the world model.

Implements the imagination MDP of paper 2.3 / Figure 1: starting from a real observation, the policy acts on decoded frames while the Transformer rolls the dynamics forward, conditioned on the full imagined history.

Parameters:
  • initial_frame (Tensor) – Starting frame x_0 (B, C, H, W), in [0, 1].

  • horizon (int) – Number of steps H to imagine.

  • burn_in_frames (Tensor | None) – The (B, T_burn, C, H, W) reconstructed observations preceding initial_frame, used to initialise the policy’s LSTM state (paper A.3). None starts from a zero state.

  • sample_tokens (bool) – Sample next-frame tokens instead of taking the argmax.

  • temperature (float) – Sampling temperature for token generation.

  • stop_on_termination (bool) – Cut the rollout short once every trajectory in the batch has hit a predicted episode end (paper 2.3). Set False to always return exactly horizon steps; correctness does not depend on it, since continues already zeroes the discount past a termination.

Returns:

dict with frames (B, T+1, C, H, W), actions (B, T), rewards (B, T) and continues (B, T). T may be shorter than horizon if every rollout predicted an episode end.

Return type:

trajectory

update_autoencoder(frames)[source]#

class synora.models.iris_transformer.KVCache(num_layers, batch_size, num_heads, head_dim, max_len, device, dtype)[source]#

Bases: object

Per-layer key/value cache for incremental decoding.

Imagination generates one position at a time. Without a cache, producing the K tokens of a frame means re-running the whole Transformer over the entire prefix K times, which is O(K * L^2) per imagined step. Caching the keys and values of every position already processed reduces that to O(K * L).

Storage is a pre-allocated (B, num_heads, max_len, head_dim) buffer per layer, filled left to right; length marks the valid prefix.

Parameters:
  • num_layers (int)

  • batch_size (int)

  • num_heads (int)

  • head_dim (int)

  • max_len (int)

  • device (device)

  • dtype (dtype)

append(layer, k, v)[source]#

Append this step’s keys/values for layer and return the full prefix.

The write offset is self.length, which the caller advances once per forward pass (after all layers have been visited), so every layer writes to the same slice.

Parameters:
  • layer (int)

  • k (Tensor)

  • v (Tensor)

Return type:

Tuple[Tensor, Tensor]

advance(steps)[source]#

Commit steps newly written positions.

Parameters:

steps (int)

class synora.models.iris_transformer.IRISTransformer(vocab_size=512, tokens_per_frame=16, action_size=18, embed_dim=256, num_layers=10, num_heads=4, dropout=0.1, gradient_checkpointing=False, reward_classes=3)[source]#

Bases: ExportableAgentMixin, Module

GPT-like autoregressive Transformer for world modeling.

Models the dynamics of the environment by predicting, autoregressively over an interleaved sequence of frame tokens and actions:

  • Next frame tokens (transition model), one token at a time

  • Rewards

  • Episode termination

The sequence layout for S frames and S - 1 actions is:

z_0^1 ... z_0^K, a_0, z_1^1 ... z_1^K, a_1, ..., z_{S-2}^1 ... z_{S-2}^K,
a_{S-2}, z_{S-1}^1 ... z_{S-1}^K

A causal (lower-triangular) attention mask is always applied, so every position only attends to itself and preceding positions. The tokens of frame t + 1 are predicted starting from the action position a_t (which sees the whole of frame t and the action), then autoregressively from each previously predicted token of frame t + 1. This matches the paper’s

z_{t+1}^k ~ p(. | z_{<=t}, a_{<=t}, z_{t+1}^{<k})

Parameters:
  • vocab_size (int)

  • tokens_per_frame (int)

  • action_size (int)

  • embed_dim (int)

  • num_layers (int)

  • num_heads (int)

  • dropout (float)

  • gradient_checkpointing (bool)

  • reward_classes (int)

expected_reward(action_hidden)[source]#

Scalar reward prediction from an action-position hidden state.

With a categorical head this is the expectation under the predicted distribution over {-1, 0, +1} rather than an argmax, so the imagined return reflects the model’s uncertainty instead of committing to the modal class.

Parameters:

action_hidden (Tensor) – (…, embed_dim) hidden states at action positions.

Returns:

(…) scalar reward predictions.

Return type:

Tensor

gpt_blocks()[source]#

The transformer blocks, typed (nn.ModuleList erases the element type).

forward(tokens, actions)[source]#

Teacher-forced forward pass through the Transformer world model.

Parameters:

Returns:

Predictions of frames 1..S-1 (B, S-1, K, vocab_size). rewards: Predicted rewards r_0..r_{S-2} (B, S-1). terminations: Predicted terminations d_0..d_{S-2} (B, S-1, 2).

Return type:

token_logits

init_cache(batch_size, device, dtype=None)[source]#

Allocate an empty KV cache sized to this model’s context capacity.

Parameters:
  • batch_size (int)

  • device (device)

  • dtype (dtype | None)

Return type:

KVCache

prime_cache(tokens, actions, cache, start_pos=0)[source]#

Fill a cache with an interleaved (frame, action) history in one pass.

This is the “conditioning” phase of imagination: the real frames (and the actions taken between them) are pushed through the model so that subsequent single-position steps attend to the full history, exactly as the teacher-forced training sequence does.

Parameters:
  • tokens (Tensor) – Frame token grids (B, Tc, K).

  • actions (Tensor | None) – Actions following each frame. Pass Tc actions to end the primed sequence on an action (ready to generate the next frame), or Tc - 1 / None to end on the last frame’s tokens.

  • cache (KVCache) – Cache to fill; must be empty or positioned at start_pos.

  • start_pos (int) – Absolute position of the first embedded token.

Returns:

The absolute position just past the primed sequence.

Return type:

int

generate_frame_cached(action, cache, start_pos, sample=True, temperature=1.0)[source]#

Generate one frame’s K tokens incrementally, one position at a time.

The cache must already hold the history up to and including the current frame’s tokens. This appends the action, reads the reward/termination hidden state from that position, then autoregressively appends the K - 1 predicted tokens – K single-position forwards in total, rather than K full-sequence passes.

Returns:

Per-token logits (B, K, vocab). generated: Token indices (B, K). action_hidden: Hidden state at the action position (B, E). next_pos: Absolute position after the generated frame’s tokens.

Return type:

step_logits

Parameters:

  • cache (KVCache)

  • start_pos (int)

  • sample (bool)

  • temperature (float)

predict_next_tokens(tokens, actions)[source]#

Parameters:
  • tokens (Tensor) – Current frame tokens (B, K) or (B, H, W).

  • actions (Tensor) – Actions taken (B,).

Returns:

Next frame token logits (B, K, vocab_size). Their argmax

equals the greedily generated tokens.

action_hidden: Hidden states for reward prediction (B, embed_dim).

Return type:

token_logits

imagine_step(tokens, actions, sample=True, temperature=1.0)[source]#

Advance imagination one step: next frame tokens + the action hidden state.

Unlike predict_next_tokens() this can sample rather than take the argmax, and it returns the generated tokens directly so a rollout does not have to re-derive them from logits.

Parameters:
  • tokens (Tensor) – Current frame tokens (B, K) or (B, H, W).

  • actions (Tensor) – Actions taken (B,).

  • sample (bool) – If True, sample tokens from the predicted distribution.

  • temperature (float) – Sampling temperature (ignored when sample is False).

Returns:

Generated token indices (B, K). action_hidden: Hidden state at the action position (B, embed_dim),

the input expected by reward_head / termination_head.

Return type:

next_tokens

sample_next_tokens(tokens, actions, temperature=1.0)[source]#

Sample next tokens autoregressively from the distribution.

Parameters:
  • tokens (Tensor) – Current frame tokens (B, K) or (B, H, W).

  • actions (Tensor) – Actions taken (B,).

  • temperature (float) – Sampling temperature (higher = more random).

Returns:

Sampled token indices (B, K). log_probs: Log probabilities of sampled tokens (B, K).

Return type:

sampled_tokens

class synora.models.iris_transformer.IRISWorldModel(encoder, decoder, transformer)[source]#

Bases: ExportableAgentMixin, Module

Genie: Generative Interactive Environment.

A generative model trained from video-only data that can be used as an interactive environment. Contains three key components: 1. Video Tokenizer: Converts raw video frames into discrete tokens 2. Latent Action Model (LAM): Infers latent actions between frames 3. Dynamics Model: Predicts future frames given past frames and latent actions

Based on “Genie: Generative Interactive Environments” paper (arXiv:2402.15391).

Training follows two phases as per paper: 1. Train video tokenizer first (on video tokens) 2. Co-train LAM (from pixels) and dynamics model (on video tokens)

The LAM uses VQ-VAE training with: - Encoder: Takes x1:t and x_{t+1} → outputs latent actions - Decoder: Takes x1:t-1 (masked) + actions → reconstructs x_t - Auxiliary variance loss to prevent action collapse

At inference, latent actions are stopgrad’d when passed to dynamics model.

synora.models.genie.genie_kwargs_from_config(config)[source]#

Map a Genie config onto Genie constructor keyword arguments.

The config and constructor name several fields differently (for example tokenizer_encoder_depth -> encoder_depth), so filtering the config by parameter name silently drops them and builds those components at the constructor defaults. Every construction path goes through this mapping.

Parameters:
  • video_tokens (Tensor) – (B, T_new, N) tokens of the new frames. T_new may be larger than 1 only while the cache is empty (the prompt).

  • actions (Tensor) – (B, T_new) latent actions for those frames.

  • cache (STKVCache) – From init_cache(); its length is the index of the first new frame.

  • actions (Tensor) – (B, num_frames - 1) - latent actions for each transition. The action driving frame t -> t+1 is actions[:, t-1]. If fewer actions are supplied than transitions, the remainder are sampled at random.

  • num_frames (int) – Total number of frames to generate

  • temperature (float) – Sampling temperature

  • use_cache (bool) – Reuse the temporal keys/values of already generated frames (STKVCache) instead of re-running the transformer over the whole prefix for every frame.

class synora.models.diffusion.DDPM.DDPM(timesteps, beta_start, beta_end)[source]#

Bases: ExportableAgentMixin, Module

Utility module implementing forward and reverse DDPM diffusion steps.

synora.models.diffusion.DiT.sinusoidal_time_embedding(timesteps, dim, max_period=10000.0)[source]#

Create sinusoidal timestep embeddings for diffusion conditioning.

Math:

embedding[t] = [sin(t / P^(2i/d)), cos(t / P^(2i/d))] for i in [0, d/2)

Note the division by increasing powers of max_period: frequencies decay from 1 down to 1/max_period. Building them the other way round (ascending to max_period) makes the sine argument reach ~1e7 radians at t=999, which aliases so badly that adjacent timesteps receive near-orthogonal embeddings – the model then has to memorise every noise level instead of interpolating between them.

Parameters:
  • timesteps (Tensor) – Tensor of timesteps, shape (B,) or (B, 1)

  • dim (int) – Embedding dimension

  • max_period (float) – Longest sinusoid period; 10000 follows DDPM/ADM.

synora.models.diffusion.DiT.get_2d_sincos_pos_embed(embed_dim, grid_size)[source]#

Fixed 2D sine-cosine positional embeddings (ViT/DiT convention).

  • grid_size (int) – Tokens per side, i.e. input_size // patch_size.

Returns:

Bases: Module

Embed class labels, with dropout to a learned null token for guidance.

Classifier-free guidance (paper 3.1) needs the model to also score the unconditional distribution. That is obtained by randomly replacing the label with a learned “null” embedding during training, so the embedding table holds num_classes + 1 entries and index num_classes is the null token.

Parameters:
  • num_classes (int) – Number of real classes.

  • hidden_size (int) – Conditioning dimension.

  • dropout_prob (float) – Probability of dropping the label during training. 0 disables guidance support entirely.

class synora.models.diffusion.DiT.PatchEmbed(img_size, patch_size, in_channels, embed_dim, learnable_pos=False)[source]#

Bases: ExportableAgentMixin, Module

Patchify an image into a sequence of learnable patch tokens.

Used in Vision Transformers (ViT) and DiT to convert 2D images into sequences of token embeddings that can be processed by transformers.

Process:
  1. Conv2d with kernel_size=stride=patch_size extracts non-overlapping patches

  2. Each patch is projected to embed_dim via linear layer (Conv2d)

  3. Learnable positional embeddings are added for spatial information

Input: (B, C, H, W) images Output: (B, N, embed_dim) where N = (H/patch_size) * (W/patch_size)

Parameters:
  • img_size (int) – Image size (assumes square), e.g., 32 for CIFAR

  • patch_size (int) – Size of each patch (typically 4, 8, or 16)

  • in_channels (int) – Number of input channels (3 for RGB)

  • embed_dim (int) – Output dimension for each patch token

  • learnable_pos (bool)

Usage with DiT:

patch_embed = PatchEmbed(img_size=32, patch_size=4, in_channels=3, embed_dim=256) tokens = patch_embed(images) # (B, 64, 256) for 32x32 image with patch_size=4

class synora.models.diffusion.DiT.PatchUnEmbed(img_size, patch_size, embed_dim, out_channels)[source]#

Parameters:
  • img_size (int)

  • out_channels (int)

forward(x)[source]#
Parameters:

x (Tensor)

Return type:

Tensor

class synora.models.diffusion.DiT.TransformerBlock(d_model, n_heads, mlp_ratio, drop, t_dim=None)[source]#

Bases: Module

DiT block with adaLN-Zero conditioning (paper 3.2).

The conditioning vector – the sum of the timestep and class embeddings – is mapped by a single SiLU + Linear to six vectors per block: shift, scale and gate for each of the attention and MLP sub-layers. That is the 6x hidden output the paper specifies for adaLN-Zero (vanilla adaLN uses 4x because it has no gates).

The “-Zero” is the important half. The modulation layer is zero-initialised, so at step 0 every gate is 0 and the whole block is the identity function. Figure 5 shows this matters a lot: adaLN-Zero reaches roughly half the FID of in-context conditioning at 400K steps, and clearly beats vanilla adaLN, which is identical apart from the gates and their initialisation.

Normalisation is LayerNorm without affine parameters – the scale and shift come from the conditioning instead, so learned per-channel affines would be redundant.

Parameters:
  • d_model (int)

  • n_heads (int)

  • mlp_ratio (float)

  • drop (float)

  • t_dim (int | None)

“We apply the final layer norm (adaptive if using adaLN) and linearly decode each token into a p x p x 2C tensor”. Both the modulation and the linear decode are zero-initialised, so the model starts by predicting zero noise rather than an arbitrary field.

Parameters:
  • hidden_size (int)

  • patch_size (int)

  • out_channels (int)

forward(x, c)[source]#
Parameters:
  • x (Tensor)

  • c (Tensor)

class synora.models.diffusion.diamond_diffusion.TimestepEmbedding(dim, freq_dim=256, max_period=10000.0)[source]#

Bases: Module

Sinusoidal noise-level embedding followed by an MLP.

The input is EDM’s c_noise = log(sigma) / 4 (Appendix C, eq. 11), which ranges over several units either side of zero as sigma sweeps the schedule. A plain Linear(1, ...) on that scalar – the previous implementation, despite the docstring – gives the network a single monotone feature to condition on, so nearby noise levels are nearly indistinguishable after the first layer. The sinusoidal expansion used by every U-Net in this lineage spreads the scalar across freq_dim frequencies first, which is what makes the noise level a usable conditioning signal.

  • dim (int)

  • max_period (float)

class synora.models.diffusion.reward_termination.ResidualBlock(in_channels, out_channels, cond_dim=None)[source]#

Convolutional Variational Autoencoder (ConvVAE) implementation.

This module provides the ConvVAE model architecture for encoding and decoding images in the World Models framework. The VAE uses a convolutional encoder and decoder with a variational latent space.

class synora.vision.dreamer_encoder.ConvEncoder(input_shape, embed_size, activation, depth=32)[source]#

Bases: ExportableAgentMixin, Module

Convolutional observation encoder used by Dreamer world models.

This encoder transforms raw image observations (typically RGB frames from environments like Atari or DeepMind Control) into compact latent embeddings that can be processed by the RSSM (Recurrent State-Space Model).

  • Input: (B, C, H, W) raw images, values in [-0.5, 0.5]

  • Process: 4 convolutional layers with stride 2, halving spatial dimensions

  • Output: (B, embed_size) compact representation

The encoder uses a depth doubling pattern: 32 -> 64 -> 128 -> 256 channels. After convolutions, a fully connected layer projects from 1024 features to the desired embedding size.

Usage with Dreamer:

encoder = ConvEncoder(
    input_shape=(3, 64, 64),  # RGB 64x64 images
    embed_size=256,           # RSSM observation embedding size
    activation='relu'         # Activation function
)
obs_embedding = encoder(observation)  # (B, 256)
Parameters:
  • input_shape (tuple) – Tuple (C, H, W) for input images, typically (3, 64, 64)

  • embed_size (int) – Output embedding dimension, typically 256 or 1024

  • activation (str) – Activation function name (‘relu’, ‘elu’, ‘tanh’, etc.)

  • depth (int) – Base channel depth for first layer (default 32)

Parameters:

Return type:

class synora.vision.dreamer_decoder.TanhBijector[source]#

Bases: Transform

Bijective tanh transform for squashing Gaussian distributions to [-1, 1].

This transformation is essential for Dreamer’s action policy. Raw neural network outputs are Gaussian distributions over R^n, but actions in continuous control environments are typically bounded in [-1, 1]. The tanh bijector provides:

  1. Bijective mapping: tanh is invertible (with atanh as inverse)

  2. Stable log-det Jacobian: Computable for gradient-based training

  3. Clipped actions: During inference, actions are naturally bounded

  • Forward: y = tanh(x)

  • Inverse: x = atanh(y) = 0.5 * log((1+y)/(1-y))

  • Log-det: log|dy/dx| = 2*(log(2) - x - softplus(-2x))

Usage with Dreamer ActionDecoder:

dist = TransformedDistribution(
    Normal(mean, std),
    TanhBijector()
)
action = dist.sample()  # Bounded to [-1, 1]

class synora.vision.dreamer_decoder.ConvDecoder(stoch_size, deter_size, output_shape, activation, depth=32)[source]#

Bases: ExportableAgentMixin, Module

Convolutional decoder for reconstructing observations from latent states.

Part of Dreamer’s world model, this decoder reconstructs image observations from the combined stochastic (s) and deterministic (h) RSSM states.

  • Input: Concatenated [stoch_state, deter_state], shape (B, stoch+deter)

  • Process: Dense projection + 4 transposed convolutions (upsampling 2x each)

  • Output: Independent Normal distribution over observation pixels

The decoder mirrors the ConvEncoder’s structure but in reverse (transposed convs instead of regular convs). This creates a symmetric autoencoder where the encoder and decoder can be trained jointly to learn compressed representations.

Returns torch.distributions.Independent(Normal(mean, std), len(shape)) allowing log_prob(observation) computation for reconstruction loss.

Usage in Dreamer world model:

decoder = ConvDecoder(
    stoch_size=30,
    deter_size=200,
    output_shape=(3, 64, 64),  # RGB images
    activation='relu'
)
obs_dist = decoder(latent_features)  # Returns distribution
log_prob = obs_dist.log_prob(target_observation)

The reconstruction loss is -log_prob(observation), which encourages the RSSM to learn states that capture observation information.

Parameters:
  • stoch_size (int)

  • deter_size (int)

  • output_shape (tuple[int, ...])

  • activation (str)

  • depth (int)

Parameters:

Bases: ExportableAgentMixin, Module

MLP decoder for reward/value/discount prediction from latent features.

Part of Dreamer’s world model, this decoder predicts scalar quantities (rewards, values, discount factors) from RSSM latent states.

  • Input: [stoch_state, deter_state] concatenated, shape (B, stoch+deter)

  • Process: MLP with configurable layers and hidden units

  • Output: Predicted quantity with distribution (normal, binary, or raw)

Supports three output types: - 'normal': Gaussian distribution for regression (rewards, values) - 'binary': Bernoulli distribution for binary classification (discount) - 'none': Raw tensor for non-probabilistic outputs

Usage:

reward_decoder = DenseDecoder(
    stoch_size=30,
    deter_size=200,
    output_shape=(1,),
    n_layers=2,
    units=400,
    activation='elu',
    dist='normal'
)
reward_dist = reward_decoder(latent_features)
reward_loss = -reward_dist.log_prob(target_reward)

For discount prediction (binary):

discount_decoder = DenseDecoder(
    stoch_size=30,
    deter_size=200,
    output_shape=(1,),
    n_layers=2,

Return type:

mean_action(features)[source]#

Deterministic action tanh(mean) of the squashed Gaussian policy.

forward(deter=True) estimates the mode by drawing 100 samples and keeping the most likely, so it is random and ~100x the cost of one sample. This is the usual deployment choice instead: one pass, no randomness, and traceable by every exporter. It is not bit-identical to the Monte Carlo mode, so evaluation numbers can differ slightly.

decode_from_indices(indices, codebook)[source]#

Decode discrete token indices into images.

The codebook must be passed in explicitly – it is the quantizer’s table (IRISEncoder.quantizer.codebook), the only one the commitment and reconstruction losses train. This decoder previously owned a private index_to_embedding table that no objective ever touched, so decoding through it returned noise that looked plausible enough to go unnoticed.

Parameters:

synora.vision.vq_layer.restart_dead_codes(codebook, usage, z_flat, threshold)[source]#

Re-seed codebook entries that have fallen out of use.

Nearest-neighbour quantizers are prone to codebook collapse: a code that stops winning any assignment receives no further update and can never come back, so the effective vocabulary shrinks (visible as the perplexity metric dropping toward 1). The standard remedy is to periodically reset unused entries onto randomly drawn encoder outputs, which puts them back in a region of space where they can win assignments again.

Parameters:
  • codebook (Embedding) – The embedding table to modify in place.

  • usage (Tensor) – (vocab_size,) EMA of how often each code was selected. Under an EMA with decay d, this converges to the code’s mean assignments per step, so the threshold is interpretable in those units.

  • z_flat (Tensor) – (N, C) encoder outputs from the current batch, used as the pool of candidate re-seed locations.

  • threshold (float) – Codes with usage below this are considered dead. Values near 1.0 are far too aggressive for a full codebook – with V codes and roughly V assignments per step the mean usage is ~1, so half the book would be restarted every step. See DEFAULT_DEAD_CODE_THRESHOLD.

Returns:

(num_restarted, restarted_mask) – a scalar tensor counting the codes that were re-seeded, and the boolean mask identifying them. Callers that keep their own accumulators for the codebook (the EMA quantizer’s ema_embed_avg) need the mask: they cannot recover it afterwards by comparing usage against the threshold, because the restart deliberately lifts usage above it.

Return type:

tuple[Tensor, Tensor]

Bases: ExportableAgentMixin, Module

Video Tokenizer using VQ-VAE with Spatiotemporal Transformer.

This is a core component of Genie (Google DeepMind, 2024), used to compress raw video frames into discrete latent tokens that can be processed by downstream models like the LatentActionModel and DynamicsModel.

The tokenizer uses Vector Quantized Variational Autoencoder (VQ-VAE) objective to learn a discrete codebook of video representations. Unlike standard VQ-VAE, this uses a Spatiotemporal (ST) Transformer in both encoder and decoder to better capture temporal dynamics in videos.

Architecture

  1. Patch Embedding: Convert (B, C, T, H, W) video to patch tokens

  2. Encoder ST-Transformer: Process spatial-temporal patches

  3. Vector Quantization: Discretize continuous embeddings to codebook entries

  4. Decoder ST-Transformer: Reconstruct video from quantized tokens

  5. Patch Unembedding: Convert tokens back to video frames

Key Features

  • Causal processing: Each frame’s encoding only uses previous frames

  • Discrete tokens: Enables autoregressive prediction with latent actions

  • Memory efficient: Uses ST-Transformer instead of full ViT to reduce complexity

Usage with Genie:

tokenizer = VideoTokenizer(
    num_frames=16,
    image_size=64,
    patch_size=4,
    vocab_size=1024,
    embedding_dim=32
)
reconstructed, indices, loss_dict = tokenizer(video_frames)

# For discrete token input to dynamics model:
token_embeddings = tokenizer.decode_indices(indices)

The tokenizer is trained with VQ-VAE objective: - Reconstruction loss: MSE between input and reconstructed video - VQ loss: Commit to codebook embeddings - Commitment loss: Penalizes encoder outputs drifting from codebook

  • n_heads (int)

Parameters:

Return type:

class synora.blocks.st_transformer.STKVCache(num_layers, batch_size, num_heads, num_patches, head_dim, max_frames, device, dtype)[source]#

Bases: object

Per-layer temporal key/value cache for frame-by-frame generation.

In an ST-transformer, spatial attention and the MLP act within a frame and temporal attention is causal, so a frame’s activations never depend on later frames. Generating frame t+1 therefore only needs the temporal keys/values of frames 0..t - it does not have to re-run the network over the whole prefix. With the cache, each new frame costs one frame’s worth of compute instead of t frames’, turning an O(T^2) rollout into O(T).

Storage is a pre-allocated (B, heads, N, max_frames, head_dim) buffer per layer. Writes go to length onwards; advance() commits them. A forward that is not committed can be repeated (e.g. MaskGIT refinement of the same frame) and simply overwrites the same slots.

Parameters:
  • num_layers (int)

  • batch_size (int)

  • num_heads (int)

  • num_patches (int)

  • head_dim (int)

  • max_frames (int)

synora.configs.dit_config.canonical_dit_key(name)[source]#

Map a snake_case alias to its UPPER_CASE field name.

DiTConfig keeps the original DiT codebase’s UPPER_CASE field names, so dot-list overrides composed by the training entrypoint have to be translated before they reach the strict config loader. Names that are already canonical (or unknown) are returned unchanged.

Parameters:

name (str)

Return type:

str

synora.configs.dit_config.dit_preset_config(name, patch_size, **overrides)[source]#

Build a config for a named Table 1 model, e.g. dit_preset_config("DiT-XL", 2).

  • patch_size (int) – Latent patch size; the paper explores 2, 4 and 8.

  • **overrides (Any) – Further config fields, UPPER_CASE or snake_case.

Returns:

A DiTConfig for that model. Defaults target latent diffusion of 256x256 ImageNet: a 32x32x4 latent with 1000 classes.

Return type:

DiTConfig

synora.configs.dit_config.list_dit_presets()[source]#

synora.training.train_jepa.build_loss_fn(loss_type)[source]#

Return the prediction loss used to compare predictor and target tokens.

The I-JEPA paper (Sec. 3) defines the objective as the squared L2 distance between predicted and target patch representations, averaged over the M target blocks. Two reductions of that same objective are offered:

  • "l2" (default) averages the squared error over patches and channels as well. It has the same minimizer and the same gradient direction as the paper’s formula, but a magnitude that does not grow with block size – which is what the paper’s learning rates were tuned against, since the reference implementation also reduces by mean.

  • "l2_sum" is the literal formula: summed over patches within a block, averaged over blocks. Its gradients are larger than "l2"’s by roughly the number of patches times the embedding dimension, so lower the learning rate accordingly.

"smooth_l1" reproduces the reference implementation, which uses Smooth-L1 rather than the paper’s L2.

Parameters:

loss_type (str)

Return type:

Any

synora.training.train_jepa.main(args=None, resume_preempt=False)[source]#

Run JEPA training using a CLI argv, nested dict, or JEPAConfig instance.

This entrypoint initializes distributed context, data pipeline, masking, models, optimizers/schedulers, checkpointing, and the full epoch loop.

Parameters:
  • args (Any)

  • resume_preempt (bool)

Return type:

Any

synora.training.train_jepa.sweep_train()[source]#

Function for WandB sweep agent.

Return type:

None

synora.training.train_jepa.main_from_cli(argv=None)[source]#

Parameters:

argv (list[str] | None)

Return type:

Any

synora.training.train_iris.default_collect_temperature(game, configured)[source]#

Collection sampling temperature, applying the paper’s Freeway exception.

Only overrides a temperature left at the default of 1.0, so an explicit setting in a config file or CLI override still wins.

Parameters:
  • game (str)

  • configured (float)

Return type:

float

class synora.training.train_iris.IRISTrainer(game='ALE/Pong-v5', device='cuda', seed=42, config=None, env=None)[source]#

Bases: object

Training loop for IRIS on Atari 100k benchmark.

Parameters:
  • game (str)

  • device (str)

  • seed (int)

  • config (IRISConfig | None)

  • env (Any | None)

preprocess_frame(frame)[source]#

Preprocess frame: resize to 64x64, return CHW uint8.

Frames are kept as uint8 because that is the dtype of the replay buffer (IRISReplayBuffer.observations). Returning floats in [0, 1] here silently truncated every pixel to 0 on insertion, so the world model and policy trained exclusively on black images. Normalisation to [0, 1] happens at consumption time via to_float_tensor().

Parameters:

frame (ndarray)

Return type:

ndarray

to_float_tensor(obs)[source]#

Convert a uint8 CHW frame (or batch) to a float tensor in [0, 1].

Parameters:

obs (ndarray)

Return type:

Tensor

collect_experience(num_steps, epsilon=0.01)[source]#

Collect exactly num_steps environment steps (paper Algorithm 1).

The step count is exact because the Atari 100k budget is defined in environment steps: collection_epochs * env_steps_per_epoch must equal 100k. Episodes span epochs, so the environment, the policy’s LSTM state and the running episode return all persist between calls and are reset only on a real episode boundary.

Two details follow the paper rather than convenience:

  • Frames are passed through the discrete autoencoder before reaching the policy (A.1), because the policy is trained purely on reconstructions.

  • The LSTM state is threaded across steps (A.3); the policy is recurrent and a per-step reset would leave it unable to perceive motion.

Parameters:
  • num_steps (int) – Exact number of environment steps to collect

  • epsilon (float) – Random action probability

Returns:

Mean return of episodes that finished during this call, or the most recently completed episode’s return if none finished.

Return type:

float

train_epoch(epoch)[source]#

Train for one epoch.

Parameters:

epoch (int) – Current epoch number

Returns:

Dictionary of metrics

Return type:

dict

get_epsilon(epoch)[source]#

Exploration epsilon for collection.

Paper Table 5 uses a fixed epsilon-greedy parameter of 0.01 combined with sampling from the policy, rather than the decaying schedule most Atari 100k baselines use (Appendix H discusses the tradeoff). A decaying schedule starting near-random makes the early world model fit a data distribution the policy never revisits.

Parameters:

epoch (int)

Return type:

float

evaluate(num_episodes=100, render=False)[source]#

Evaluate agent performance.

Parameters:
  • num_episodes (int) – Number of evaluation episodes

  • render (bool) – If True, also return video frames and per-step latent vectors

Returns:

dict with evaluation metrics If render is True: tuple (episode_returns_array, videos_list, latents_array)

Return type:

If render is False (default)

Parameters:
  • total_epochs (int | None) – Total training epochs

  • eval_interval (int) – Evaluate every N epochs

Each entry in video_paths may be:

  • a .npy / .npz array of shape (T, H, W, C) or (C, T, H, W)

  • a .pt / .pth tensor of the same layouts

  • a video file (.mp4, .avi, .mkv, .webm, .mov) loaded with OpenCV when opencv-python is installed (the viz extra)

Frames are uniformly sampled to num_frames and resized to image_size.

Returns:

Dictionary of validation metrics

Return type:

Dict[str, Tensor]

validate_epoch(val_dataloader)[source]#

Mean held-out reconstruction loss over the whole validation loader.

validate scores a single batch, which is far too noisy to drive a plateau test – the batch-to-batch spread swamps the epoch-to-epoch trend, so early stopping on it would fire on noise. Averaging over the loader gives a comparable number per validation.

Parameters:

val_dataloader (DataLoader)

Return type:

float

  • val_dataloader (DataLoader | None) – Validation data loader (optional)

  • num_steps (int | None) – Number of training steps (uses config.max_steps if None)

  • log_interval (int) – Logging frequency

  • val_interval (int) – Validation frequency

  • checkpoint_dir (str | None) – Where periodic checkpoints go. Without it nothing is written until the caller saves, so a run killed by a timeout, an OOM or Ctrl+C leaves nothing behind.

Memory and controllers#

class synora.memory.dreamer_memory.ReplayBuffer(size, obs_shape, action_size, seq_len, batch_size)[source]#

Bases: object

Fixed-size replay buffer for Dreamer with image observations and transitions.

Stores (observation, action, reward, terminal) tuples in a ring buffer and supports sampling contiguous sequences for world-model training.

Key Features

  • Ring buffer with fixed capacity (FIFO eviction when full)

  • Stores raw uint8 images to save memory

  • Samples sequences (not single transitions) for temporal modeling

  • Validates sampled sequences don’t span episode boundaries

Memory Layout

  • observations: (capacity, C, H, W) uint8 images

  • actions: (capacity, action_dim) float32

  • rewards: (capacity,) float32

  • terminals: (capacity,) float32 (1.0 = terminal, 0.0 = continue)

Sampling Process

  1. Random start index (avoiding episode boundaries)

  2. Collect sequence of length seq_len with wraparound

  3. Validate no terminal in middle of sequence

  4. Return batch of sequences

Usage with Dreamer:

buffer = ReplayBuffer(
    size=100000,           # Max transitions to store
    obs_shape=(3, 64, 64), # RGB images
    action_size=6,         # Continuous action dim
    seq_len=50,            # Sequence length for training
    batch_size=50          # Parallel sequences per batch
)

# Add transitions during interaction
buffer.add(obs, action, reward, done)

# Sample batch for world model training
obs_batch, action_batch, reward_batch, term_batch = buffer.sample()

Memory Efficiency

  • Uses uint8 for images (1 byte per pixel vs 4 for float32)

  • Sequences share observations (overlapping windows)

  • Configurable capacity based on available system memory

Note

The buffer stores observations as {“image”: …} dicts but returns just the image arrays for training efficiency.

Parameters:
  • size (int)

  • obs_shape (Tuple[int, ...])

  • action_size (int)

  • seq_len (int)

  • batch_size (int)

Parameters:
  • obs (dict) – Observation dict with ‘image’ key containing the observation

  • ac (ndarray) – Action taken, shape (action_size,)

  • rew (float) – Reward received, scalar

  • done (float) – Episode-boundary flag, 1.0 if the episode ended for any reason (termination or truncation), 0.0 otherwise

  • terminated (float | None) – 1.0 only if the environment genuinely terminated. Defaults to done when the caller cannot tell the two apart.

Return type:

None

sample(include_terminated=False)[source]#

Replay buffer for IRIS (Imagination with auto-Regression over an Inner Speech) training.

Stores (observation, action, reward, terminal) tuples in a ring buffer and supports sampling contiguous sequences for world model training.

Features:
  • Ring buffer with fixed capacity (FIFO eviction when full)

  • Samples sequences with validation to avoid episode boundaries

  • Supports sequence sampling for temporal learning

Memory Layout:

sample_with_burn_in(batch_size, burn_in)[source]#

Sample start frames together with the frames that precede them.

IRIS burns in the previous frames to initialise the actor-critic’s LSTM state before imagining from a given frame (paper A.3). This returns both halves so the caller does not have to reason about buffer indexing.

Episode boundaries are respected: any burn-in frame at or before a terminal is replaced by a repeat of the oldest valid frame, so context never bleeds across episodes.

Parameters:
  • batch_size (int) – Number of start frames to draw.

  • burn_in (int) – Number of preceding frames to return per start frame.

Returns:

(batch_size, C, H, W) uint8 frames to imagine from. burn_in_obs: (batch_size, burn_in, C, H, W) uint8 preceding frames.

Empty along axis 1 when burn_in is 0.

RSSM-based policy for model-predictive control.

This module provides the RSSMPolicy class that implements model-predictive control using the RSSM (Recurrent State Space Model) latent dynamics model. The policy uses a Cross-Entropy Method (CEM) for planning actions in latent space.

Reference:

Ha & Schmidhuber (2018). Recurrent World Models Facilitate Policy Evolution. https://arxiv.org/abs/1805.11111

class synora.controller.rssm_policy.RSSMPolicy(model, planning_horizon, num_candidates, num_iterations, top_candidates, device, compile_rollout=False)[source]#

Bases: object

Model-predictive controller using Cross-Entropy Method (CEM) with RSSM.

Plans actions by optimizing a sequence of future actions in the RSSM’s latent space. Uses Cross-Entropy Method to refine action sequences based on predicted returns.

The policy uses a Cross-Entropy Method style loop: it samples candidate action sequences, rolls them forward in latent space, scores predicted returns, and refits a Gaussian proposal to top-performing candidates.

Algorithm:
  1. Initialize Gaussian distribution over action sequences

  2. Sample N candidate action sequences

  3. Rollout each sequence in RSSM latent space

  4. Score by predicted cumulative rewards

  5. Keep top K candidates, fit Gaussian to them

  6. Repeat for T iterations

  7. Execute first action from best sequence

Variables:
  • rssm – The RSSM world model.

  • N – Number of candidate action sequences to sample.

  • K – Number of top candidates to use for updating the proposal.

  • T – Number of CEM iterations per planning step.

  • H – Planning horizon (number of future steps to consider).

  • d – Action dimensionality.

  • device – Device to run computations on.

  • state_size – Hidden state dimensionality.

  • latent_size – Latent state dimensionality.

Parameters:
  • model (Any)

  • planning_horizon (int)

  • num_candidates (int)

  • num_iterations (int)

  • top_candidates (int)

  • device (device | str)

class synora.controller.iris_policy.IRISActor(action_size, hidden_size=512, num_layers=4, frame_shape=(3, 64, 64))[source]#

Bases: ExportableAgentMixin, Module

Actor network for the IRIS (Imagination with auto-Regression over an Inner Speech) policy.

Takes reconstructed frames as input and outputs action logits for policy control. Uses a CNN feature extractor followed by an LSTM for temporal processing. Supports a burn-in mechanism for initializing the hidden state with context frames.

This standalone actor owns its own CNN and LSTM. (When actor and critic share a backbone, as in the paper, that sharing is done at the IRISAgent level, which builds a single CNN + LSTM feeding separate actor/critic heads.)

Architecture:
  • CNN: Extracts features from input frames (3x64x64 -> 512)

  • LSTM: Processes temporal sequences with configurable layers

  • Linear: Maps hidden states to action logits

Parameters:
  • action_size (int) – Number of discrete actions.

  • hidden_size (int) – LSTM hidden state size (default: 512).

  • num_layers (int) – Number of LSTM layers (default: 4).

  • frame_shape (tuple) – Shape of input frames as (C, H, W) (default: (3, 64, 64)).

Variables:

  • hidden_size (int) – LSTM hidden state size.

  • num_layers (int) – Number of LSTM layers.

  • frame_shape (tuple) – Input frame shape.

forward(frames, hidden_state=None, burn_in_frames=None)[source]#

class synora.controller.iris_policy.IRISCritic(hidden_size=512, num_layers=4, frame_shape=(3, 64, 64))[source]#

Bases: ExportableAgentMixin, Module

Critic network for IRIS value estimation.

Estimates the value function for given frame sequences. It uses the same architecture as the actor (CNN feature extractor + LSTM) and a value head that predicts expected cumulative rewards. This standalone critic instantiates its own CNN and LSTM; backbone sharing between actor and critic is handled at the IRISAgent level, not here.

Architecture:
  • CNN: Feature extractor with the same architecture as the actor (3x64x64 -> 512)

  • LSTM: Temporal processing with same architecture as actor

  • Linear: Maps hidden states to scalar values

Parameters:
  • hidden_size (int) – LSTM hidden state size (default: 512).

  • num_layers (int) – Number of LSTM layers (default: 4).

  • frame_shape (tuple) – Shape of input frames as (C, H, W) (default: (3, 64, 64)).

Variables:
  • hidden_size (int) – LSTM hidden state size.

  • num_layers (int) – Number of LSTM layers.

class synora.controller.iris_policy.CNNFeatureExtractor(frame_shape=(3, 64, 64), output_size=512, channels=(32, 64, 128, 256))[source]#

Bases: ExportableAgentMixin, Module

CNN feature extractor shared between actor and critic networks.

Reproduces the convolutional block of the IRIS actor-critic (paper A.3):

“The convolutional block consists of the same layer repeated four times: a 3x3 convolution with stride 1 and padding 1, a ReLU activation, and 2x2 max-pooling with stride 2.”

Downsampling is therefore done by max-pooling, not by strided convolution. Both reach 64 -> 4 spatially, but max-pooling keeps a full-resolution convolution before each reduction and selects the strongest activation in each window, which preserves small bright objects (the ball in Pong, a bullet) that a stride-2 convolution can skip over entirely.

The paper does not state the channel widths; 32 -> 64 -> 128 -> 256 is kept from the previous implementation.

Parameters:
  • frame_shape (tuple) – Shape of input frames as (C, H, W) (default: (3, 64, 64)).

  • output_size (int) – Size of output feature vector (default: 512).

  • channels (tuple) – Per-layer output channel counts.

Variables:
  • frame_shape (tuple) – Input frame shape.

Return type:

Any

class synora.envs.mujoco_env.MuJoCoImageEnv(xml_path=None, *, xml_string=None, binary_path=None, assets=None, seed=0, size=(64, 64), camera=None, reward_fn=None, terminal_fn=None, frame_skip=1, reset_noise_scale=0.0, default_control_range=(-1.0, 1.0), include_state=False)[source]#

Bases: object

Native MuJoCo environment adapter for pixel-based world-model training.

The adapter uses the low-level mujoco Python package directly: models are compiled from MJCF XML strings/files or MJB binaries via mujoco.MjModel; simulation state lives in mujoco.MjData; actions are written to data.ctrl; and images are produced with mujoco.Renderer. Observations follow Synora’s Dreamer-style contract: a dict with required key "image" containing uint8[C, H, W] frames.

Native MuJoCo models do not define task rewards or episode termination by themselves, so callers can supply reward_fn and terminal_fn callbacks. By default, rewards are 0.0 and episodes terminate only through external wrappers such as TimeLimit.

Parameters:
  • xml_path (str | Path | None)

  • xml_string (str | None)

  • binary_path (str | Path | None)

  • assets (dict[str, bytes] | None)

  • seed (int)

  • size (tuple[int, int])

Atari preprocessing helpers#

These helpers wrap Atari environments for specific training recipes. They are not separate environment families.

class synora.envs.diamond_atari.DiamondAtariWrapper(env, frameskip=4, max_noop=30, terminate_on_life_loss=True, reward_clip=True, resize=(64, 64), seed=None)[source]#

Bases: object

Atari wrapper for DIAMOND following the paper specifications: - frameskip: number of frames to skip (default 4) - max_noop: maximum number of noop actions at reset (default 30) - terminate_on_life_loss: terminate episode when life is lost (default True) - reward_clip: clip rewards to [-1, 0, 1] (default True) - resize: resize observations to specified size (default 64x64)

Parameters:
  • env (Any)

  • frameskip (int)

  • max_noop (int)

  • terminate_on_life_loss (bool)

  • reward_clip (bool)

  • resize (Optional[Tuple[int, int]])

  • seed (int | None)

seed(seed=None)[source]#
Parameters:

seed (int | None)

Return type:

None

close()[source]#

Release the underlying environment.

Callers reasonably expect the gym close() contract, and without this the usual env.close() teardown raises AttributeError.

Return type:

None

render(*args, **kwargs)[source]#

Forward rendering to the wrapped environment.

Parameters:
  • args (Any)

  • kwargs (Any)

Return type:

Any

step(action)[source]#

Step the environment.

For backwards compatibility with older gym APIs this wrapper returns a 4-tuple: (obs, reward, done, info). Internally it supports gymnasium’s 5-tuple and collapses (terminated, truncated) into a single done bool.

info["terminated"] and info["truncated"] stay separate: done ends the episode either way, but only terminated is a genuine episode end and therefore the correct target for the termination head and the correct place to cut the lambda-return’s bootstrap.

Parameters:

action (int)

Return type:

Any

reset(**kwargs)[source]#
Parameters:

kwargs (Any)

Return type:

Tuple[Any, Dict[str, Any]]

synora.envs.diamond_atari.make_diamond_atari_env(game, frameskip=4, max_noop=30, terminate_on_life_loss=True, reward_clip=True, resize=(64, 64), seed=None)[source]#

Create a DIAMOND-compatible Atari environment.

Parameters:
  • game (str) – Atari game name. Accepts either the bare "Breakout-v5" or the namespaced "ALE/Breakout-v5"; the ALE/ prefix is added when missing. DIAMOND checkpoints store the bare form, so requiring the namespaced one here would make them unloadable.

  • frameskip (int) – Number of frames to skip between actions

  • max_noop (int) – Maximum number of noop actions at reset

  • terminate_on_life_loss (bool) – Whether to terminate on life loss

  • reward_clip (bool) – Whether to clip rewards to [-1, 0, 1]

  • resize (Tuple[int, int]) – Target size for observations

  • seed (int | None) – Random seed

Returns:

Configured Atari environment

Return type:

DiamondAtariWrapper

synora.datasets.diamond_dataset.to_model_domain(frames)[source]#

Map uint8 pixels in [0, 255] to the diffusion model’s domain, [-1, 1].

DIAMOND fixes sigma_data = 0.5 (Appendix C), which is the standard deviation of the data distribution. The EDM preconditioners c_in, c_out and c_skip (eqs. 9-12) are derived on the assumption that the data is centred and has that spread. Frames scaled to [0, 1] have mean ~0.5 and a standard deviation well under 0.5, so every preconditioner is miscalibrated and the network’s input/output no longer sit at unit variance. Centring on [-1, 1] restores the assumption the paper’s constant was chosen under.

Parameters:

frames (Tensor)

Return type:

Tensor

synora.datasets.diamond_dataset.to_pixel_domain(frames)[source]#

Inverse of to_model_domain(): [-1, 1] -> [0, 1] for display/logging.

Parameters:

frames (Tensor)

Parameters:
  • done (bool) – True when the environment terminated (game over, or a life lost when terminate_on_life_loss is set). This is the target for R_psi’s termination head.

  • truncated (bool) – True when the episode ended for an external reason such as a time limit. Recorded only so sequence sampling can avoid spanning the boundary.

  • obs (ndarray)

  • action (int)

  • reward (float)

  • next_obs (ndarray)

Return type:

None

class synora.datasets.diamond_dataset.SequenceDataset(replay_buffer, sequence_length=5, burn_in=4)[source]#

Bases: Dataset

PyTorch Dataset for sampling sequences from the replay buffer. Used for training the diffusion world model.

Sequences never straddle an episode boundary. The replay buffer is a flat ring of transitions, so a window spanning a done splices the end of one episode onto the start of the next – the world model would then be asked to predict the first frame of a fresh episode from the last frames of the previous one, a transition the environment never produces.

Parameters:
  • replay_buffer (ReplayBuffer)

  • sequence_length (int)

  • burn_in (int)

This module provides utility classes for training neural networks including early stopping and learning rate scheduling.

class synora.utils.train_utils.EarlyStopping(mode='min', patience=10, threshold=0.0001, threshold_mode='rel')[source]#

Bases: object

Early stopping handler to stop training when validation metric stops improving.

This class monitors a validation metric and stops training when no improvement is seen for a specified number of epochs (patience). This helps prevent overfitting and reduces unnecessary computation.

Parameters:

  • threshold_mode (str) – One of ‘rel’ or ‘abs’. In ‘rel’ mode, dynamic threshold is relative to best value; in ‘abs’ mode, it’s absolute.

Variables:

stop – Property that returns True if training should stop.

Example

>>> early_stopping = EarlyStopping(mode='min', patience=10)
>>> for epoch in range(100):
...     val_loss = validate()
...     early_stopping.step(val_loss)

Bases: object

Reduce learning rate when a metric stops improving.

This scheduler reduces the learning rate by a factor when a validation metric stops improving for a specified number of epochs. This helps models converge better by reducing the step size as they approach optimal weights.

Parameters:

  • patience (int) – Number of epochs with no improvement after which to reduce lr.

  • threshold (float) – Minimum change to qualify as an improvement.

  • threshold_mode (str) – One of ‘rel’ or ‘abs’.

  • min_lr (float) – Minimum learning rate to reduce to.

  • eps (float) – Minimum decay for lr.

Variables:

lr – Current learning rates for each parameter group.

Example

synora.utils.memory_utils.enable_performance_defaults(*, tf32=True, cudnn_benchmark=True)[source]#

Turn on the CUDA throughput settings Synora trainers expect.

Call this once at the start of a training run. It is deliberately explicit and not applied on import, because both settings trade something away:

cudnn_benchmark autotunes convolution algorithms on first sight of each input shape. That is a large win for fixed-shape training and a loss for workloads whose shapes keep changing, and the autotuner’s choice is not guaranteed stable run to run.

tf32 lets matmuls and convolutions use TensorFloat-32 on Ampere and later: same exponent range as float32, but a 10-bit mantissa. For model-based RL and vision training this is the standard setting and costs no measurable quality, but it is not bit-reproducible against a float32 baseline - leave it off for numerics regression work.

Both are no-ops without CUDA, so this is safe to call unconditionally.

Parameters:
  • tf32 (bool)

  • cudnn_benchmark (bool)

Return type:

None

synora.utils.memory_utils.optimize_memory_efficient_ops()[source]#

Deprecated alias for enable_performance_defaults().

The old name also set cudnn.deterministic = False globally, which silently overrode any determinism a caller had asked for.

Return type:

None

synora.utils.memory_utils.maybe_compile(module_or_fn, *, enabled=False, mode='reduce-overhead')[source]#

Optionally wrap a callable in torch.compile.

RSSM rollouts and CEM planning are sequences of very small kernels driven by a Python loop, so they are launch-bound rather than FLOP-bound; compiling the step collapses that overhead. It is off by default because compilation costs seconds to minutes on first call, recompiles whenever an input shape changes, and is unavailable on some builds - none of which a short run or a test wants to pay for.

Falls back to the eager callable if compilation is unsupported, so callers never need to guard. torch.compile is lazy: a missing backend (for example no Triton on a Windows CUDA build) surfaces on the first call, not when wrapping, so the fallback also covers that first call. Once a compiled call has succeeded, later errors propagate unchanged - by then they are genuine errors, not a missing backend.

An nn.Module is compiled by swapping its instance forward, so the module object, its attributes and its state_dict keys are unchanged. (torch.compile(module) would return an OptimizedModule whose keys gain an _orig_mod. prefix, and checkpoints written from it would not load into an uncompiled model.)

Parameters:
  • module_or_fn (Any)

  • enabled (bool)

  • mode (str)

Return type:

Any

synora.utils.memory_utils.to_channels_last(model)[source]#

Convert a conv-heavy model to NHWC memory format.

This is a layout change only - values are untouched - but it lets cuDNN pick NHWC tensor-core kernels for convolutions instead of transposing on every call. Inputs must be converted to match; mixing layouts silently costs more than it saves.

Parameters:

model (Module)

Return type:

Module

class synora.utils.utils.Mp4Writer(path, fps, size)[source]#

Bases: object

Write BGR uint8 frames to a browser-playable MP4.

Browsers only decode H.264 in MP4, but OpenCV’s mp4v fourcc produces MPEG-4 Part 2, which no browser plays. Backends are tried in order:

  1. imageio-ffmpeg (bundled ffmpeg, libx264, yuv420p, faststart) - H.264 on every platform. Installed by the viz extra.

  2. OpenCV avc1 - H.264 where the OpenCV build has an encoder (typically Windows/macOS; usually not pip wheels on Linux).

  3. OpenCV mp4v - always available, but not browser-playable; a warning is emitted.

Parameters:
  • path (str) – output .mp4 path

  • fps (float) – frames per second

  • size (tuple[int, int]) – (width, height) of every frame
