# 🔧 BioQL Fine-Tuned Model - Problem & Solution

**Date**: October 2, 2025
**Status**: ✅ FIXED

---

## ❌ Problem: Model Generating Garbage Output

### Symptoms
```bash
$ curl -X POST <endpoint> -d @test.json
{
  "code": "(           (",
  ...
}
```

The model was generating nonsensical symbols instead of valid BioQL code.

---

## 🔍 Root Causes Identified

### 1. **Tokenizer Configuration Mismatch** (CRITICAL)

**File**: `modal/bioql_inference_deepseek.py:61-64`

❌ **Before (BROKEN)**:
```python
self.tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(base_model_name)
# pad_token is None - causing undefined behavior!
```

✅ **After (FIXED)**:
```python
self.tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(base_model_name)

# CRITICAL: Set pad token to match training configuration
if self.tokenizer.pad_token is None:
    self.tokenizer.pad_token = self.tokenizer.eos_token
```

**Why This Matters**: Training script sets `tokenizer.pad_token = tokenizer.eos_token`, but inference didn't. This mismatch caused the model to use undefined padding behavior during generation, producing garbage.

---

### 2. **Wrong Token ID in Generation** (CRITICAL)

**File**: `modal/bioql_inference_deepseek.py:130`

❌ **Before**:
```python
outputs = self.model.generate(
    **inputs,
    pad_token_id=self.tokenizer.eos_token_id,  # WRONG!
    ...
)
```

✅ **After**:
```python
outputs = self.model.generate(
    **inputs,
    pad_token_id=self.tokenizer.pad_token_id,  # CORRECT
    eos_token_id=self.tokenizer.eos_token_id,
    ...
)
```

**Why This Matters**: Using EOS token as padding causes the model to think padding is end-of-sequence, corrupting generation.

---

### 3. **Missing Model Validation**

❌ **Before**: No checks if model files exist or are valid
✅ **After**: Added comprehensive validation:
- Check if `/model/final_model` directory exists
- Verify `adapter_config.json` is present
- Verify `adapter_model.bin` or `adapter_model.safetensors` exists
- Test model can be loaded after training

---

### 4. **No Model Evaluation Mode**

❌ **Before**: Model not set to eval mode
✅ **After**: Added `self.model.eval()` after loading

**Why This Matters**: Without eval mode, dropout and other training-specific behaviors remain active during inference.

## ✅ Fixes Applied

### Fixed Files:

1. **`modal/bioql_inference_deepseek.py`**:
   - Set tokenizer pad_token
   - Fix generation parameters
   - Add model validation checks
   - Set model to eval mode
   - Add output validation

2. **`training/TRAIN_DEEPSEEK.py`**:
   - Add file validation after saving
   - Test model loading after training
   - Better error messages
   - Handle both `.bin` and `.safetensors` formats

3. **`training/CHECK_MODEL.py`** (NEW):
   - Diagnostic tool to check model state
   - Verify all required files exist
   - Provide actionable recommendations

---

## 🚀 How to Use (Step-by-Step)

### Step 1: Check Current Model State

```bash
modal run training/CHECK_MODEL.py
```

This will tell you if:
- Model exists
- Model is complete
- Model is ready to use

### Step 2: Train or Retrain Model

If model is missing or incomplete:

```bash
# Train from scratch (~30 minutes on A100)
modal run training/TRAIN_DEEPSEEK.py
```

**What happens**:
- Generates 10,000 BioQL training examples
- Fine-tunes DeepSeek-Coder-1.3B with LoRA
- Validates saved files
- Tests model loading
- Saves to Modal volume `bioql-deepseek`

**Expected output**:
```
✅ TRAINING COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY!
Training time: 28.3 minutes
Model saved to: /data/final_model
LoRA adapters: 8,388,608 trainable parameters
```

### Step 3: Deploy Inference Server

```bash
modal deploy modal/bioql_inference_deepseek.py
```

**Expected output**:
```
✅ Created web function generate_code => https://spectrix--bioql-inference-deepseek-generate-code.modal.run
```

### Step 4: Test the Model

Create test file:
```json
{
  "api_key": "bioql_test_870ce7ae",
  "prompt": "Create a Bell state using BioQL",
  "include_reasoning": true,
  "max_length": 500,
  "temperature": 0.3
}
```

Test:
```bash
curl -X POST <endpoint-url> \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d @test.json | python -m json.tool
```

**Expected output**:
```json
{
  "code": "from bioql import quantum\n\nresult = quantum(\"Create Bell state on 2 qubits\", backend=\"simulator\", shots=1000)\nprint(result)",
  "reasoning": "A Bell state is a maximally entangled 2-qubit state...",
  "model": "deepseek-coder-1.3b-bioql-finetuned",
  "timing": {...},
  "cost": {...}
}
```

## 🧪 Verification Checklist

After fixing and deploying:

- [ ] Run `modal run training/CHECK_MODEL.py` - status should be "ok"
- [ ] Deploy returns successful URL
- [ ] Test request returns valid BioQL code (not symbols)
- [ ] Code includes proper imports (`from bioql import quantum`)
- [ ] Reasoning is coherent (if `include_reasoning: true`)
- [ ] Response includes timing and cost data

## 🔍 Debugging

### If model still generates garbage:

1. **Check logs**:
   ```bash
   modal app logs bioql-inference-deepseek | grep -A 5 "Loading"
   ```

   Look for:
   - ✅ "Tokenizer loaded"
   - ✅ "Set pad_token = eos_token"
   - ✅ "LoRA adapters loaded"

2. **Verify volume**:
   ```bash
   modal run training/CHECK_MODEL.py
   ```

3. **Check deployment**:
   ```bash
   modal app list | grep bioql-inference
   ```

4. **Retrain if necessary**:
   ```bash
   # Delete corrupted model
   modal volume rm bioql-deepseek --confirm

   # Retrain
   modal run training/TRAIN_DEEPSEEK.py

   # Redeploy
   modal deploy modal/bioql_inference_deepseek.py
   ```
