# Strand-Rust-Coder-14B-v1

## Overview

**Strand-Rust-Coder-14B-v1** is the first domain-specialized Rust language model created through **Fortytwo’s Swarm Inference**, a decentralized AI architecture where multiple models collaboratively generate, validate, and rank outputs through peer consensus.

The model fine-tunes **Qwen2.5-Coder-14B** for Rust-specific programming tasks using a **191K-example synthetic dataset** built via multi-model generation and peer-reviewed validation.  
It achieves **43–48% accuracy** on Rust-specific benchmarks – surpassing much larger proprietary models like GPT-5 Codex on Rust tasks – while maintaining competitive general coding performance.

## Key Features

- **Rust-specialized fine-tuning** on 15 diverse programming task categories  
- **Peer-validated synthetic dataset** (191,008 verified examples, 94.3% compile rate)  
- **LoRA-based fine-tuning** for efficient adaptation  
- **Benchmarked across Rust-specific suites:**
  - **RustEvo^2**  
  - **Evaluation on Hold-Out Set**
- **Deployed in the Fortytwo decentralized inference network** for collective AI reasoning

## Task Breakdown

| Task | Base | Strand-14B |
|------|------|-------------|
| test_generation | 0.00 | 0.51 |
| api_usage_prediction | 0.27 | 0.71 |
| function_naming | 0.53 | 0.87 |
| code_refactoring | 0.04 | 0.19–0.20 |
| variable_naming | 0.87 | 1.00 |
| code_generation | 0.40 | 0.49 |

Largest improvements appear in *test generation*, *API usage prediction*, and *refactoring* – areas demanding strong semantic reasoning about Rust’s ownership and lifetime rules.

## Dataset

**Fortytwo-Network/Strandset-Rust-v1 (191,008 examples, 15 categories)**  
Built through Fortytwo’s *Swarm Inference* pipeline, where multiple SLMs generate and cross-validate examples with peer review consensus and output aggregation.

- 94.3% compile success rate  
- 73.2% consensus acceptance  
- Coverage of 89% of Rust language features  
- Tasks include:
  - `code_generation`, `code_completion`, `bug_detection`, `refactoring`, `optimization`
  - `docstring_generation`, `code_review`, `summarization`, `test_generation`
  - `naming`, `API usage prediction`, `search`  

Dataset construction involved 2,383 crates from crates.io, automatic compilation tests, and semantic validation of ownership and lifetime correctness.

## Model Architecture

- **Base:** Qwen2.5-Coder (14 B parameters, GQA attention, extended RoPE embeddings)  
- **Tokenizer:** 151 k vocabulary optimized for Rust syntax  
- **Context:** 32 k tokens  
- **Fine-tuning:** Parameter-efficient LoRA adapters (≈1% of parameters updated)  
- **Deployment:** Compatible with local deployment and Fortytwo Capsule runtime for distributed swarm inference

## Evaluation Protocol

- All evaluations executed in Docker-isolated Rust 1.86.0 environment  
- **Code tasks:** measured via unit test pass rate  
- **Documentation & naming tasks:** scored via LLM-based correctness (Claude Sonnet 4 judge)  
- **Code completion & API tasks:** syntax-weighted Levenshtein similarity  
- **Comment generation:** compilation success metric  

---

## Why It Matters

Rust is a high-safety, low-level language with complex ownership semantics that make it uniquely challenging for general-purpose LLMs.  
At the same time, there is simply **not enough high-quality training data on Rust**, as it remains a relatively modern and rapidly evolving language.  
This scarcity of large, reliable Rust datasets – combined with the language’s intricate borrow checker and type system – makes it an ideal benchmark for evaluating true model understanding and reasoning precision.

**Strand-Rust-Coder** demonstrates how **specialized models** can outperform giant centralized models – achieving domain mastery with a fraction of the compute.  
Through **Fortytwo’s Swarm Inference**, the network was able to generate an **extremely accurate synthetic dataset**, enabling a **state-of-the-art Rust model** to be built through an efficient **LoRA fine-tune** rather than full retraining.

This work validates Fortytwo’s thesis: **intelligence can scale horizontally through networked specialization rather than centralized scale.**

## Intended Use

- Rust code generation, completion, and documentation  
- Automated refactoring and test generation  
- Integration into code copilots and multi-agent frameworks  
- Research on domain-specialized model training and evaluation  

### Limitations
- May underperform on purely algorithmic or multi-language tasks (e.g., HumanEval-style puzzles).  
- Not suitable for generating unverified production code without compilation and test validation.

## Integration with Fortytwo Network

Strand-Rust-Coder models are integrated into **Fortytwo’s decentralized Swarm Inference Network**, where specialized models collaborate and rank each other’s outputs.  
This structure enables **peer-reviewed inference**, improving reliability while reducing hallucinations and cost.

## Inference Examples

### Using `pipeline`

```python
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="Fortytwo-Network/Strand-Rust-Coder-14B-v1")
messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Write a Rust function that finds the first string longer than 10 characters in a vector."},
]
pipe(messages)
```

### Using Transformers Directly

```python
# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForCausalLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Fortytwo-Network/Strand-Rust-Coder-14B-v1")
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("Fortytwo-Network/Strand-Rust-Coder-14B-v1")

messages = [
    {"role": "user", "content": "Write a Rust function that finds the first string longer than 10 characters in a vector."},
]

inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages,
    add_generation_prompt=True,
    tokenize=True,
    return_dict=True,
    return_tensors="pt",
).to(model.device)

outputs = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=40)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0][inputs["input_ids"].shape[-1]:]))
```
