Phase 1: Offline Bucket Mining Pipeline (5–7 days) +1. Create `BucketMiner` service that scans tokenized corpora. +2. Extract frequent n-grams (n=2 to n=8). +3. Score candidates by frequency × conditional probability. +4. Pack top candidates into exactly 256 buckets (one byte). +5. Store: `byte ChainID → TokenID[] chain + float confidence`. +6. Output: `ChainBucketTable` (versioned, < 50 KB). + +**Implementation:** `src/BitNetSharp.Core/Bucketing/BucketMiner.cs` + +--- + +## 5. Phase 2: Inference-Time Chain-Bucket Speculative Decoding (7–10 days) +**Core flow:** +1. After each token, check last 1–3 tokens against bucket prefixes. +2. If match found, speculatively emit continuation tokens from the matching chain. +3. Run parallel verification pass: confirm model top-1 prediction matches each chain token. +4. Accept tokens sequentially until first mismatch (classic speculative safety). +5. Context window updated once for the entire accepted chain. + +**Integration:** +- Extend `BitNetPaperModel.GenerateResponse()` with optional bucketing path. +- Add `ChainBucketTable` loaded via `MineAndLoadBuckets()` or `LoadBucketTable()`. +- Configurable via `BitNetOptions.EnableChainBuckets` and `MaxChainLength`. + +**Implementation:** `src/BitNetSharp.Core/BitNetPaperModel.cs` + +--- + +## 6. Phase 3: Training-Time Sequence Compression with Super-Tokens (8–12 days) +**New capability:** During training, replace frequent n-grams with a single first-token placeholder to shorten sequences. + +**Steps:** +1. Before each training batch forward pass, scan the prompt sequence for chains. +2. Replace matching n-grams with just the first token of the chain. +3. During forward pass, the model sees compressed sequences (shorter context = faster training). +4. Loss is still computed against the original first target token. +5. Periodic re-mining at startup or on demand adapts to corpus content. + +**BitNet specifics:** +- Compression is applied to the INPUT context only; target tokens are unchanged. +- Re-quantization schedule unchanged. +- Expected benefit: 20–35 % reduction in training tokens processed per epoch. + +**Configuration:** `BitNetOptions.EnableSequenceCompression = true` + +**Implementation:** `src/BitNetSharp.Core/BitNetPaperModel.cs` (`CompressSequence` helper) + +--- + +## 7. Phase 4: Quality Safeguards, Evaluation & Benchmarks (5–7 days) +1. Add verification step: every generated chain must match model top-1 probabilities. +2. Perplexity check on compressed vs uncompressed validation set. +3. Benchmark suite extension: + - Tokens/sec with/without bucketing + - Training time per epoch with/without sequence compression + - Acceptance rate and compression ratio metrics +4. Add to existing TinyLlama-1.1B benchmark pipeline. + +--- + +## 8. Phase 5: CLI, Documentation & Release (3–5 days) +1.
