Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) Framework Integration für ThemisDB

Stand: 19. Dezember 2025
Version: 1.1.0
Kategorie: LLM Training


Zusammenfassung

Dieses Dokument analysiert verfügbare Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) Methoden und deren Integration in ThemisDB. PEFT-Methoden ermöglichen das Trainieren von LLMs mit minimalen Ressourcen durch Anpassung nur eines kleinen Teils der Parameter.

Wichtigste PEFT-Methoden:

  • LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) - Hauptfokus, am weitesten verbreitet
  • QLoRA - LoRA mit 4-bit Quantisierung
  • AdaLoRA - Adaptive LoRA mit dynamischem Rank
  • IA³ (Infused Adapter by Inhibiting and Amplifying Inner Activations)
  • Prompt Tuning - Lernt nur Prompt Embeddings
  • P-Tuning - Continuous Prompt Tuning
  • Prefix Tuning - Trainierbare Prefixes pro Layer

Dieses Dokument ergänzt die geplante Llama.cpp Integration für Inferenz (v1.3.0).

Status Quo (v1.2.0):

  • 🚧 Inferenz: Llama.cpp Integration geplant für v1.3.0 (siehe Roadmap)
  • vLLM Support: Multi-LoRA Serving Dokumentation vorhanden (siehe VLLM_MULTI_LORA_INTEGRATION.md)
  • Datenexport: JSONL Exporter mit Adapter-Metadata vollständig implementiert
  • Sharding: Horizontales Sharding mit Raft-Konsensus, WAL-Replikation, Auto-Rebalancing
  • Training: Noch keine direkte Framework-Integration

Ziel: Integration eines PEFT Training Frameworks (LoRA/QLoRA/etc.) für:

  1. Inline Training direkt aus ThemisDB Multi-Model Daten (Graph, Vector, Relational)
  2. Distributed Training über ThemisDB Shards
  3. Horizontale Adapter-Bereitstellung mit Load Balancing und Failover

1. Was haben wir bereits?

1.1 Bestehende Infrastruktur (v1.2.0)

Hinweis: Die Llama.cpp Integration für native Inferenz ist für v1.3.0 geplant (siehe ROADMAP.md). Die hier beschriebene Training-Integration kann parallel entwickelt werden und ist unabhängig von Llama.cpp.

✅ JSONL LLM Exporter (include/exporters/jsonl_llm_exporter.h) - IMPLEMENTIERT

// Vollständig implementiert:
- Instruction Tuning, Chat Completion, Text Completion Formate
- Weighting-Strategien (freshness, length-based)
- Quality Filtering (min/max length, duplicates)
- Schema Validation (Outlines-kompatibel)
- LoRA Adapter Metadata Tracking
- vLLM-spezifische Konfiguration

Capabilities:

  • Export von ThemisDB → JSONL für Training
  • Automatische Gewichtung nach Aktualität
  • Metadata für LoRAExchange.ai Standard
  • Schema-validierte Samples (100% JSON Schema konform)

✅ Streaming API (docs/api/STREAMING_JSONL_TRAINING.md)

// Bereits implementiert (Commit 6b4129b):
POST /api/export/jsonl_llm/stream
- Chunked Transfer Encoding
- On-demand Streaming (kein vollständiger Export)
- Backpressure Support
- Batch-wise DB Zugriff

Use Case:

# PyTorch/HuggingFace IterableDataset
dataset = ThemisDBStreamDataset(
    base_url='http://themisdb:8765',
    query_params={'theme': 'Rechtssprechung', 'from_date': '2020-01-01'}
)
trainer.train(dataset)  # Direkt aus DB, kein lokaler Export

✅ Adapter Registry (docs/exporters/LORA_ADAPTER_METADATA.md)

struct AdapterMetadata {
    string adapter_id;           // "legal-qa-v1"
    string adapter_version;      // "1.2.0"
    string base_model_name;      // "mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1"
    string task_type;            // "question-answering"
    string domain;               // "legal"
    
    struct TrainingConfig {
        int lora_rank;           // 8, 16, 32
        double lora_alpha;       // 16.0
        double lora_dropout;     // 0.1
        vector<string> target_modules;  // ["q_proj", "v_proj", ...]
    } training_config;
}

Integration Points:

  • Metadata wird während Export gespeichert
  • Training-Framework liest Metadata
  • vLLM nutzt Metadata für Serving

1.2 Was fehlt noch?

Training Framework Integration - Kein direkter Adapter/Wrapper
Python Training Library - Kein themisdb-trainer Package
C++ Training Adapter - Keine DLL/SO für natives Training
Orchestration - Kein automatisierter Train→Deploy Workflow

2.2 LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) ⭐ Empfohlen

Paper: LoRA: Low-Rank Adaptation of Large Language Models (Microsoft, 2021)
Idee: Fügt trainierbare Low-Rank Matrizen zu frozen Modell-Gewichten hinzu

Mathematik:

W' = W₀ + ΔW = W₀ + BA
wobei B ∈ ℝᵈˣʳ, A ∈ ℝʳˣᵏ, r ≪ min(d,k)

Modell-Kompatibilität: ⚠️ NICHT Modellübergreifend

Wichtig: LoRA-Adapter sind spezifisch für ein Base-Model und NICHT zwischen verschiedenen LLMs transferierbar:

❌ NICHT Kompatibel:
- LoRA trainiert auf Llama-2-7B → funktioniert NICHT mit Mistral-7B
- LoRA trainiert auf GPT-2 → funktioniert NICHT mit Llama
- LoRA trainiert auf Llama-7B → funktioniert NICHT mit Llama-13B

✅ Kompatibel:
- LoRA trainiert auf Llama-2-7B → funktioniert mit Llama-2-7B ✓
- Verschiedene LoRAs auf GLEICHEM Base-Model austauschbar

⚠️ Wichtige Klarstellung: llama.cpp vs. LoRA-Adapter

llama.cpp (Inference Engine):

  • ✅ Kann VIELE verschiedene Modelle laden: Llama, Mistral, Phi-3, Gemma, etc.
  • ✅ Universelle GGUF-Format Unterstützung
  • ✅ Eine llama.cpp Instanz kann Mistral laden, dann Llama laden, etc.

LoRA-Adapter:

  • ❌ Sind NICHT universell - modellspezifisch!
  • ❌ Ein für Llama trainierter Adapter funktioniert NICHT mit Mistral
  • ❌ Auch wenn llama.cpp beide Models laden kann

Konkret:

// llama.cpp kann beides laden (Inference Engine):
auto mistral_model = llama_load_model("mistral-7b.gguf");  //
auto llama_model = llama_load_model("llama-2-7b.gguf");    //

// Und LoRA-Adapter für jedes Modell:
llama_load_lora(mistral_model, "legal-qa-mistral.gguf");   // ✓ Passt
llama_load_lora(llama_model, "legal-qa-llama.gguf");       // ✓ Passt

// ABER: Cross-Model funktioniert NICHT:
llama_load_lora(mistral_model, "legal-qa-llama.gguf");     // ❌ FEHLER!
llama_load_lora(llama_model, "legal-qa-mistral.gguf");     // ❌ FEHLER!

❓ Warum kann llama.cpp Mistral LoRA NICHT laden?

Antwort: llama.cpp KAN Mistral-LoRA laden, ABER nur mit Mistral Base-Model!

// RICHTIG: Mistral-Model + Mistral-LoRA
auto mistral = llama_load_model("mistral-7b.gguf");
llama_load_lora(mistral, "mistral-legal.gguf");  // ✓ Funktioniert perfekt!

// FALSCH: Llama-Model + Mistral-LoRA  
auto llama = llama_load_model("llama-2-7b.gguf");
llama_load_lora(llama, "mistral-legal.gguf");    // ❌ Dimension Mismatch Error!

Das Mismatch ist beim Training UND Inference:

  1. Training-Mismatch:

    # ❌ FEHLER: Llama-Daten auf Mistral trainieren
    base_model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("mistralai/Mistral-7B")
    training_data = load_data_for_llama()  # Llama-spezifische Tokenisierung
    # → Tokenizer-Mismatch, schlechte Results
  2. Inference-Mismatch:

    // ❌ FEHLER: Falsches Base-Model für Adapter
    auto model = llama_load_model("mistral-7b.gguf");
    llama_load_lora(model, "llama-legal.gguf");
    // → Runtime Error: Layer dimensions don't match
    //    Expected: Mistral layers (FFN=14336)
    //    Got: Llama LoRA (FFN=11008)

Zusammenfassung:

  • llama.cpp = Universal Engine ✓
  • Mistral-Model laden ✓
  • Mistral-LoRA mit Mistral-Model laden ✓
  • Mistral-LoRA mit Llama-Model laden ❌ (Dimension Error)

Gründe für Inkompatibilität:

  1. Dimensionen: Jedes Model hat unterschiedliche Layer-Größen (d, k)

    • Llama-2-7B: hidden_size=4096, num_heads=32
    • Mistral-7B: hidden_size=4096, num_heads=32, ABER unterschiedliche FFN-Größen
    • Phi-3: hidden_size=3072, num_heads=32 (komplett andere Dimensionen)
  2. Architektur: Unterschiedliche Layer-Namen und Strukturen

    • Llama: model.layers.{i}.self_attn.q_proj
    • GPT-2: transformer.h.{i}.attn.c_attn
    • Mistral: model.layers.{i}.self_attn.q_proj (gleicher Name, ABER andere Weights)
  3. Tokenizer: Verschiedene Vocabulary-Sizes

    • Llama-2: 32000 tokens
    • Mistral: 32000 tokens (aber unterschiedliche Mappings)
    • GPT-2: 50257 tokens
  4. Semantik: Weight-Space ist nicht aligned zwischen Models

    • Ein LoRA für Llama hat "gelernt" auf Llama's spezifische Weight-Verteilung
    • Mistral hat völlig andere Weight-Verteilungen, auch bei gleichen Dimensionen

❓ Wie macht vLLM das, dass Adapter mit "allen Modellen" funktionieren?

Klärung: vLLM macht Adapter NICHT modellübergreifend kompatibel. vLLM erlaubt:

  1. Multi-LoRA Serving auf EINEM Base-Model:

    vLLM Server
    ├─ Base Model: Mistral-7B (geladen in VRAM)
    └─ Adapter Pool:
       ├─ legal-qa-v1 → NUR für Mistral-7B ✓
       ├─ medical-v1 → NUR für Mistral-7B ✓
       └─ code-gen-v1 → NUR für Mistral-7B ✓
    
  2. Dynamische Adapter-Auswahl pro Request:

    # Request 1: Legal query
    client.completions.create(
        model="mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1",
        prompt="Legal question...",
        extra_body={"lora_name": "legal-qa-v1"}  # Wählt Adapter aus Pool
    )
    
    # Request 2: Medical query (GLEICHES Base-Model!)
    client.completions.create(
        model="mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1",
        prompt="Medical question...",
        extra_body={"lora_name": "medical-v1"}  # Anderer Adapter, GLEICHES Model
    )
  3. Effiziente Batching:

    • vLLM kann Requests mit verschiedenen Adaptern im gleichen Batch verarbeiten
    • PagedAttention ermöglicht Sharing des Base-Model KV-Cache
    • Adapter-spezifische Gewichte werden nur für betroffene Tokens geladen

vLLM's Strategie für "Universalität":

Aspekt vLLM Ansatz Limitation
Multi-Base-Model Support Kann verschiedene Base-Models hosten (Llama, Mistral, GPT-J) Jedes Base-Model braucht eigene Adapter
Multi-Adapter auf 1 Base-Model ✅ Ja, unbegrenzt viele Adapter pro Base-Model Adapter sind an Base-Model gebunden
Cross-Model Adapter Sharing ❌ Nicht möglich Dimensionen inkompatibel
Dynamic Adapter Loading ✅ Ja, Adapter können zur Laufzeit ge-/entladen werden Nur für kompatibles Base-Model

Was vLLM NICHT kann:

# ❌ FEHLER: Llama LoRA auf Mistral Base-Model
client.completions.create(
    model="mistralai/Mistral-7B",
    extra_body={"lora_name": "llama-legal-adapter"}  # ← Inkompatibel!
)
# → Dimension mismatch: Llama LoRA (4096) ≠ Mistral (4096 aber andere Architektur)

Verbesserungsvorschläge für ThemisDB Strategie:

  1. Multi-Base-Model Registry:

    struct AdapterRegistry {
        map<string, vector<AdapterInfo>> adapters_by_base_model;
        // Gruppierung: "mistral-7b" → [legal-v1, medical-v1]
        //              "llama-3-8b" → [code-v1, chat-v1]
    };
  2. Automatische Base-Model Erkennung:

    // Verhindert falsche Adapter-Zuordnung
    bool validateAdapterCompatibility(
        const string& adapter_id,
        const string& base_model_id
    ) {
        auto adapter_meta = registry.getAdapter(adapter_id);
        if (adapter_meta.base_model_name != base_model_id) {
            throw IncompatibleAdapterException(
                "Adapter " + adapter_id + " requires " + 
                adapter_meta.base_model_name + " but got " + base_model_id
            );
        }
        return true;
    }
  3. Fallback-Strategie für Model-Migration:

    // Wenn Base-Model gewechselt wird
    struct ModelMigrationPlan {
        string old_base_model;     // "mistral-7b"
        string new_base_model;     // "llama-3-8b"
        
        // Adapter müssen re-trainiert werden
        vector<AdapterRetrainingTask> adapter_tasks;
        
        // Aber: Training-Daten können wiederverwendet werden
        bool reuse_training_data = true;
        bool reuse_hyperparameters = true;  // LoRA rank, alpha, etc.
    };

Best Practice (korrigiert):

  • ✅ Ein Base-Model wählen und dabei bleiben
  • ✅ Mehrere LoRAs für verschiedene Domänen auf GLEICHEM Base-Model
  • ✅ Bei Base-Model Wechsel: Alle Adapter re-trainieren (aber Training-Daten wiederverwenden)
  • ✅ vLLM für Multi-Adapter auf 1 Base-Model, NICHT für Cross-Model Adapter
  • ✅ Separate vLLM-Instanzen für verschiedene Base-Models (z.B. eine für Mistral, eine für Llama)

Eigenschaften:

  • ✅ Trainiert nur ~0.1-1% der Parameter (z.B. 4M statt 7B)
  • ✅ Memory: 3-4x weniger als Full Fine-Tuning
  • ✅ Inference: Keine Latenz-Overhead (A und B können mit W₀ gemerged werden)
  • ✅ Multi-Adapter: Verschiedene LoRAs für einen Base-Model
  • ✅ Swappable: Adapter können zur Laufzeit gewechselt werden (auf GLEICHEM Base-Model)

Hyperparameter:

lora_config = {
    'r': 8,              # Rank (4, 8, 16, 32, 64)
    'lora_alpha': 16,    # Scaling factor (oft 2*r)
    'lora_dropout': 0.1, # Dropout rate
    'target_modules': ['q_proj', 'v_proj', 'k_proj', 'o_proj']  # Welche Layer
}

Wann nutzen:

  • Production Use Cases (am ausgereiftesten)
  • Multi-Domain Adapters (legal, medical, etc.) auf GLEICHEM Base-Model
  • Wenn Inference-Speed wichtig ist
  • Standard für die meisten Anwendungen

2.3 QLoRA (Quantized LoRA)

Paper: QLoRA: Efficient Finetuning of Quantized LLMs (Dettmers et al., 2023)
Idee: LoRA + 4-bit Quantisierung des Base Models

Eigenschaften:

  • Extrem Memory-Efficient: 7B Model in 8GB VRAM trainierbar
  • ✅ Nutzt NF4 (Normal Float 4-bit) Quantisierung
  • ✅ Double Quantization für weitere Savings
  • ✅ Paged Optimizers (nutzt CPU RAM als Backup)
  • ❌ ~30% langsamer als LoRA (durch Dequantization)
  • ❌ Numerische Instabilitäten möglich

Memory Comparison:

Model Size: Mistral-7B

Full FP16:  14 GB VRAM (7B * 2 bytes)
LoRA FP16:  12 GB VRAM (frozen model + gradients)
QLoRA 4bit: 6-8 GB VRAM (quantized + adapters)

Wann nutzen:

  • Consumer GPUs (RTX 3090, 4090 mit 24GB)
  • Cloud-Kosten minimieren
  • Proof-of-Concepts / Experimente
  • Wenn Memory kritischer als Speed

2.4 AdaLoRA (Adaptive LoRA)

Paper: Adaptive Budget Allocation for Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (Zhang et al., 2023)
Idee: Rank r wird dynamisch per Layer angepasst

Eigenschaften:

  • ✅ Automatisches Rank-Tuning (kein manuelles r-Tuning nötig)
  • ✅ Prunes unwichtige Singular Values
  • ✅ Bessere Accuracy bei gleichem Parameter-Budget
  • ❌ Komplexer Training Loop
  • ❌ Weniger verbreitet als LoRA

Rank Allocation:

# AdaLoRA lernt automatisch:
# - Attention Layers: r=16 (wichtig)
# - FFN Layers: r=4 (weniger wichtig)
# statt manuell r=8 überall

Wann nutzen:

  • Maximale Accuracy bei fixem Parameter-Budget
  • Wenn Hyperparameter-Tuning Zeit/Ressourcen kostet
  • Research / Experimente

2.5 IA³ (Infused Adapter)

Paper: Few-Shot Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (Liu et al., 2022)
Idee: Multiplicative scaling vectors statt additive Low-Rank Matrizen

Eigenschaften:

  • Minimal Parameters: 0.01% (10x weniger als LoRA)
  • Fast: Keine Matrix-Multiplikation, nur Element-wise scaling
  • ✅ Inference-Overhead: ~0% (pure multiplication)
  • ❌ Weniger expressive als LoRA
  • ❌ Nur für simple Tasks geeignet

Mathematik:

y = W₀x ⊙ lᵥ   (für Values in Attention)
y = W₀x ⊙ lₖ   (für Keys in Attention)
y = W₀x ⊙ lₓ   (für FFN)

Parameter Count:

LoRA:  d × r + r × k  (z.B. 4096*8 + 8*4096 = 65k pro Layer)
IA³:   d              (z.B. 4096 pro Layer)
→ IA³ hat ~16x weniger Parameter

Wann nutzen:

  • Sehr einfache Tasks (Classification, NER)
  • Extreme Resource Constraints (Edge Devices)
  • Wenn Speed > Accuracy

2.6 Prompt Tuning

Paper: The Power of Scale for Parameter-Efficient Prompt Tuning (Lester et al., 2021)
Idee: Trainiert nur Prompt-Embeddings, Model bleibt komplett frozen

Eigenschaften:

  • Minimalste Parameter: 0.001% (z.B. 20 tokens * 4096 dim = 80k)
  • ✅ Sehr schnelles Training
  • ✅ Perfekt für Multi-Task Learning (1 Prompt pro Task)
  • ❌ Nur effektiv bei sehr großen Models (>10B)
  • ❌ Bei kleinen Models (<1B) fast nutzlos

Beispiel:

Original Input:  "Translate to German: Hello"
Prompt Tuning:   [P1][P2][P3]...[P20] "Translate to German: Hello"
                 └─────trainierbar─────┘ └────────frozen──────────┘

Wann nutzen:

  • Sehr große Models (>11B Parameter)
  • Multi-Task Scenarios
  • Wenn Model-Weights nicht verändert werden dürfen

2.7 Prefix Tuning

Paper: Prefix-Tuning (Li & Liang, 2021)
Idee: Fügt trainierbare Prefixes zu jedem Transformer-Layer hinzu

Eigenschaften:

  • ✅ Mehr expressive als Prompt Tuning (prefix per layer)
  • ✅ ~0.01% Parameter
  • ✅ Gut für Generation Tasks
  • ❌ Inference Overhead (längere Sequences)

Architektur:

Layer 1: [prefix₁] + Input → Output₁
Layer 2: [prefix₂] + Output₁ → Output₂
...
Layer N: [prefixₙ] + Outputₙ₋₁ → Final Output

Wann nutzen:

  • Generation Tasks (Text, Code)
  • Wenn LoRA zu viel Memory braucht
  • Multi-Task mit shared backbone

2.8 P-Tuning v2

Paper: P-Tuning v2 (Liu et al., 2022)
Idee: Deep Prompt Tuning + Reparameterization

Eigenschaften:

  • ✅ Bridging gap zwischen Prompt Tuning und Fine-Tuning
  • ✅ Funktioniert auch bei kleineren Models
  • ✅ ~0.1% Parameter
  • ❌ Komplexere Implementation

Wann nutzen:

  • NLU Tasks (Classification, NER, QA)
  • Wenn Prompt Tuning nicht funktioniert (kleines Model)

4. C++ Native Training-Integration (für ThemisDB)

4.1 Warum C++ statt Python?

ThemisDB ist in C++ geschrieben und benötigt native Integration für:

  1. Zero-Copy - Direkter Zugriff auf RocksDB Memory
  2. Performance - Keine Python-Overhead
  3. Deployment - Single Binary ohne Python-Dependencies
  4. Integration - Natives Training direkt aus SQL/AQL

Problem: Alle modernen Training-Frameworks sind Python-basiert (PyTorch, HuggingFace)

4.2 C++ Integration Optionen

Option A: llama.cpp Training Support 🟢 EMPFOHLEN

Status: llama.cpp v1.3.0 (geplant) hat experimentellen LoRA Training Support

Repository: https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp
License: MIT

Vorteile:

  • Pure C++ - Keine Python-Abhängigkeit
  • Bereits geplant - llama.cpp Integration für v1.3.0
  • Same Stack - Training + Inference in gleichem Framework
  • Lightweight - Keine PyTorch/CUDA-Toolkit Dependencies
  • CPU + GPU - Metal (Mac), CUDA, ROCm, Vulkan, SYCL
  • Quantization - GGUF Format nativ

llama.cpp LoRA Training Features:

// llama.cpp/examples/finetune/finetune.cpp (experimentell)
struct train_params {
    int n_ctx = 512;
    int n_batch = 8;
    int n_epochs = 1;
    
    // LoRA config
    int lora_r = 8;
    float lora_alpha = 16.0f;
    float lora_dropout = 0.1f;
    
    // Optimizer
    enum optimizer_type optimizer = ADAM;
    float learning_rate = 1e-3f;
};

// Training Loop
llama_train(model, train_params, dataset);

Aktueller Status (Dezember 2024):

  • ✅ Basic LoRA Training implementiert
  • ✅ GGUF Adapter Export/Import
  • ⚠️ Experimentell, nicht Production-Ready
  • ⚠️ Weniger Features als Python Frameworks

Integration mit ThemisDB:

// ThemisDB native LoRA training
#include "llm/llama_trainer.h"
#include "exporters/jsonl_llm_exporter.h"

namespace themis {
namespace llm {

class LlamaLoRATrainer {
public:
    LlamaLoRATrainer(const std::string& model_path, 
                     const LoRAConfig& config);
    
    // Train from ThemisDB data (zero-copy)
    void train(const std::vector<BaseEntity>& entities);
    
    // Export adapter in GGUF format
    void saveAdapter(const std::string& output_path);
    
    // Direct integration with Llama.cpp inference
    void deployToInference(LlamaCppContext& ctx);
};

} // namespace llm
} // namespace themis

Aufwand: 🟡 Mittel (2-3 Wochen)

  • llama.cpp Training API integrieren
  • ThemisDB → llama.cpp Datenformat Konverter
  • Training Loop mit RocksDB Integration
  • Tests + Benchmarks

Option B: LibTorch (PyTorch C++ API) 🟡

Repository: https://pytorch.org/cppdocs/
License: BSD-3-Clause

Vorteile:

  • ✅ Vollständige PyTorch Features in C++
  • ✅ Production-Ready
  • ✅ PEFT-Methoden selbst implementierbar
  • Huge Dependency - 2GB+ LibTorch + CUDA Toolkit
  • ❌ Keine fertigen PEFT Implementations
  • ❌ Manuelles Implementieren von LoRA/QLoRA nötig

LibTorch LoRA Implementation:

#include <torch/torch.h>

// LoRA Layer Implementation
struct LoRALinear : torch::nn::Module {
    LoRALinear(int in_features, int out_features, int rank, float alpha)
        : lora_A(register_module("lora_A", 
                 torch::nn::Linear(in_features, rank))),
          lora_B(register_module("lora_B", 
                 torch::nn::Linear(rank, out_features))),
          scaling(alpha / rank) {
        // Initialize
        torch::nn::init::kaiming_uniform_(lora_A->weight);
        torch::nn::init::zeros_(lora_B->weight);
    }
    
    torch::Tensor forward(torch::Tensor x, torch::Tensor base_output) {
        auto lora_output = lora_B(lora_A(x));
        return base_output + lora_output * scaling;
    }
    
    torch::nn::Linear lora_A, lora_B;
    float scaling;
};

// Training Loop
auto optimizer = torch::optim::Adam(model->parameters(), /*lr=*/1e-3);
for (auto& batch : data_loader) {
    optimizer.zero_grad();
    auto output = model->forward(batch.data);
    auto loss = torch::nn::functional::cross_entropy(output, batch.targets);
    loss.backward();
    optimizer.step();
}

Aufwand: 🔴 Hoch (1-2 Monate)

  • LoRA/QLoRA von Grund auf implementieren
  • Optimizer (Adam, AdamW) konfigurieren
  • Gradient Checkpointing
  • Multi-GPU Support (DDP)
  • Integration mit ThemisDB

Empfehlung:NICHT Empfohlen - Zu viel Aufwand, große Dependencies

Option C: ONNX Runtime Training 🟡

Repository: https://onnxruntime.ai/
License: MIT

Vorteile:

  • ✅ C++ API
  • ✅ Cross-Platform (CPU, CUDA, DirectML, TensorRT)
  • ❌ Training API weniger ausgereift als Inferenz
  • ❌ Keine fertigen PEFT Implementations

Aufwand: 🔴 Hoch (1-2 Monate)

Empfehlung:NICHT Empfohlen

Option D: Hybrid Python→C++ Export 🟢 Praktische Alternative

Idee: Training in Python, dann Export zu C++ für Inferenz

Workflow:

1. Training (Python):
   ThemisDB → Python Streaming → Axolotl/Unsloth → LoRA Adapter (safetensors)
   
2. Konvertierung:
   LoRA Adapter (.safetensors) → GGUF Format (llama.cpp-kompatibel)
   
3. Inferenz (C++ ThemisDB):
   llama.cpp lädt GGUF + LoRA → Native C++ Inference

Konvertierung Tools:

# Python LoRA → GGUF Konvertierung
python llama.cpp/convert-lora-to-gguf.py \
  --input ./adapters/legal-qa-v1/adapter_model.safetensors \
  --output ./adapters/legal-qa-v1.gguf \
  --base mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1

ThemisDB Integration:

// C++ Inference mit LoRA (llama.cpp)
#include "llm/llama_cpp_inference.h"

auto model = llama_load_model("models/mistral-7b.gguf");
auto lora = llama_load_lora("adapters/legal-qa-v1.gguf");

llama_apply_lora(model, lora);

auto response = llama_generate(model, "Was ist Immissionsschutz?");

Vorteile:

  • Best of Both Worlds - Python Training (ausgereift) + C++ Inference (performant)
  • Zero Python Runtime Dependency - Nur für Training-Phase
  • Production-Ready - llama.cpp ist battle-tested
  • Geringer Aufwand - Nur Konvertierung implementieren

Aufwand: 🟢 Niedrig (1 Woche)

  • Python Training Setup (bereits dokumentiert)
  • Konvertierungs-Script/Tool
  • C++ Inference Integration

Option E: Custom C++ Training Engine 🔴

Von Grund auf eigenes Training Framework implementieren

Aufwand: 🔴 Sehr Hoch (3-6 Monate, 3-5 Entwickler)

Komponenten:

  • Autograd Engine (Backpropagation)
  • Tensor Operations (Matrix Multiplication, etc.)
  • CUDA Kernels (für GPU)
  • Optimizers (Adam, AdamW, SGD)
  • LoRA Layer Implementation
  • Gradient Checkpointing
  • Mixed Precision Training (FP16/BF16)
  • Distributed Training (Multi-GPU)

Empfehlung: ❌❌❌ ABSOLUT NICHT Empfohlen

  • Reinventing the wheel
  • 1000x mehr Aufwand als Nutzen
  • Maintenance-Alptraum

#include "llm/llama_trainer.h"

auto trainer = themis::llm::LlamaLoRATrainer(
    "models/mistral-7b.gguf",
    config
);

// Zero-copy Training aus ThemisDB
trainer.trainFromThemisDB(query);

// Direktes Deployment
trainer.saveAdapter("adapters/legal-v2.gguf");

Gesamt-Aufwand: 🟡 6-8 Wochen (1-2 Entwickler)

Performance-Optimierungen

Zero-Copy Data Access:

// Direct memory mapping from RocksDB
auto batch = batch_generator.next();
const char* text = batch.input_text;  // Points directly to RocksDB memory
// No memcpy, no allocation

SIMD Batching:

// Vectorized batch processing
#include <immintrin.h>

void processBatchSIMD(const float* embeddings, size_t batch_size) {
    for (size_t i = 0; i < batch_size; i += 8) {
        __m256 vec = _mm256_load_ps(&embeddings[i]);
        // SIMD operations
        _mm256_store_ps(&result[i], vec);
    }
}

Async I/O:

// Prefetch next batch while training current batch
std::future<Batch> next_batch = std::async([&]() {
    return batch_generator.next();
});

trainer.trainOnBatch(current_batch);
current_batch = next_batch.get();  // Overlap I/O with compute

📊 Expected Performance

Training Speed:

Dataset: 100k samples, Mistral-7B, LoRA rank=8
Hardware: A100 40GB

Traditional Approach (Export → Python):
- Export JSONL: 5 minutes
- Load to memory: 2 minutes  
- Training: 45 minutes
Total: 52 minutes

Inline Training (ThemisDB):
- No export: 0 minutes ✓
- Zero-copy loading: 0 minutes ✓
- Training: 40 minutes (5min faster, SIMD batching)
Total: 40 minutes (23% faster)

Memory:
- Traditional: 24GB (model + data + gradients)
- Inline: 18GB (zero-copy, no data duplication)
→ 25% less memory

6. Sharding-Integration: Distributed LoRA Training & Deployment

6.1 ThemisDB Sharding Architektur - Überblick

ThemisDB nutzt horizontales Sharding mit Consistent Hashing für Datenverteilung über mehrere Shards. Die bestehende Sharding-Infrastruktur kann für verteiltes LoRA-Training und horizontale Adapter-Bereitstellung genutzt werden.

Bestehende Sharding-Komponenten:

// Existierende ThemisDB Sharding-Architektur
namespace themis::sharding {
    class ShardRouter          // Query Routing (SCATTER_GATHER, SINGLE_SHARD)
    class URNResolver          // Shard Location Resolution
    class RemoteExecutor       // Cross-Shard RPC
    class ShardTopology        // Cluster Membership
    class DataMigrator         // Shard Rebalancing
    class WALShipper          // Replica Sync
    class RaftState           // Consensus & Leader Election
}

6.2 Distributed LoRA Training über Shards

Strategie A: Data-Parallel Training (Empfohlen) 🟢

Idee: Jeder Shard trainiert auf seinen lokalen Daten, Gradienten werden aggregiert.

Implementation:

// include/llm/distributed_training_coordinator.h
namespace themis::llm {

class DistributedTrainingCoordinator {
public:
    DistributedTrainingCoordinator(
        sharding::ShardRouter& router,
        sharding::ShardTopology& topology,
        const TrainingConfig& config
    );
    
    // Start distributed training across shards
    TrainingResult trainDistributed(const TrainingPlan& plan);
    
    // Gradient synchronization strategies
    enum class SyncStrategy {
        ALL_REDUCE,          // Ring-AllReduce (Ring-based)
        PARAMETER_SERVER,    // Central gradient aggregation
        FEDERATED           // Privacy-preserving (no raw data sharing)
    };
    
private:
    // Coordination methods
    void broadcastModel(const LoRAWeights& weights);
    LoRAWeights aggregateGradients(
        const std::vector<LoRAWeights>& shard_gradients
    );
    void syncCheckpoint(int epoch);
    
    // Fault tolerance
    void handleShardFailure(const std::string& shard_id);
    
    sharding::ShardRouter& router_;
    sharding::ShardTopology& topology_;
    SyncStrategy sync_strategy_ = SyncStrategy::ALL_REDUCE;
};

} // namespace themis::llm

AQL Syntax für Distributed Training:

-- Distributed training across all shards
TRAIN ADAPTER legal_qa_v1 DISTRIBUTED
  FROM documents
  WHERE category = 'Rechtssprechung'
  WITH
    base_model = 'mistral-7b',
    lora_rank = 8,
    epochs = 3,
    -- Distributed training params
    sync_strategy = 'ALL_REDUCE',
    sync_frequency = 100,  -- Sync every 100 batches
    coordinator_shard = 'shard_0';  -- Leader shard

Gradient Synchronization:

// Per Shard: Local Training Step
void shardTrainingStep(const Batch& batch) {
    // 1. Forward pass (local data)
    auto output = model.forward(batch.input);
    auto loss = compute_loss(output, batch.target);
    
    // 2. Backward pass (compute gradients)
    auto gradients = model.backward(loss);
    
    // 3. Send gradients to coordinator (non-blocking)
    if (step % sync_frequency == 0) {
        coordinator.asyncSendGradients(shard_id, gradients);
    }
}

// Coordinator: Gradient Aggregation
LoRAWeights aggregateGradients(
    const std::map<std::string, LoRAWeights>& shard_gradients
) {
    LoRAWeights aggregated;
    
    // AllReduce: Average gradients from all shards
    for (const auto& [shard_id, grads] : shard_gradients) {
        for (size_t i = 0; i < grads.size(); ++i) {
            aggregated[i] += grads[i] / shard_gradients.size();
        }
    }
    
    // Broadcast aggregated gradients back to shards
    for (const auto& [shard_id, _] : shard_gradients) {
        executor_.send(shard_id, "update_gradients", aggregated);
    }
    
    return aggregated;
}

Vorteile:

  • Skalierbar: Linear scaling mit Anzahl Shards
  • Fault-Tolerant: Ein Shard-Ausfall stoppt nicht das gesamte Training
  • Data Locality: Keine Daten müssen zwischen Shards bewegt werden
  • Privacy: Shards tauschen nur Gradienten aus, nicht Rohdaten

Nachteile:

  • ⚠️ Network Overhead: Gradient-Synchronization benötigt Bandbreite
  • ⚠️ Consistency: Gradients müssen synchron aggregiert werden

Strategie B: Federated Learning (Privacy-Focused)

Für hochsensitive Daten (z.B. Medizin, Legal):

// Federated Averaging (FedAvg) Implementation
class FederatedTrainingCoordinator {
public:
    TrainingResult trainFederated(const TrainingPlan& plan) {
        LoRAWeights global_model = initializeModel();
        
        for (int round = 0; round < num_rounds; ++round) {
            // 1. Broadcast global model to all shards
            broadcastModel(global_model);
            
            // 2. Each shard trains locally (multiple epochs)
            std::vector<LoRAWeights> shard_models;
            for (const auto& shard_id : topology_.getShards()) {
                auto result = executor_.execute(shard_id, {
                    {"command", "train_local"},
                    {"epochs", local_epochs},
                    {"data_filter", plan.data_query}
                });
                shard_models.push_back(result.model_weights);
            }
            
            // 3. Aggregate shard models (weighted averaging)
            global_model = aggregateModels(shard_models);
            
            // 4. Checkpoint
            saveCheckpoint(global_model, round);
        }
        
        return {global_model, metrics};
    }
    
private:
    LoRAWeights aggregateModels(
        const std::vector<LoRAWeights>& shard_models
    ) {
        // FedAvg: Weighted average by number of samples
        LoRAWeights aggregated;
        size_t total_samples = 0;
        
        for (const auto& model : shard_models) {
            total_samples += model.num_samples;
        }
        
        for (const auto& model : shard_models) {
            float weight = (float)model.num_samples / total_samples;
            for (size_t i = 0; i < model.weights.size(); ++i) {
                aggregated.weights[i] += model.weights[i] * weight;
            }
        }
        
        return aggregated;
    }
};

Vorteile:

  • Data Locality: Adapter läuft auf Shard mit relevanten Daten
  • Zero Data Movement: Keine Cross-Shard Datenübertragung
  • Domain Specialization: Jeder Shard spezialisiert auf seine Domäne

Implementation:

// include/llm/adapter_deployment_manager.h
namespace themis::llm {

class AdapterDeploymentManager {
public:
    // Deploy adapter to shard(s)
    void deployAdapter(
        const std::string& adapter_id,

        DeploymentStrategy strategy
    );
    
    enum class DeploymentStrategy {
        CO_LOCATED,      // Deploy to shard with matching data
        REPLICATED,      // Deploy to all shards (redundancy)

        const AdapterMetadata& metadata
    );
    
    sharding::ShardRouter& router_;
    sharding::ShardTopology& topology_;
};

} // namespace themis::llm

AQL Deployment:

-- Deploy adapter to specific shard
DEPLOY ADAPTER legal_qa_v1
  TO SHARD 'shard_legal'
  WITH strategy = 'CO_LOCATED';

-- Deploy to all shards (redundancy)
DEPLOY ADAPTER general_v1

-- Query with adapter routing
SELECT llm_generate(
    'Was ist Immissionsschutz?',
    adapter: 'legal_qa_v1'
)
-- Automatically routed to shard_legal

Strategie 2: Adapter Replication für High Availability

// Replicate adapter to multiple shards for redundancy
void deployAdapterReplicated(
    const std::string& adapter_id,
    const std::string& adapter_path,
    int replication_factor = 3

    // Deploy to each shard in parallel

6.4 Load Balancing & Query Routing

Intelligent Routing basierend auf:

  1. Data Affinity: Query zu Shard mit relevanten Daten routen
  2. Adapter Location: Shard mit geladenem Adapter bevorzugen
  3. Load: Shards mit niedriger Last bevorzugen
  4. Latency: Geografisch nähesten Shard wählen
// Adapter-Aware Query Router
class LLMQueryRouter {
public:
    std::string route(
        const std::string& query,
        const std::string& adapter_id,
        const RoutingHint& hint = {}
    ) {
        // 1. Get shards with adapter
        auto candidate_shards = adapter_registry_.getShardsForAdapter(adapter_id);
        
        // 2. Filter by data affinity
        if (hint.has_data_filter) {
            candidate_shards = filterByDataAffinity(
                candidate_shards, hint.data_filter
            );
        }
        
        // 3. Select based on load + latency
        auto selected_shard = selectBestShard(candidate_shards, {
            .prefer_low_load = true,
            .prefer_low_latency = true,
            .weights = {0.6, 0.4}  // 60% load, 40% latency
        });
        
        // 4. Execute on selected shard
        return executor_.execute(selected_shard, {
            {"command", "llm_generate"},
            {"query", query},
            {"adapter_id", adapter_id}
        }).text;
    }
    
private:
    std::vector<std::string> filterByDataAffinity(
        const std::vector<std::string>& shards,
        const std::string& data_filter
    ) {
        // Use ShardRouter to determine which shards have matching data
        std::vector<std::string> filtered;
        for (const auto& shard_id : shards) {
            if (router_.hasMatchingData(shard_id, data_filter)) {
                filtered.push_back(shard_id);
            }
        }
        return filtered.empty() ? shards : filtered;
    }
};

6.5 Cross-Shard Adapter Ensembles

Idee: Kombiniere Antworten von mehreren Adaptern auf verschiedenen Shards.

// Multi-Adapter Ensemble Query
std::string ensembleQuery(
    const std::string& query,
    const std::vector<std::string>& adapter_ids
) {
    // Scatter query to shards with different adapters
    std::vector<std::future<std::string>> responses;
    
    for (const auto& adapter_id : adapter_ids) {
        auto shard = router_.routeToAdapter(adapter_id);
        responses.push_back(std::async([=]() {
            return executor_.execute(shard, {
                {"command", "llm_generate"},
                {"query", query},
                {"adapter_id", adapter_id}
            }).text;
        }));
    }
    
    // Gather all responses
    std::vector<std::string> all_responses;
    for (auto& fut : responses) {
        all_responses.push_back(fut.get());
    }
    
    // Merge/Vote on best response
    return mergeResponses(all_responses);
}

AQL Ensemble Query:

-- Query multiple adapters and merge results
SELECT llm_ensemble_generate(
    'Welche rechtlichen und medizinischen Aspekte gibt es?',
    adapters: ['legal_qa_v1', 'medical_v1'],
    merge_strategy: 'VOTE'  -- or 'CONCAT', 'BEST_SCORE'
);

6.6 Performance & Scalability

Expected Performance:

Metric Single Shard 4 Shards (Distributed) 16 Shards
Training Throughput 100 samples/s 380 samples/s (3.8x) 1400 samples/s (14x)
Inference Latency 50ms 52ms (+2ms network) 55ms (+5ms network)
Adapter Load Time 2s 2s (parallel) 2s (parallel)
Failover Time N/A <100ms (replica) <100ms (replica)
Max Concurrent Queries 100 QPS 400 QPS 1600 QPS

Network Overhead:

Gradient Sync per Step:
- LoRA rank=8, 32 layers: ~4MB per sync
- Sync frequency: every 100 steps
- Network usage: 40KB/step (acceptable)

Adapter Replication:
- Adapter size: 16MB (rank=8)
- Replication to 4 shards: 64MB total
- One-time cost, amortized over queries

6.7 Fault Tolerance & Recovery

Shard Failure Handling:

// Automatic failover for adapter queries
class ResilientLLMService {
public:
    std::string query(
        const std::string& text,
        const std::string& adapter_id
    ) {
        auto shards = adapter_registry_.getShardsForAdapter(adapter_id);
        
        for (size_t attempt = 0; attempt < shards.size(); ++attempt) {
            try {
                auto shard = shards[attempt];
                
                // Circuit breaker check
                if (circuit_breaker_.isOpen(shard)) {
                    continue;  // Skip unhealthy shard
                }
                
                auto result = executor_.execute(shard, {...});
                circuit_breaker_.recordSuccess(shard);
                return result.text;
                
            } catch (const ShardException& e) {
                circuit_breaker_.recordFailure(shard);
                // Try next replica
            }
        }
        
        throw std::runtime_error("All adapter replicas failed");
    }
    
private:
    sharding::CircuitBreaker circuit_breaker_;
};

Training Checkpoint Recovery:

// Coordinator handles shard failures during training
void handleShardFailure(const std::string& failed_shard) {
    // 1. Mark shard as unhealthy
    topology_.markUnhealthy(failed_shard);
    
    // 2. Redistribute data from failed shard
    auto data_range = topology_.getDataRange(failed_shard);
    auto backup_shards = topology_.getReplicasFor(failed_shard);
    
    // 3. Resume training without failed shard
    active_shards_.erase(failed_shard);
    
    // 4. Adjust gradient aggregation (exclude failed shard)
    sync_strategy_.excludeShard(failed_shard);
    
    // 5. Log & alert
    logger_.warn("Shard {} failed, training continues with {} shards",
                 failed_shard, active_shards_.size());
}

6.8.7 Best Practices für Fehlerprävention

1. Strikte Naming Convention:

// Adapter ID enthält Base-Model Info
std::string generateAdapterID(
    const std::string& domain,
    const std::string& base_model,
    const std::string& version
) {
    // Format: {domain}_{base_model_short}_{version}
    // Beispiel: legal_mistral7b_v1
    std::string model_short = shortenModelName(base_model);
    return fmt::format("{}_{}_v{}", domain, model_short, version);
}

2. Metadata Checksums:

// Verify adapter integrity
struct AdapterChecksum {
    std::string base_model_hash;  // SHA256 of model architecture
    std::string weights_hash;     // SHA256 of adapter weights
    std::string config_hash;      // SHA256 of LoRA config
};

bool verifyAdapterIntegrity(
    const std::string& adapter_path,
    const AdapterChecksum& expected
) {
    auto actual = computeAdapterChecksum(adapter_path);
    return actual.base_model_hash == expected.base_model_hash &&
           actual.weights_hash == expected.weights_hash;
}

3. Automatic Testing:

// Test adapter compatibility during CI/CD
void testAdapterCompatibility(const std::string& adapter_path) {
    auto adapter_meta = loadAdapterMetadata(adapter_path);
    auto base_model = loadBaseModel(adapter_meta.base_model_name);
    
    // Try to load adapter

3.2 Komponenten

A) Python Training Library: themisdb-trainer (PyPI Package)

Funktionen:

  • ThemisDB Dataset Loader (IterableDataset)
  • Config Generator aus Adapter Metadata
  • Framework Abstraction Layer (Axolotl/Unsloth/PEFT)
  • Wandb/MLflow Integration
  • Automatic Model→vLLM Deployment

Installation:

pip install themisdb-trainer

Usage:

from themisdb_trainer import ThemisTrainer, ThemisConfig

# Config von ThemisDB Metadata
config = ThemisConfig.from_themis_adapter(
    themis_url='http://themisdb:8765',
    adapter_id='legal-qa-v1',
    framework='axolotl'  # oder 'unsloth', 'peft'
)

# Training
trainer = ThemisTrainer(config)
trainer.train()
trainer.deploy_to_vllm()  # Automatisches Deployment

B) CLI Tool: themisdb train

# Einfachstes Training
themisdb train --adapter legal-qa-v1

# Mit Framework-Wahl
themisdb train --adapter legal-qa-v1 --framework unsloth

# Custom Config
themisdb train --config custom_config.yaml

# Deployment nach Training
themisdb train --adapter legal-qa-v1 --deploy-vllm

C) Optional: C++ Training Adapter (DLL/SO) 🟡

Nur wenn absolut nötig (z.B. für native DB Integration ohne Python).

Use Case:

  • Training direkt aus C++ Server (ohne Python)
  • Custom Gradient Updates basierend auf DB Queries
  • Zero-Copy Training mit RocksDB Memory

Aufwand: 🔴 Hoch (2-4 Wochen)

  • Implementierung kompletter Backpropagation in C++
  • CUDA Kernel Development
  • Optimizer Implementation (Adam, SGD)
  • Kein ROI außer für sehr spezielle Use Cases

Empfehlung:NICHT empfohlen

  • Python Training Libraries (Axolotl/Unsloth) sind ausgereift
  • C++ Training hat keinen Performance-Vorteil (GPU-bound, nicht CPU)
  • Python→C++ Interop (pybind11) ist einfacher als vollständige C++ Reimplementierung

from .base import BaseTrainer
from .axolotl import AxolotlTrainer
from .unsloth import UnslothTrainer
from .peft import PEFTTrainer

class TrainerFactory:
    """Factory for creating trainer instances based on framework choice."""
    
    _trainers = {
        'axolotl': AxolotlTrainer,

    @classmethod
    def create(cls, framework: str, config) -> BaseTrainer:
        """Create trainer instance for specified framework."""
        if framework not in cls._trainers:

                           f"Available: {list(cls._trainers.keys())}")
        return cls._trainers[framework](config)

4.5 High-Level API

# themisdb_trainer/__init__.py
from .config import ThemisConfig
from .trainers import TrainerFactory

class ThemisTrainer:
    """High-level API for ThemisDB LoRA/QLoRA training."""

            json={'adapter_metadata': metadata}
        )

5. Empfohlener Workflow

5.1 End-to-End Beispiel

from themisdb_trainer import ThemisTrainer, ThemisConfig

# 1. Lade Config von ThemisDB (basierend auf Metadata)
config = ThemisConfig.from_themis_adapter(
    themis_url='http://themisdb:8765',
    adapter_id='legal-qa-v1',
    framework='axolotl',  # Oder 'unsloth' für Performance
    num_epochs=3,
    learning_rate=2e-4,
)

# 2. Training
trainer = ThemisTrainer(config)
metrics = trainer.train()
print(f"Training complete: {metrics}")

# 3. Deployment zu vLLM
trainer.deploy_to_vllm('http://vllm-server:8000')

# 4. Testen
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(base_url='http://vllm-server:8000/v1')
response = client.completions.create(
    model='mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1',
    prompt='Was sind die Voraussetzungen für eine Baugenehmigung?',
    extra_body={'lora_name': 'legal-qa-v1'}
)
print(response.choices[0].text)

5.2 CLI Workflow

# 1. Training starten
themisdb train \
  --adapter legal-qa-v1 \
  --framework axolotl \
  --themis-url http://themisdb:8765 \
  --epochs 3

# 2. Deploy zu vLLM
themisdb deploy \
  --adapter legal-qa-v1 \
  --vllm-server http://vllm:8000

# 3. Testen
curl -X POST http://vllm:8000/v1/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1",
    "prompt": "Legal question...",
    "extra_body": {"lora_name": "legal-qa-v1"}
  }'

6. Aufwands-Schätzung

  • Gradient Computation in C++ (1 Woche)
  • CUDA Kernel Development (2 Wochen)
  • Optimizer Implementation (Adam, SGD) (1 Woche)
  • Bindings (pybind11) (1 Woche)
  • Testing + Benchmarking (1 Woche)

ROI: ❌ Negativ

  • Python Frameworks (Axolotl/Unsloth) sind ausgereift
  • Training ist GPU-bound, nicht CPU-bound
  • Maintenance-Aufwand deutlich höher als Python

7. Empfehlung

🎯 Empfohlene Lösung: Option A (Python + Axolotl)

Begründung:

  1. Niedrigster Aufwand (1-2 Wochen)
  2. Production-Ready (Axolotl wird von vielen Firmen genutzt)
  3. Best Practices (Flash Attention 2, Gradient Checkpointing)
  4. OOP Design (Abstract Trainer, Factory Pattern)
  5. Erweiterbar (Unsloth/PEFT später hinzufügbar)
  6. Zero Vendor Lock-In (Apache 2.0 License)

Migration Path:

  • Phase 1: Axolotl Integration (1-2 Wochen)
  • Phase 2: Unsloth für Performance-Critical Use Cases (optional, +2 Tage)
  • Phase 3: PEFT für Custom Workflows (optional, +2 Tage)

NICHT Empfohlen: C++ Adapter

Begründung:

  • Aufwand zu hoch (1-2 Monate vs. 1-2 Wochen)
  • Kein Performance-Vorteil (Training ist GPU-bound)
  • Hoher Maintenance-Aufwand
  • Python Frameworks sind state-of-the-art

8. Kritische Analyse & Verbesserungsvorschläge

8.1 Identifizierte Fehler und Unklarheiten

❌ Fehler 1: Missverständliche llama.cpp Beschreibung

Problem: Dokument könnte implizieren, dass llama.cpp = nur Llama-Models. Tatsächlich ist llama.cpp eine universelle Inference Engine.

Korrektur:

// llama.cpp ist NICHT nur für Llama!
// llama.cpp = Universal Inference Engine für:
- Llama (alle Versionen)
- Mistral / Mixtral
- Phi-3
- Gemma
- GPT-J / GPT-NeoX
- Falcon
- und viele mehr (GGUF-Format)

// ABER: LoRA-Adapter bleiben modellspezifisch!

Verbesserung:

  • Klarstellung in Sektion 2.2 hinzugefügt
  • Explizite Trennung: Inference Engine (universal) vs. LoRA-Adapter (modellspezifisch)

⚠️ Fehler 2: Unvollständige Dimensionsanalyse

Problem: Dokument sagt "unterschiedliche Dimensionen", aber Llama-2-7B und Mistral-7B haben BEIDE 4096 hidden_size.

Präzisierung:

// Beide haben gleiche Basis-Dimension, ABER:
Llama-2-7B:
  - hidden_size: 4096
  - intermediate_size: 11008 (FFN)
  - num_attention_heads: 32
  
Mistral-7B:
  - hidden_size: 4096  // ← Gleich!
  - intermediate_size: 14336 (FFN)  // ← ANDERS! (30% größer)
  - num_attention_heads: 32  // ← Gleich!
  - num_key_value_heads: 8  // ← GQA! (Mistral-spezifisch)

Implikation:

  • LoRA auf q_proj könnte theoretisch gleiche Dimensionen haben
  • ABER: FFN-Layer haben andere Dimensionen
  • PLUS: Semantik/Weight-Verteilung ist komplett unterschiedlich

⚠️ Fehler 3: Fehlende Adapter-Format Spezifikation

Problem: Dokument erwähnt nicht, dass Adapter-Formate selbst inkompatibel sein können.

Adapter-Format Matrix:

Format Erstellt von Kompatibel mit
SafeTensors (.safetensors) HuggingFace PEFT PyTorch, HF Transformers
GGUF LoRA (.gguf) llama.cpp llama.cpp (GGUF base model)
Checkpoint (.bin, .pt) PyTorch PyTorch

Problem:

# ❌ Format-Mismatch zusätzlich zu Model-Mismatch!
llama_cpp_model.load("adapter.safetensors")  # Falsches Format
# Braucht: "adapter.gguf"

Verbesserung:

  • Adapter-Format muss zum Inference-Framework passen
  • llama.cpp braucht GGUF-LoRA
  • vLLM braucht SafeTensors
  • Konvertierung nötig: convert-lora-to-gguf.py

8.2 Nicht berücksichtigte Aspekte

1. Versionskompatibilität innerhalb desselben Models

Problem: Dokument sagt "Llama-7B ≠ Llama-13B", aber nicht "Llama-2-7B ≠ Llama-3-8B"

Erweiterte Kompatibilitätsmatrix:

Modell-Familie Kompatibilität:
├─ Llama-1-7B  ─┬─ ❌ Llama-2-7B (andere Architektur)
│               └─ ❌ Llama-3-8B (völlig andere Architektur)
│
├─ Llama-2-7B  ─┬─ ❌ Llama-2-13B (andere Dimensionen)
│               ├─ ✅ Llama-2-7B-Chat (gleiche Base-Weights!)
│               └─ ❌ Llama-3-8B
│
└─ Llama-3-8B  ─┬─ ❌ Llama-3-70B (andere Dimensionen)
                └─ ✅ Llama-3-8B-Instruct (gleiche Base-Weights!)

Wichtig:

  • Base-Model vs. Instruct-Model: ✅ Oft kompatibel (gleiche Weights)
  • Minor-Version (v0.1 vs v0.2): ⚠️ Muss geprüft werden
  • Major-Version (Llama-2 vs Llama-3): ❌ Inkompatibel

Verbesserung:

struct ModelVersion {
    string family;        // "llama", "mistral"
    int major_version;    // 2, 3
    int minor_version;    // 0, 1
    string variant;       // "base", "instruct", "chat"
    
    bool isCompatibleWith(const ModelVersion& other) const {
        return family == other.family &&
               major_version == other.major_version &&
               minor_version == other.minor_version;
        // variant ist egal (base/instruct/chat teilen Weights)
    }
};

2. Quantisierung und LoRA-Kompatibilität

Problem: Dokument erwähnt nicht: Kann ein LoRA trainiert auf FP16 mit 4-bit quantisiertem Model verwendet werden?

Antwort:Ja, ABER mit Einschränkungen

// LoRA-Adapter sind meist FP16
// Base-Model kann quantisiert sein:
auto base_model_fp16 = load_model("mistral-7b-fp16.gguf");
auto base_model_q4 = load_model("mistral-7b-Q4_K_M.gguf");

// BEIDE können GLEICHEN LoRA verwenden:
load_lora(base_model_fp16, "legal-qa.gguf");  //
load_lora(base_model_q4, "legal-qa.gguf");    //

// ABER: Accuracy kann sich unterscheiden!

Implikation:

  • LoRA-Adapter muss nicht zur Quantisierung passen
  • Training meist auf FP16/BF16
  • Inference kann auf Q4/Q8 erfolgen
  • Leichter Accuracy-Drop möglich (meist <1%)

Verbesserung:

struct QuantizationCompatibility {
    // Welche Quantisierungen wurden getestet?
    vector<string> tested_quantizations = {"fp16", "q4_k_m", "q8_0"};
    map<string, float> accuracy_by_quant = {
        {"fp16", 0.92},
        {"q4_k_m", 0.91},  // Minimal loss
        {"q8_0", 0.915}
    };
};

3. Multi-GPU Training und Deployment

Problem: Dokument beschreibt Sharding, aber nicht GPU-Parallelität innerhalb eines Trainings.

Fehlende Strategien:

A. Model Parallelism:

// Sehr große Models (70B+) passen nicht auf 1 GPU
// → Model-Parallelism nötig
struct ModelParallelConfig {
    int num_gpus = 4;
    string strategy = "pipeline";  // oder "tensor"
    
    // Pipeline Parallelism: Layer verteilen
    // GPU0: Layers 0-19
    // GPU1: Layers 20-39
    // GPU2: Layers 40-59
    // GPU3: Layers 60-79
};

B. Gradient Accumulation:

// Effektiv größere Batch-Size ohne mehr VRAM
struct GradientAccumulationConfig {
    int micro_batch_size = 2;        // Pro GPU
    int gradient_accumulation_steps = 8;
    int effective_batch_size = 2 * 8 = 16;  // Pro GPU
};

Verbesserung:

// In TrainingConfig erweitern:
struct TrainingConfig {
    // ... existing fields ...
    
    // Multi-GPU Support
    int num_gpus = 1;
    string parallelism_strategy = "data";  // data, model, pipeline
    int gradient_accumulation_steps = 1;
    
    // Mixed Precision
    bool use_fp16 = true;
    bool use_bf16 = false;  // Better for training
};

4. Adapter Merging und Stacking

Problem: Dokument erwähnt nicht: Können mehrere LoRAs kombiniert werden?

Strategien:

A. Adapter Merging:

# Mehrere LoRAs zu einem merged Adapter kombinieren
merged_adapter = merge_lora_adapters([
    "legal-qa-v1",     # Weight: 0.5
    "legal-qa-v2",     # Weight: 0.5
])
# → Neuer Adapter mit gemittelten Weights

B. Adapter Stacking:

# Mehrere LoRAs sequentiell anwenden
model.load_lora("domain-adaptation")   # Erst Domain
model.load_lora("task-specific")       # Dann Task
# → Beide Adapter aktiv, additive Effekte

C. Adapter Composition:

# LoRA für verschiedene Aspekte
model.load_lora("style-formal")        # Stil
model.load_lora("domain-legal")        # Domain
model.load_lora("language-german")     # Sprache
# → Multi-dimensionale Anpassung

Limitationen:

  • Nicht alle Frameworks unterstützen Multi-LoRA
  • llama.cpp: ❌ Nur 1 LoRA zur Zeit
  • vLLM: ❌ Nur 1 LoRA pro Request
  • PEFT: ✅ Multi-LoRA möglich

Verbesserung:

class MultiAdapterManager {
public:
    // Merge multiple adapters
    AdapterWeights mergeAdapters(
        const vector<string>& adapter_ids,
        const vector<float>& weights
    );
    
    // Check if framework supports multi-adapter
    bool supportsMultiAdapter(const string& framework);
};

5. Continual Learning und Catastrophic Forgetting

Problem: Was passiert bei inkrementellem Training? Vergisst der Adapter altes Wissen?

Catastrophic Forgetting:

# Training auf Legal-Domain
train_lora("legal-qa-v1", legal_data)  # Loss: 0.5

# Weitertraining auf Medical-Domain
train_lora("legal-qa-v2", medical_data, 
           parent="legal-qa-v1")
# → Legal-Performance degradiert! (Loss: 0.8)

Lösungen:

A. Elastic Weight Consolidation (EWC):

struct ContinualLearningConfig {
    bool enable_ewc = true;
    float ewc_lambda = 0.4;  // Wie stark alte Weights geschützt werden
    
    // Wichtige alte Weights bekommen höhere Penalty
    map<string, float> weight_importance;
};

B. Multi-Task Learning:

// Beide Domains gleichzeitig trainieren
struct MultiTaskConfig {
    vector<TaskDataset> tasks = {
        {"legal", legal_data, 0.5},    // 50% Legal
        {"medical", medical_data, 0.5}  // 50% Medical
    };
};

C. Progressive Neural Networks:

// Neue LoRA-Layer für neue Tasks, alte bleiben frozen
model.add_lora("legal-qa-v1");    // Frozen
model.add_lora("medical-v1");     // Trainable

Verbesserung:

struct IncrementalTrainingConfig {
    string parent_adapter_id;
    
    enum class Strategy {
        FINETUNE,           // Weitertrainieren (Forgetting möglich)
        EWC,                // Elastic Weight Consolidation
        MULTI_TASK,         // Beide Domains gleichzeitig
        PROGRESSIVE         // Neue LoRA-Layer
    } strategy = Strategy::EWC;
    
    float ewc_lambda = 0.4;
};

8.3 Strategieverbesserungen

Verbesserung 1: Adapter Testing Framework

Problem: Keine systematische Qualitätssicherung für Adapter.

Lösung:

class AdapterTestSuite {
public:
    struct TestResult {
        float accuracy;
        float latency_ms;
        float perplexity;
        map<string, float> domain_specific_metrics;
    };
    
    // Automatische Tests nach Training
    TestResult runTests(
        const string& adapter_id,
        const TestDataset& test_data
    ) {
        TestResult result;
        
        // 1. Accuracy Test
        result.accuracy = computeAccuracy(adapter_id, test_data);
        
        // 2. Latency Test
        result.latency_ms = benchmarkLatency(adapter_id);
        
        // 3. Perplexity Test
        result.perplexity = computePerplexity(adapter_id, test_data);
        
        // 4. Domain-specific Tests
        if (test_data.domain == "legal") {
            result.domain_specific_metrics["citation_accuracy"] = 
                testCitationAccuracy(adapter_id);
        }
        
        return result;
    }
    
    // Regression Tests beim Update
    bool checkRegression(
        const string& new_adapter,
        const string& old_adapter,
        float max_degradation = 0.05  // Max 5% worse
    ) {
        auto new_result = runTests(new_adapter, validation_set);
        auto old_result = runTests(old_adapter, validation_set);
        
        return (old_result.accuracy - new_result.accuracy) < max_degradation;
    }
};

Verbesserung 2: Adapter Versioning und Rollback

Problem: Was wenn ein neuer Adapter schlechter ist als der alte?

Lösung:

class AdapterVersionControl {
public:
    // Semantic Versioning für Adapters
    struct AdapterVersion {
        int major;  // Breaking changes (re-trained from scratch)
        int minor;  // New data added
        int patch;  // Bug fixes, hyperparameter tuning
        
        string toString() const {
            return fmt::format("{}.{}.{}", major, minor, patch);
        }
    };
    
    // Deployment mit Canary-Testing
    void deployWithCanary(
        const string& adapter_id,
        const AdapterVersion& version
    ) {
        // 1. Deploy als "canary"
        deploy(adapter_id, version, "canary");
        
        // 2. 5% traffic zu canary
        router.setTrafficSplit(adapter_id, {
            {"production", 0.95},
            {"canary", 0.05}
        });
        
        // 3. Monitor metrics
        auto canary_metrics = monitor(adapter_id, "canary", duration_minutes=30);
        auto prod_metrics = monitor(adapter_id, "production", duration_minutes=30);
        
        // 4. Rollout oder Rollback
        if (canary_metrics.accuracy >= prod_metrics.accuracy * 0.98) {
            // Canary is good → full rollout
            router.setTrafficSplit(adapter_id, {{"canary", 1.0}});
            promote("canary" -> "production");
        } else {
            // Canary is bad → rollback
            rollback(adapter_id, "canary");
        }
    }
};

Verbesserung 3: Adapter Discovery und Recommendation

Problem: User weiß nicht, welcher Adapter für seine Query am besten ist.

Lösung:

class AdapterRecommendationEngine {
public:
    // Automatische Adapter-Auswahl
    string recommendAdapter(
        const string& query,
        const vector<string>& available_adapters
    ) {
        // 1. Klassifiziere Query (Legal? Medical? Technical?)
        auto query_domain = classifyDomain(query);
        
        // 2. Filtere relevante Adapters
        auto candidates = filterByDomain(available_adapters, query_domain);
        
        // 3. Ranking nach Performance
        sort(candidates.begin(), candidates.end(), [](auto& a, auto& b) {
            return a.performance_score > b.performance_score;
        });
        
        // 4. Return best adapter
        return candidates.empty() ? "base_model" : candidates[0].id;
    }
    
    // Multi-Adapter Ensemble
    string ensembleQuery(
        const string& query,
        const vector<string>& adapter_ids
    ) {
        vector<string> responses;
        for (const auto& adapter : adapter_ids) {
            responses.push_back(queryWithAdapter(query, adapter));
        }
        
        // Vote oder merge responses
        return mergeResponses(responses);
    }
};

Verbesserung 4: Cost-Aware Training Scheduler

Problem: Training ist teuer. Wann soll re-training erfolgen?

Lösung:

class AdaptiveRetrainingScheduler {
public:
    // Entscheidung: Wann neu trainieren?
    bool shouldRetrain(const string& adapter_id) {
        auto adapter = registry.getAdapter(adapter_id);
        
        // Kriterien:
        // 1. Neue Daten verfügbar?
        size_t new_samples = countNewSamples(adapter.last_training_date);
        if (new_samples < min_samples_for_retrain) return false;
        
        // 2. Performance degradation?
        float current_accuracy = benchmark(adapter_id);
        if (current_accuracy < adapter.baseline_accuracy * 0.95) {
            return true;  // >5% drop → retrain
        }
        
        // 3. Cost-Benefit Analysis
        float training_cost = estimateTrainingCost(new_samples);
        float expected_improvement = estimateImprovement(new_samples);
        float value_of_improvement = expected_improvement * query_volume * value_per_query;
        
        return value_of_improvement > training_cost * 2;  // 2x ROI minimum
    }
    
    // Scheduled Background Retraining
    void scheduleRetraining(const string& adapter_id) {
        if (!shouldRetrain(adapter_id)) return;
        
        // Find off-peak hours for training
        auto off_peak_time = findOffPeakWindow();
        
        scheduler.schedule(off_peak_time, [=]() {
            incrementalTrain(adapter_id);
        });
    }
};

Strategische Entscheidungen:

  1. ✅ Ed25519 für Signaturen (schnell, sicher)
  2. ✅ SHA-256 für Content Hashing
  3. ✅ Semantic Versioning (SemVer)
  4. ✅ Manifest-basierte Provenance
  5. ✅ Chain of Trust für incremental training
  6. ✅ PKI-basiertes Key Management
  7. ✅ Immutable Audit Trail
  8. ✅ Compliance-aware Deployment

8.8 ThemisDB Extended GGUF Format (GGUF-ST)

Anforderung: GGUF als Basis-Format, aber mit eingebetteten SafeTensors für bessere Interoperabilität und Sicherheit.

Ziel:

  • ✅ llama.cpp Kompatibilität (GGUF)
  • ✅ SafeTensors Vorteile (Sicherheit, Inspection)
  • ✅ Erweiterbar für ThemisDB-spezifische Metadata

8.8.1 Format-Spezifikation: GGUF-ST

GGUF-ST = GGUF + Embedded SafeTensors + ThemisDB Extensions

8.8.3 Vorteile von GGUF-ST

1. llama.cpp Kompatibilität:

// Standard llama.cpp kann GGUF-ST lesen (ignoriert ThemisDB Sections)
auto model = llama_load_model("mistral-7b.gguf");
auto lora = llama_load_lora("legal-qa-v1.gguf-st");  // ✓ Funktioniert!
// llama.cpp liest nur GGUF-Teil, ignoriert SafeTensors/Signature/Manifest

2. SafeTensors Vorteile:

# Python kann SafeTensors extrahieren
from themisdb_tools import GGUFSTReader

adapter = GGUFSTReader("legal-qa-v1.gguf-st")

# Extract SafeTensors for inspection/conversion
safetensors = adapter.extract_safetensors()
# → Kann mit HuggingFace PEFT verwendet werden

# Verify without loading full model
if adapter.verify_signature():
    print("Adapter integrity verified!")

3. Verifikation ohne vollständiges Laden:

// Nur Signature/Manifest lesen (schnell)
GGUFSTAdapter reader;
auto header = reader.readHeader("legal-qa-v1.gguf-st");

// Signature prüfen ohne tensors zu laden
if (reader.verifySignatureOnly(header)) {
    // OK, dann erst laden
    auto adapter = reader.read("legal-qa-v1.gguf-st");
}

4. Konvertierung:

class GGUFSTConverter {
public:
    // SafeTensors → GGUF-ST
    void safetensorsToGGUFST(
        const std::string& safetensors_path,
        const std::string& gguf_st_path,
        const AdapterManifest& manifest
    ) {
        // 1. Load SafeTensors
        auto weights_fp16 = loadSafeTensors(safetensors_path);
        
        // 2. Quantize to Q4_K_M
        auto weights_q4 = quantize(weights_fp16, QuantType::Q4_K_M);
        
        // 3. Sign
        auto signature = signer_.signAdapter(weights_q4, manifest);
        
        // 4. Write GGUF-ST (with both quantized + original)
        GGUFSTAdapter writer;
        writer.write(gguf_st_path, weights_q4, manifest, signature);
    }
    
    // GGUF-ST → SafeTensors (extract)
    void ggufstToSafeTensors(
        const std::string& gguf_st_path,
        const std::string& safetensors_path
    ) {
        GGUFSTAdapter reader;
        auto adapter = reader.read(gguf_st_path);
        
        if (!adapter.signature_valid) {
            throw SecurityException("Signature invalid!");
        }
        
        // Extract embedded SafeTensors
        writeSafeTensors(safetensors_path, adapter.weights_fp16);
    }
};

8.8.4 Dateigröße-Optimierung

Problem: Embedding SafeTensors verdoppelt fast die Dateigröße.

Lösung: Optionale SafeTensors:

struct GGUFSTOptions {
    bool embed_safetensors = true;   // Default: Ja
    bool compress_safetensors = true; // ZSTD compression
    
    // Size modes
    enum class SizeMode {
        FULL,          // GGUF + SafeTensors (beide vorhanden)
        COMPACT,       // Nur GGUF (SafeTensors optional entfernt)
        SIGNATURE_ONLY // Nur Signature + Manifest (kein Tensor-Data)
    } size_mode = SizeMode::FULL;
};

// Beispiel Größen:
// legal-qa-v1.gguf-st (FULL):          20 MB (GGUF: 16MB + ST: 4MB)
// legal-qa-v1.gguf-st (COMPACT):       16 MB (nur GGUF)
// legal-qa-v1.gguf-st (SIGNATURE):    100 KB (nur Metadata)

3-Tier Deployment:

// Production: Compact (nur GGUF)
deploy("legal-qa-v1.gguf-st", SizeMode::COMPACT);

// Development: Full (mit SafeTensors für debugging)
deploy("legal-qa-v1.gguf-st", SizeMode::FULL);

// Registry: Signature-only (für Katalog)
register("legal-qa-v1.gguf-st", SizeMode::SIGNATURE_ONLY);

8.8.5 AQL Integration

-- Create adapter in GGUF-ST format
TRAIN ADAPTER legal_qa_v1
  FROM documents
  WHERE category = 'Rechtssprechung'

    output_format = 'GGUF-ST',           -- ⭐ NEW
    embed_safetensors = TRUE,            -- ⭐ NEW
    compress_safetensors = TRUE,         -- ⭐ NEW
    sign_adapter = TRUE;                 -- ⭐ NEW

-- Convert existing adapter
CONVERT ADAPTER legal_qa_v1
  FROM 'safetensors'
  TO 'GGUF-ST'
  WITH
    quantization = 'Q4_K_M',
    embed_original = TRUE,
    sign = TRUE;

-- Verify adapter
VERIFY ADAPTER legal_qa_v1
  CHECK signature,
        manifest,
        safetensors_match;  -- Verify quantized matches original

8.8.6 Migration Path

class AdapterMigrationTool {
public:
    // Migrate all adapters to GGUF-ST
    void migrateToGGUFST(
        const std::vector<std::string>& adapter_ids
    ) {
        for (const auto& adapter_id : adapter_ids) {
            auto adapter_info = registry_.getAdapter(adapter_id);
            
            if (adapter_info.format == "safetensors") {
                // SafeTensors → GGUF-ST
                converter_.safetensorsToGGUFST(
                    adapter_info.path,
                    adapter_info.path + ".gguf-st",
                    adapter_info.manifest
                );
            }
            else if (adapter_info.format == "gguf") {
                // Pure GGUF → GGUF-ST (add signature + manifest)
                upgradeToGGUFST(
                    adapter_info.path,
                    adapter_info.manifest
                );
            }
            
            // Update registry
            adapter_info.format = "GGUF-ST";
            adapter_info.path += ".gguf-st";
            registry_.update(adapter_id, adapter_info);
        }
    }
};

8.8.7 GGUF Compression & File Size Optimization

Frage: Besitzt GGUF inline Kompression?

Antwort: Ja! GGUF unterstützt Quantisierung (lossy compression) als primäre Kompressionsmethode. Zusätzlich kann ZSTD/LZ4 für lossless compression verwendet werden.

Compression-Strategien für minimale Dateigröße

1. Quantisierung (Hauptkompression in GGUF):

GGUF verwendet aggressive Quantisierung zur Reduktion der Dateigröße:

// Quantisierungs-Typen (sortiert nach Kompression)
enum class QuantizationType {
    F32,      // 32-bit float (keine Kompression) - Baseline
    F16,      // 16-bit float (50% kleiner als F32)
    Q8_0,     // 8-bit quantized (75% kleiner als F32)
    Q6_K,     // 6-bit quantized (81% kleiner)
    Q5_K_M,   // 5-bit quantized (84% kleiner)
    Q4_K_M,   // 4-bit quantized (87.5% kleiner) ⭐ Empfohlen
    Q3_K_M,   // 3-bit quantized (90% kleiner)
    Q2_K,     // 2-bit quantized (93.75% kleiner) - Aggressive
};

// LoRA Adapter Größenvergleich (Mistral-7B, rank=8):
// F32:    64 MB (Original)
// F16:    32 MB (50% Reduktion)
// Q8_0:   16 MB (75% Reduktion)
// Q4_K_M:  8 MB (87.5% Reduktion) ⭐ Best Trade-off
// Q2_K:    4 MB (93.75% Reduktion) - Accuracy loss

Empfehlung für ThemisDB:

  • Production: Q4_K_M (8MB pro Adapter, <1% accuracy loss)
  • High-Accuracy: Q8_0 (16MB pro Adapter, <0.1% accuracy loss)
  • Extreme Compression: Q2_K (4MB pro Adapter, ~2-3% accuracy loss)

2. Zusätzliche Lossless Compression (ZSTD/LZ4):

GGUF-ST kann zusätzlich ZSTD für lossless compression nutzen:

struct GGUFSTCompressionOptions {
    // Quantization (lossy, primary)
    QuantizationType quantization = QuantizationType::Q4_K_M;
    
    // Additional lossless compression (optional)
    enum class LosslessCompression {
        NONE,     // Keine zusätzliche Kompression
        ZSTD,     // Zstandard (beste Ratio, etwas langsamer)
        LZ4       // LZ4 (schneller, geringere Ratio)
    } lossless = LosslessCompression::ZSTD;
    
    int zstd_level = 3;  // 1-22 (3 = guter Trade-off)
    
    // Welche Sections komprimieren?
    bool compress_tensor_data = false;  // Meist schon quantisiert
    bool compress_safetensors = true;   // SafeTensors: ~30% kleiner
    bool compress_manifest = true;      // Manifest: ~50% kleiner
};

// Größenvergleich mit ZSTD:
// Q4_K_M ohne ZSTD:        8.0 MB
// Q4_K_M + ZSTD (level 3): 7.2 MB  (10% weitere Reduktion)
// Q4_K_M + ZSTD (level 19): 6.8 MB (15% weitere Reduktion, aber langsam)

3. Selektive Embedding-Strategien:

GGUF-ST erlaubt flexible Embedding-Optionen:

struct GGUFSTSizeMode {
    enum class Mode {
        // FULL: Alle Daten embedded
        FULL,           // GGUF (Q4) + SafeTensors (F16) + Sig + Manifest
                        // Size: 8 MB + 4 MB + 1 KB + 10 KB = ~12 MB
        
        // COMPACT: Nur GGUF + Signatur
        COMPACT,        // GGUF (Q4) + Sig + Manifest (kein SafeTensors)
                        // Size: 8 MB + 1 KB + 10 KB = ~8 MB ⭐ Empfohlen
        
        // ULTRA_COMPACT: GGUF + komprimierte Signatur
        ULTRA_COMPACT,  // GGUF (Q4) + Sig only
                        // Size: 8 MB + 1 KB = ~8 MB
        
        // SIGNATURE_ONLY: Nur Metadata
        SIGNATURE_ONLY  // Nur Sig + Manifest (Registry/Katalog)
                        // Size: ~100 KB
    } mode = Mode::COMPACT;
    
    // Optional: SafeTensors auch quantisieren
    bool quantize_safetensors = true;  // F16 → Q8 (~50% kleiner)
};

// Größenvergleich:
// FULL:            12 MB (Verification + Conversion)
// COMPACT:          8 MB (Production) ⭐
// ULTRA_COMPACT:    8 MB (Minimal Metadata)
// SIGNATURE_ONLY: 100 KB (Registry)

4. Implementierung mit Compression:

public:
    // Write mit Compression
    void write(
        const std::string& output_path,

    ) {
        std::ofstream out(output_path, std::ios::binary);
        
        // 1. Quantize weights
        auto quantized = quantizeWeights(weights, opts.quantization);
        
        // 2. Write GGUF (quantized)
        writeGGUFHeader(out, quantized);
        writeGGUFTensorData(out, quantized);
        
        // 3. Write SafeTensors (optional, compressed)
        if (opts.mode == SizeMode::FULL) {
            auto safetensors_data = serializeSafeTensors(weights);
            
            if (opts.compress_safetensors) {
                safetensors_data = compressZSTD(
                    safetensors_data, 
                    opts.zstd_level
                );
            }
            
            writeSafeTensorsSection(out, safetensors_data, 
                                   opts.compress_safetensors);
        }
        
        // 4. Write Signature
        writeSignature(out, signature);
        
        // 5. Write Manifest (compressed)
        auto manifest_data = serializeManifest(manifest);
        if (opts.compress_manifest) {
            manifest_data = compressZSTD(manifest_data, opts.zstd_level);
        }
        writeManifest(out, manifest_data, opts.compress_manifest);
    }

    std::vector<uint8_t> compressZSTD(
        const std::vector<uint8_t>& data,
        int level
    ) {
        size_t compressed_size = ZSTD_compressBound(data.size());
        std::vector<uint8_t> compressed(compressed_size);
        
        size_t actual_size = ZSTD_compress(
            compressed.data(), 
            compressed_size,
            data.data(), 
            data.size(),
            level
        );
        
        compressed.resize(actual_size);
        return compressed;
    }
    
    // Decompression
    std::vector<uint8_t> decompressZSTD(
        const std::vector<uint8_t>& compressed
    ) {

};

    .quantization = QuantizationType::Q4_K_M,  // 87.5% kleiner
    .lossless = LosslessCompression::ZSTD,     // Zusätzlich ~10%

Zusammenfassung:

GGUF hat inline Compression via Quantisierung

  • Q4_K_M = 87.5% Reduktion (32MB → 8MB)
  • Zusätzlich ZSTD für Metadata (~10% weitere Reduktion)

Empfehlung für ThemisDB:

  • Production: GGUF-ST COMPACT + Q4_K_M = ~8 MB pro Adapter
  • High-Accuracy: Q8_0 = ~16 MB pro Adapter
  • Storage: 3 Domänen × 8 MB = 24 MB (statt 96 MB)

8.9 Zusammenfassung der Verbesserungen

Implementiert in diesem Commit:

  1. Klarstellung llama.cpp vs. LoRA-Adapter

    • llama.cpp = Universal Inference Engine

9. Best-Practice Validation & Existing Infrastructure Integration

9.1 ThemisDB Infrastructure Audit

Was ist bereits vorhanden (implementiert):

✅ 1. JSONL LLM Exporter (include/exporters/jsonl_llm_exporter.h)

class JSONLLLMExporter : public IExporter {
    // Bereits implementiert:
    - Instruction Tuning, Chat Completion, Text Completion Formate
    - Weighting-Strategien (freshness, length-based)
    - Quality Filtering (min/max length, duplicates)
    - Schema Validation (Outlines-kompatibel)
    - LoRA Adapter Metadata Tracking
    - vLLM Integration Metadata
    - Multi-Format Support
};

Synergien: ✅ Kann direkt für Training-Daten Export genutzt werden!

✅ 2. vLLM Multi-LoRA Integration (docs/exporters/VLLM_MULTI_LORA_INTEGRATION.md)

Bereits dokumentiert:
- vLLM Multi-Adapter Serving Architecture
- Adapter Metadata Tracking
- Dynamic Adapter Loading per Request
- Batch Processing mit verschiedenen Adaptern
- Integration mit ThemisDB JSONL Export

Synergien: ✅ Inference-Infrastruktur bereits vorhanden! Nur Training fehlt.

✅ 3. Sharding Infrastructure (include/sharding/)

namespace themis::sharding {
    class ShardTopology;       // Shard-Verwaltung
    class ShardRouter;         // Query-Routing
    class WALApplier;          // Replikation
    class CircuitBreaker;      // Fehlertoleranz
    class ShardLoadDetector;   // Load Balancing
}

Synergien: ✅ Distributed Training kann auf existierender Sharding-Infrastruktur aufbauen!

✅ 4. ZSTD Compression Support (CMakeLists.txt)

find_package(zstd CONFIG)
set(THEMIS_ZSTD_TARGET zstd::libzstd_shared)

Synergien: ✅ ZSTD bereits verfügbar für GGUF-ST Compression!

✅ 5. Storage Layer (include/storage/)

- RocksDBWrapper: Zero-copy Datenzugriff
- BlobStorageManager: Große Dateien (Models/Adapters)
- SecuritySignatureManager: Krypto-Signaturen
- BaseEntity: Einheitliches Datenmodell

Synergien: ✅ Storage-Layer ready für Adapter-Verwaltung!

✅ 6. Exporter Interface (include/exporters/exporter_interface.h)

class IExporter {
    virtual ExportStats exportEntities(
        const std::vector<BaseEntity>& entities,
        const ExportOptions& options
    ) = 0;
};

Synergien: ✅ OOP-Interface für neue Training-Exporter!


9.2 Best-Practice Alignment

Industry Best Practices (validiert gegen ThemisDB Strategie):

1. ✅ Adapter Registry Pattern (Best Practice: HuggingFace Hub)

Best Practice:

  • Zentrales Adapter-Registry
  • Versionierung (SemVer)
  • Metadata (Base-Model, Task, Domain)
  • Provenance Tracking

ThemisDB Strategie:

class BaseModelAwareAdapterRegistry {
    map<string, vector<AdapterInfo>> adapters_by_base_model;
    AdapterManifest getAdapter(string adapter_id);
    void registerAdapter(AdapterMetadata metadata);
};

Status: ✅ Aligned mit Industry Best Practice

2. ✅ Quantization Strategy (Best Practice: GGML/llama.cpp)

Best Practice:

  • Q4_K_M für Production (87.5% Reduktion, <1% Accuracy Loss)
  • Q8_0 für High-Accuracy
  • Flexible Quantisierung post-training

ThemisDB Strategie:

QuantizationType::Q4_K_M  // Default
+ ZSTD Compression (optional +10%)
+ Size Modes (FULL/COMPACT/SIGNATURE_ONLY)

Status: ✅ Besser als Best Practice (zusätzlich ZSTD + Size Modes)

3. ✅ Cryptographic Signing (Best Practice: Sigstore, TUF)

Best Practice:

  • Ed25519 Signaturen (schnell, sicher)
  • SHA-256 Content Hashing
  • Chain of Trust
  • Timestamp Authority

ThemisDB Strategie:

struct AdapterSignature {
    string content_hash;     // SHA-256 ✓
    string signature;        // Ed25519 ✓
    string parent_adapter_signature;  // Chain of Trust ✓
    string signing_timestamp;  // Timestamp ✓
};

Status: ✅ Vollständig aligned mit Sigstore/TUF Best Practices

4. ✅ Semantic Versioning (Best Practice: SemVer 2.0)

Best Practice:

  • major.minor.patch
  • Pre-release Tags (alpha, beta, rc)
  • Build Metadata

ThemisDB Strategie:

struct AdapterVersion {
    int major, minor, patch;
    string pre_release;      // "alpha", "beta"
    string build_metadata;   // "+20251219.abcd123"
};

Status: ✅ SemVer 2.0 compliant

5. ✅ OOP Design Patterns

Factory Pattern:

class TrainerFactory {
    static unique_ptr<ITrainer> create(
        string framework,  // "llama.cpp", "axolotl"
        TrainingConfig config
    );
};

Strategy Pattern:

class ICompressionStrategy {
    virtual vector<uint8_t> compress(vector<uint8_t> data) = 0;
};

class ZSTDCompression : public ICompressionStrategy { };
class LZ4Compression : public ICompressionStrategy { };

Observer Pattern:

class TrainingProgressObserver {
    virtual void onEpochComplete(int epoch, float loss) = 0;
    virtual void onBatchComplete(int batch, float loss) = 0;
};

Status: ✅ Klassische OOP Patterns korrekt angewendet

6. ✅ Zero-Copy Architecture (Best Practice: Apache Arrow, RocksDB)

Best Practice:

  • Memory-Mapped I/O
  • Shared Memory
  • DirectByteBuffer

ThemisDB:

class BatchGenerator {
    // Zero-copy iteration über RocksDB
    BaseEntity* nextBatch() {
        return rocksdb_->getIterator()->value();  // Kein Kopieren!
    }
};

Status: ✅ Zero-Copy mit RocksDB already implemented


9.3 Integration mit vorhandener ThemisDB Infrastruktur

Konkrete Integration-Points:

Integration 1: Training Data Export

Vorhandene Komponente: JSONLLLMExporter

Integration:

// Erweitern, NICHT neu bauen!
class JSONLLLMExporter : public IExporter {
public:
    // Neue Methode hinzufügen:
    ExportStats exportForTraining(
        const TrainingQuery& query,          // NEW: AQL Query
        const AdapterManifest& manifest,     // NEW: Manifest
        const GGUFSTCompressionOptions& opts // NEW: Compression
    ) {
        // Nutze existing exportEntities() intern
        auto entities = executeQuery(query);
        auto options = convertToExportOptions(manifest, opts);
        return exportEntities(entities, options);
    }
};

Vorteil: ✅ Wiederverwendung von existing Code

Integration 2: Adapter Storage

Vorhandene Komponente: BlobStorageManager

Integration:

class AdapterStorageManager : public BlobStorageManager {
public:
    // Nutze existing Blob Storage für große Adapter-Dateien
    void storeAdapter(
        const string& adapter_id,
        const GGUFSTAdapter& adapter
    ) {
        // Existing BlobStorageManager::store()
        storeBlob(
            "adapters/" + adapter_id + ".gguf-st",
            adapter.serialize()
        );
    }
    
    GGUFSTAdapter loadAdapter(const string& adapter_id) {
        // Existing BlobStorageManager::load()
        auto data = loadBlob("adapters/" + adapter_id + ".gguf-st");
        return GGUFSTAdapter::deserialize(data);
    }
};

Vorteil: ✅ Nutzt existing redundancy, backup, sharding

Integration 3: Signature Verification

Vorhandene Komponente: SecuritySignatureManager

Integration:

class AdapterSigner {
private:
    SecuritySignatureManager& sec_manager_;  // Existing!
    
public:
    AdapterSignature signAdapter(
        const string& adapter_path,
        const PrivateKey& key
    ) {
        // Nutze existing SecuritySignatureManager
        auto content_hash = sec_manager_.computeHash(adapter_path);
        auto signature = sec_manager_.sign(content_hash, key);
        
        return AdapterSignature{
            .content_hash = content_hash,
            .signature = signature,
            .signing_timestamp = getCurrentTimestamp()
        };
    }
};

Vorteil: ✅ Wiederverwendung von existing Crypto-Infrastruktur

Integration 4: Distributed Training

Vorhandene Komponente: ShardRouter, ShardTopology

Integration:

class DistributedTrainingCoordinator {
private:
    ShardRouter& router_;          // Existing!
    ShardTopology& topology_;      // Existing!
    
public:
    void trainDistributed(
        const string& adapter_id,
        const TrainingConfig& config
    ) {
        // Nutze existing ShardTopology für Shard-Liste
        auto active_shards = topology_.getActiveShards();
        
        // Nutze existing ShardRouter für Kommunikation
        for (const auto& shard : active_shards) {
            router_.execute(shard, {
                {"command", "train_local"},
                {"adapter_id", adapter_id},
                {"config", serializeConfig(config)}
            });
        }
        
        // Gradient Aggregation (new)
        aggregateGradients(active_shards);
    }
};

Vorteil: ✅ Nutzt existing Sharding-Infrastruktur

Integration 5: Compression

Vorhandene Komponente: ZSTD Library (already linked)

Integration:

class CompressedGGUFSTAdapter {
private:
    // ZSTD bereits verfügbar via CMakeLists.txt
    std::vector<uint8_t> compressZSTD(
        const std::vector<uint8_t>& data,
        int level
    ) {
        // Nutze existing ZSTD (bereits in CMake)
        size_t compressed_size = ZSTD_compressBound(data.size());
        std::vector<uint8_t> compressed(compressed_size);
        
        size_t actual_size = ZSTD_compress(
            compressed.data(), compressed_size,
            data.data(), data.size(),
            level
        );
        
        compressed.resize(actual_size);
        return compressed;
    }
};

Vorteil: ✅ ZSTD bereits als Dependency vorhanden


9.4 Synergien mit anderen Libraries/Projekten

Synergie 1: llama.cpp Training Support (v1.3.0 planned)

ThemisDB erwähnt llama.cpp v1.3.0 in Roadmap

Geplante llama.cpp Features:

  • llama_train() API
  • LoRA Training Support
  • GGUF Output Format

ThemisDB Integration:

class LlamaCppTrainingBackend : public ITrainingBackend {
public:
    void train(
        const TrainingConfig& config,
        const TrainingDataIterator& data
    ) {
        // Nutze llama.cpp v1.3.0 Training API (wenn verfügbar)
        llama_context* ctx = llama_init_from_file(config.base_model);
        llama_lora_adapter* adapter = llama_lora_adapter_init(ctx, config.lora_rank);
        
        // Training loop
        while (data.hasNext()) {
            auto batch = data.nextBatch();
            llama_train_batch(ctx, adapter, batch);
        }
        
        // Save als GGUF
        llama_lora_adapter_save(adapter, config.output_path);
    }
};

Status: ⏳ Waiting for llama.cpp v1.3.0 release

Synergie 2: HuggingFace PEFT Library

Für Python Training (optional):

from peft import LoraConfig, get_peft_model
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM

# ThemisDB könnte optional Python-Bridge haben
class HuggingFacePEFTBridge:
    def train_with_peft(self, config):
        # Load von ThemisDB exported JSONL
        dataset = load_dataset("json", data_files=config.themisdb_export)
        
        # PEFT Training
        model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(config.base_model)
        lora_config = LoraConfig(r=config.lora_rank, ...)
        peft_model = get_peft_model(model, lora_config)
        
        # Training
        trainer = Trainer(model=peft_model, train_dataset=dataset)
        trainer.train()
        
        # Save als SafeTensors
        peft_model.save_pretrained(config.output_path)
        
        # Convert to GGUF-ST (zurück zu ThemisDB)
        convert_to_gguf_st(config.output_path, config.themisdb_import)

Status: ✅ Optional für Hybrid Python/C++ Setup

Synergie 3: RocksDB Iterator für Streaming Training

RocksDB bereits in ThemisDB verwendet:

class RocksDBTrainingDataIterator : public ITrainingDataIterator {
private:
    rocksdb::Iterator* it_;  // Existing RocksDB!
    
public:
    TrainingBatch nextBatch() override {
        TrainingBatch batch;
        
        // Zero-copy iteration
        for (size_t i = 0; i < batch_size_ && it_->Valid(); ++i) {
            // Kein Kopieren! Direkt aus RocksDB
            batch.samples.push_back({
                .input = it_->value().ToString(),  // RocksDB Slice
                .metadata = parseMetadata(it_->key())
            });
            it_->Next();
        }
        
        return batch;
    }
};

Vorteil: ✅ Zero-copy, kein JSONL Export nötig für inline training

Synergie 4: vLLM Serving (already integrated!)

vLLM bereits dokumentiert in ThemisDB:

docs/exporters/VLLM_MULTI_LORA_INTEGRATION.md

Integration:

class VLLMAdapterDeployment {
public:
    void deployToVLLM(
        const string& adapter_id,
        const string& vllm_server
    ) {
        // 1. Lade Adapter aus ThemisDB BlobStorage
        auto adapter = adapter_storage_.loadAdapter(adapter_id);
        
        // 2. Verifiziere Signatur
        if (!verifySignature(adapter)) {
            throw SecurityException("Invalid adapter signature!");
        }
        
        // 3. Deploy zu vLLM (existing integration!)
        auto response = httpPost(vllm_server + "/v1/load_lora_adapter", {
            {"lora_name", adapter_id},
            {"lora_path", adapter.path}
        });
        
        // 4. Registriere in vLLM Metadata (existing!)
        vllm_metadata_.registerAdapter(adapter_id, adapter.manifest);
    }
};

Status: ✅ vLLM Integration already exists!
