DM-JEPA 1.5 (Apple Silicon MLX Edition)

DM-JEPA 1.5 MLX is the official Apple Silicon MLX port of DM-JEPA 1.5 (94.24M parameters), engineered for real-time System 1 autonomous decision making on Mac (M1/M2/M3/M4/M5) with native Apple Metal unified memory acceleration.

Powered by Apple's MLX framework, this release provides bit-accurate mathematical parity ($< 1.55 \times 10^{-6}$ max logit difference) with the reference PyTorch weights, while taking full advantage of unified memory bandwidth and Metal shader cores.

⚡ Key Highlights

• Sub-Quadratic Cartesian Block Butterfly Architecture:
  • Replaces traditional $O(D^2)$ dense FFN weights with $O(D \sqrt{D})$ Cartesian factorization ($p=32, q=32$).
  • 75% parameter reduction in linear transforms and $3\times$ faster execution on Metal.
• Adaptive Energy Predictive Depth (JEPA 2.0):
  • Formulates decision reasoning directly in latent thought space rather than autoregressive token decoding.
  • Dynamically monitors thought energy equilibrium $\Delta E = \frac{|z_{m} - z_{m-1}|_2}{\sqrt{D}}$, allowing clear decisions to stabilize in 1 step while allocating up to 4 rollout steps for complex causal edge cases.
• Hierarchical Riemannian Manifold Metric:
  • Employs a learned Block-Butterfly Metric Tensor $M = B_1 \times B_2$ to project candidate decisions on a Riemannian manifold for non-linear option discrimination.
• Official Jevman Benchmark #1:
  • Achieved the lowest fallback rate (1.7%) and ultra-low latency on the official opper-ai/jevman-benchmark.

🚀 Quickstart

Installation

Requires macOS with Apple Silicon and Python $\ge 3.10$:

pip install mlx tokenizers huggingface_hub

Direct Python Usage

from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download
from dm_jepa_1_5_mlx import load_model

# Download model from Hugging Face
model_path = snapshot_download(repo_id="DangerLabs/dm-jepa-1.5-mlx")
engine = load_model(model_path)

# Prompt state & candidate actions
instructions = (
    "Autonomous Vehicle ego agent: Approaching signalized intersection at 45 mph. "
    "Traffic signal transitions from Green to Amber 35 meters ahead. Lead vehicle is braking moderately."
)
options = [
    "Execute controlled stop before the stop bar with 3.2 m/s^2 deceleration.",
    "Accelerate to 52 mph to clear intersection before red phase.",
    "Maintain velocity and proceed through intersection during amber."
]

# Run instant System 1 decision
result = engine.decide(instructions, options)

print(f"🎯 Action: {result['best_option']}")
print(f"Confidence: {result['confidence'] * 100:.2f}%\n")

for opt, prob in zip(result["options"], result["probabilities"]):
    print(f"  {prob * 100:5.2f}% | {opt}")

CLI Usage

python -m dm_jepa_1_5_mlx.generate_decision \
  --prompt "Robotic surgical manipulator: End effector experiencing unexpected torque resistance of 4.5 Nm during suture tensioning." \
  --options \
    "Abort tensioning cycle immediately and hold current pose" \
    "Increase motor current by 15% to overcome resistance" \
    "Back drive axis by 2mm to relieve tissue stress"
