train_step_nocompile: returns dict, builds incrementally with losses[LossType.X] = value - train_step_reconstruction_only_nocompile: returns dict with only computed losses (total, recon, reg) - loss accumulation: updated to work with dict instead of tuple indexing - tensorboard logging: now programmatic using loss_type.name.lower() iteration benefits: - semantic access: losses[LossType.RECON] instead of loss_tuple[1] - flexible returns: warmup only returns computed losses - programmatic logging: automatically logs all loss components - type safe: enum keys prevent typos benchmark showed dict with enum keys has <2% overhead vs tuple on gpu. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- src/LatentEvolution/latent.py | 78 ++++++++++++++++------------------- 1 file changed, 36 insertions(+), 42 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/LatentEvolution/latent.py b/src/LatentEvolution/latent.py index 078d1984..1efc8f3c 100644 --- a/src/LatentEvolution/latent.py +++ b/src/LatentEvolution/latent.py @@ -308,7 +308,7 @@ def train_step_reconstruction_only_nocompile( _selected_neurons: torch.Tensor, _needed_indices: torch.Tensor, cfg: ModelParams -
