From 5cec1534be3b5de4ce605478657b58c599b49a98 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hunter Bown Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2026 01:17:09 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] feat(rlm): align with reference impl + add rlm_process tool; bump 0.6.5 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The previous /rlm slash command flow had a UI rendering gap (the answer never made it back to the model's view) and required the user to invoke it manually. Pivoting to a tool-call surface and aligning the in-REPL helpers with the canonical reference (alexzhang13/rlm) by the paper authors so the same prompts and decomposition patterns transfer. New tool: rlm_process - crates/tui/src/tools/rlm_process.rs - Inputs: task (small, shown to root LLM each iter as root_prompt) + exactly one of file_path (workspace-relative, preferred) or content (inline, capped at 200k chars). Optional child_model and max_depth. - Loaded across Plan/Agent/YOLO; never deferred via ToolSearch. - Returns the final answer string + metadata (iterations, duration, tokens, termination). REPL surface aligned with reference (alexzhang13/rlm): - Variable name `context` (was PROMPT) - Code fence ```repl (was ```python; python/py kept as fallback) - Helpers: llm_query, llm_query_batched (NEW), rlm_query (was sub_rlm), rlm_query_batched (NEW), SHOW_VARS (NEW), FINAL, FINAL_VAR, repl_get/repl_set - Top-level JSON-serializable user variables auto-persist across rounds (no repl_set ceremony required) - FINAL(...) / FINAL_VAR(...) parseable from the model's raw response text (parse_text_final), in addition to the in-REPL sentinel path. Code-fenced occurrences are correctly ignored to prevent false hits. Sidecar (axum, 127.0.0.1:0): - Added POST /llm_batch and POST /rlm_batch endpoints (parallel fanout, cap 16 prompts per batch). Mirrors the reference's batched semantics. Other: - System prompt rewritten with reference's strategy patterns (PREVIEW → CHUNK+map-reduce via llm_query_batched → RECURSIVE decomposition via rlm_query → programmatic compute + LLM interp). - Strict termination loop unchanged: must emit ```repl or text-level FINAL each round; one fence-less round → reminder, two → DirectAnswer. - /rlm slash command remains for manual debug; description points the model toward rlm_process for the in-agent flow. Versions: workspace 0.6.4 → 0.6.5; npm wrapper 0.6.4 → 0.6.5.

Inputs: `task` (small instruction, shown to the root LLM each iteration) plus exactly one of `file_path` (workspace-relative, preferred — keeps the long input out of the model's context entirely) or `content` (inline, capped at 200k chars). Optional `child_model` (default `deepseek-v4-flash`) and `max_depth` (default 1, paper experiments). Returns the synthesized answer with metadata (iterations, duration, tokens, termination reason). Loaded across Plan / Agent / YOLO; never deferred via ToolSearch. (`crates/tui/src/tools/rlm_process.rs`) +- **Reference-aligned REPL surface.** Aligned the in-REPL Python helpers with the canonical reference RLM (alexzhang13/rlm). The sub-agent now sees `context` (the full input, not `PROMPT`), `llm_query`, `llm_query_batched`, `rlm_query` (was `sub_rlm`), `rlm_query_batched`, `SHOW_VARS()`, `FINAL(...)`, `FINAL_VAR(...)`, plus `repl_get`/`repl_set`. Same prompt patterns and decomposition strategies from the paper now apply verbatim. (`crates/tui/src/repl/runtime.rs`) +- **Concurrent fanout from inside the REPL.** `llm_query_batched(prompts, model=None)` runs up to 16 child completions in parallel via a new `POST /llm_batch` sidecar endpoint — much faster than serial `[llm_query(p) for p in prompts]`. `rlm_query_batched(prompts)` does the same for recursive RLM sub-calls via `POST /rlm_batch`. (`crates/tui/src/rlm/sidecar.rs`) +- **`SHOW_VARS()`** — returns `{name: type-name}` for every user variable in the REPL. Lets the model inspect what it has accumulated across rounds before deciding whether to call `FINAL_VAR(name)`. +- **Auto-persistence of REPL variables across rounds.** Any top-level JSON-serializable variable the sub-agent creates in a `repl` block now persists to the next round automatically — no `repl_set` ceremony needed unless you want explicit control. Matches the in-process reference REPL semantics. + +### Changed +- **Code fence is `repl`, not `python`.** Matches the reference RLM language identifier so the same prompts and few-shot examples work here. Backward-compat fallback to `python` / `py` retained for older model behaviors. +- **`FINAL` / `FINAL_VAR` parseable from raw response text.** The reference RLM lets the model write `FINAL(value)` on its own line outside any code block to terminate the loop. Added `parse_text_final()` so that path works alongside the existing in-REPL Python sentinel mechanism. Code-fenced occurrences of `FINAL(...)` are correctly ignored to avoid false positives. +- **Strict termination loop.** The sub-agent must emit a ```repl block (or text-level FINAL) to make progress. One fence-less round triggers a reminder; two consecutive trigger a `RlmTermination::DirectAnswer` exit so we don't loop forever. +- **`rlm_process` separates `task` (root_prompt) from `file_path`/`content` (context).** The `task` rides along as `root_prompt` and is shown to the root LLM each iteration; the big input lives only in the REPL as `context`. Mirrors the reference's `completion(prompt, root_prompt=...)` API. +- **System prompt rewritten** with the reference's strategy patterns (PREVIEW → CHUNK + map-reduce via `llm_query_batched` → RECURSIVE decomposition via `rlm_query` → programmatic computation + LLM interpretation). +- The `/rlm` slash command stays for manual experimentation but is no longer the recommended path; the description in `commands/mod.rs` now points the model toward `rlm_process` for the in-agent flow. + +### Reference +- Zhang, Kraska, Khattab. "Recursive Language Models." arXiv:2512.24601. +- alexzhang13/rlm — reference implementation by the paper authors. Variable names, helper surface, and code-fence convention align with that repo so prompts and patterns transfer. + ### Fixed - **`/rlm` actually recurses now (Algorithm 1 substrate, paper-faithful).** The v0.6.3 RLM loop had the right *shape* but its recursive substrate was non-functional: `llm_query()` was a Python stub that returned a hardcoded string, and `child_model` was bound with an underscore prefix and silently dropped. The loop ran but the sub-LLM never fired. v0.6.4 fixes this end-to-end: diff --git a/Cargo.lock b/Cargo.lock index 47d4dddf..70c048a1 100644 --- a/Cargo.lock +++ b/Cargo.lock @@ -806,7 +806,7 @@ dependencies = [ [[package]] name = "deepseek-agent" -version = "0.6.4" +version = "0.6.5" dependencies = [ "deepseek-config", "serde", @@ -814,7 +814,7 @@ dependencies = [ [[package]] name = "deepseek-app-server" -version = "0.6.4" +version = "0.6.5" dependencies = [ "anyhow", "axum", @@ -837,7 +837,7 @@ dependencies = [ [[package]] name = "deepseek-config" -version = "0.6.4" +version = "0.6.5" dependencies = [ "anyhow", "dirs", @@ -848,7 +848,7 @@ dependencies = [ [[package]] name = "deepseek-core" -version = "0.6.4" +version = "0.6.5" dependencies = [ "anyhow", "chrono", @@ -867,7 +867,7 @@ dependencies = [ [[package]] name = "deepseek-execpolicy" -version = "0.6.4" +version = "0.6.5" dependencies = [ "anyhow", "deepseek-protocol", @@ -876,7 +876,7 @@ dependencies = [ [[package]] name = "deepseek-hooks" -version = "0.6.4" +version = "0.6.5" dependencies = [ "anyhow", "async-trait", @@ -890,7 +890,7 @@ dependencies = [ [[package]] name = "deepseek-mcp" -version = "0.6.4" +version = "0.6.5" dependencies = [ "anyhow", "deepseek-protocol", @@ -900,7 +900,7 @@ dependencies = [ [[package]] name = "deepseek-protocol" -version = "0.6.4" +version = "0.6.5" dependencies = [ "serde", "serde_json", @@ -908,7 +908,7 @@ dependencies = [ [[package]] name = "deepseek-state" -version = "0.6.4" +version = "0.6.5" dependencies = [ "anyhow", "chrono", @@ -920,7 +920,7 @@ dependencies = [ [[package]] name = "deepseek-tools" -version = "0.6.4" +version = "0.6.5" dependencies = [ "anyhow", "async-trait", @@ -933,7 +933,7 @@ dependencies = [ [[package]] name = "deepseek-tui" -version = "0.6.4" +version = "0.6.5" dependencies = [ "anyhow", "arboard", @@ -988,7 +988,7 @@ dependencies = [ [[package]] name = "deepseek-tui-cli" -version = "0.6.4" +version = "0.6.5" dependencies = [ "anyhow", "chrono", @@ -1010,7 +1010,7 @@ dependencies = [ [[package]] name = "deepseek-tui-core" -version = "0.6.4" +version = "0.6.5" [[package]] name = "deranged" diff --git a/Cargo.toml b/Cargo.toml index 98b1e854..146d193f 100644 --- a/Cargo.toml +++ b/Cargo.toml @@ -18,7 +18,7 @@ default-members = ["crates/cli", "crates/app-server", "crates/tui"] resolver = "2" [workspace.package] -version = "0.6.4" +version = "0.6.5" edition = "2024" license = "MIT" repository = "https://github.com/Hmbown/DeepSeek-TUI" diff --git a/crates/tui/src/core/engine.rs b/crates/tui/src/core/engine.rs index 07df0c78..b1fbb067 100644 --- a/crates/tui/src/core/engine.rs +++ b/crates/tui/src/core/engine.rs @@ -413,6 +413,7 @@ fn should_default_defer_tool(name: &str, mode: AppMode) -> bool { | "file_search" | "diagnostics" | "rlm_query" + | "rlm_process" | MULTI_TOOL_PARALLEL_NAME | "update_plan" | "todo_write" @@ -1450,6 +1451,7 @@ impl Engine { builder = builder .with_review_tool(self.deepseek_client.clone(), self.session.model.clone()) .with_rlm_query_tool(self.deepseek_client.clone()) + .with_rlm_process_tool(self.deepseek_client.clone(), self.session.model.clone()) .with_user_input_tool() .with_parallel_tool(); diff --git a/crates/tui/src/repl/runtime.rs b/crates/tui/src/repl/runtime.rs index c3542856..00145dba 100644 --- a/crates/tui/src/repl/runtime.rs +++ b/crates/tui/src/repl/runtime.rs @@ -56,55 +56,62 @@ const DEFAULT_STDOUT_LIMIT: usize = 8_192; const ROUND_TIMEOUT: Duration = Duration::from_secs(120); /// Python bootstrap — loaded at the top of every execution round. -/// Provides `llm_query()`, `sub_rlm()`, `FINAL()`, `FINAL_VAR()`, -/// `repl_get/set`, and loads/saves the persistent variable state. /// -/// `llm_query()` and `sub_rlm()` work by POSTing to a localhost HTTP -/// sidecar started by the RLM driver in Rust.

Returns the completion text. Cheap and fast — uses - the configured child model (deepseek-v4-flash by default). - - `sub_rlm(prompt)` — Recursive RLM call. Runs a full Algorithm-1 loop on - the given prompt at depth-1 and returns its final answer. Use this when - the sub-task is itself big enough to need decomposition. - - `FINAL(value)` — Sets the final answer and ends the RLM loop. Call this - when you have the complete answer. +When to use `llm_query` vs `rlm_query`: +- `llm_query` for one-shot work: extracting from a chunk, summarizing, classifying, simple Q&A. +- `rlm_query` when the sub-task itself needs decomposition or iteration — i.e. it's RLM-shaped on its own (a long doc → its own chunked summary, a hard sub-question that needs branching). -## How to operate +Strategy patterns -Every round you MUST emit a single ```python … ``` fenced block. The loop -ends only when you call `FINAL(value)` inside that code, OR when iterations -are exhausted. Plain-text replies are not accepted. +1. PREVIEW first. +```repl +print(f"len(context) = {len(context)}") +print(context[:500]) +``` -1. PREVIEW the prompt first: - ```python - text = repl_get("PROMPT") - print(f"Length: {len(text)}") - print(text[:500]) - ``` +2. CHUNK + map-reduce with batched concurrent calls. +```repl +chunk_size = 8000 +chunks = [context[i:i+chunk_size] for i in range(0, len(context), chunk_size)] +prompts = [f"Extract any mentions of X from this section:\n\n{c}" for c in chunks] +partials = llm_query_batched(prompts) +combined = "\n\n".join(partials) +answer = llm_query(f"Synthesize across these section-level extractions:\n\n{combined}") +print(answer[:500]) +``` +Then on the next turn: +FINAL(answer) -2. DECOMPOSE the task into chunks. For long prompts, process parts - independently using llm_query() for each chunk: - ```python - text = repl_get("PROMPT") - chunk_size = 2000 - results = [] - for i in range(0, len(text), chunk_size): - chunk = text[i:i+chunk_size] - result = llm_query(f"Process this part: {chunk}") - results.append(result) - repl_set("chunk_results", results) - ``` +3. RECURSIVE decomposition for hard sub-problems. +```repl +trend = rlm_query(f"Analyze this dataset and conclude with one word — up, down, or stable: {data}") +recommendation = "Hold" if "stable" in trend.lower() else ("Hedge" if "down" in trend.lower() else "Increase") +print(trend, "→", recommendation) +``` -3. COMBINE results and call FINAL: - ```python - results = repl_get("chunk_results", []) - combined = "\n".join(results) - FINAL(combined) - ``` +4. PROGRAMMATIC computation + LLM interpretation. +```repl +import math +theta = math.degrees(math.atan2(v_perp, v_parallel)) +final_answer = llm_query(f"Entry angle is {theta:.2f}°. Phrase the answer for a physics student.") +``` +Then: FINAL(final_answer) -## Rules +Rules -- You MUST output Python code inside ```python blocks. Only code inside - ```python fences is executed. Commentary outside the fences is ignored. -- The PROMPT variable may be very large. Never print it in full — always - truncate to a preview. -- Use `llm_query()` for cheap one-shot decomposition. Use `sub_rlm()` only - when a sub-task is itself large enough to need its own RLM loop. -- Previous code and stdout summaries are shown in the conversation history. - Build on them rather than repeating work. -- The loop ends ONLY when you call `FINAL(value)`. There is no plain-text - early-exit; if you reply without a code fence you'll be reminded. - -## Strategy hints - -- For code analysis: print structure, then llm_query() per file/function. -- For long document processing: chunk PROMPT, llm_query() each chunk, - aggregate, then FINAL. -- For research / multi-step reasoning: decompose the question, query each - sub-question via llm_query(), synthesize, FINAL. -- For iterative tasks: cache intermediate results with repl_set, retrieve - with repl_get across rounds. +- Emit exactly one ```repl block per turn (or `FINAL(...)` on its own line to end the loop). +- Never print or stuff `context` in its entirety. Slice, sample, or chunk. +- Sub-LLMs are powerful — feed them generous chunks (e.g. tens of thousands of chars) rather than padding through tiny windows. +- JSON-serializable top-level variables persist across rounds automatically; non-serializable ones (custom objects, file handles) do not. +- Do not say "I will do X" — just do it. Output the next ```repl block.
