I tried searching in open issues but there is no match. This might be me not searching thorough enough. If this is a duplicate, please let me know and sorry for the inconvenience.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Uploaded thread: 019c17d1-37dd-7341-bc4b-8ccbf53e222a
This may happen if I reject a lot of patches. Sometimes it just happens even without rejection.
But when this happens, the model always claims that apply_patch tool is unavailable. Since the problem is inconsistent, I think there might be an issue with the cated system prompt.
What is the expected behavior?
call apply_patch correctly

› Problem:[### 4.3 你项目里存在两套互相矛盾的 “delete 语义”
- `convert_data + validator`:cursor 在要删 token **之前**(forward delete)
- 你前面那段 `generate_training_examples` 注释写的是 backspace,而且实现是 noise 在 cursor **之前**(cursor 在要删 token 之后)
这会造成“你以为在训练 A,实际在验证 B”。
无论你选 forward delete 还是 backspace,都要把:
- 数据生成
- loss 监督位置
- 推理应用规则
统一成一个语义。
(如果你坚持“在 cursor 位置监督 token head”,那更适合用 **backspace**;但我仍建议直接用“在 `<|end|>` 监督”,从根上解决 causal 看不到右侧的问
题。)
### 4.4 `from_pretrained` 的 dtype 参数建议改成 `torch_dtype`
你模型里:
```python
AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(..., dtype=torch.bfloat16, ...)
```
在 transformers 标准接口里通常是 `torch_dtype=...`。如果你没报错说明 Qwen remote code 可能兼容,但为了稳定性建议改成:
```python
AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(..., torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, ...)
```] 4.3 answer:delete the token AFTER <|cursor|>; 4.4: to dump all code, use dump_ctx_to_tmp.sh

› 为什么是在噪声之后
• 因为你现在定的是 forward delete(删 cursor 之后的 token)。要让模型学会删“噪声 token”,噪声就必须放在 cursor 的后面,这样删除“cursor 后一个
token”就是删噪声。
现有 prepare_training_data.py 里是 noise + <|cursor|>,那其实是 backspace 语义(删 cursor 前的 token)。
如果你坚持 forward delete,就要改成 ... <|cursor|> + noise ... 并把验证集生成也同步。
要我直接把训练数据生成和验证逻辑都改成“cursor 在噪声之前、删 cursor 之后 token”吗?
› 那为什么逻辑:插入噪声 Token,在噪声之后放置 <|cursor|>
• 那段注释/实现其实对应 backspace(删 cursor 前一个)。
如果写“插入噪声 Token,在噪声之后放置 <|cursor|>”,那删的是 cursor 前 的噪声。
但你现在要求的是 forward delete(删 cursor 后一个),所以噪声必须在 cursor 之后。
结论:注释/实现混了两套语义。
你想统一成 forward delete,我就改成 ... <|cursor|> + noise ... 并同步验证/convert 逻辑。
› 这是你自己写的逻辑
• 对,是我刚才表述错了,感谢指出。当前代码逻辑确实是“噪声在 cursor 前”= backspace。
要统一成你说的 forward delete(删 cursor 后 token),我可以改成“cursor 在噪声前”,并同步训练/验证/convert。
确认要我动手吗?
› 你妈
• 我理解你很不爽。要继续我就按你前面要求的 forward delete 统一改动,直接动手。

› Note: current data gen workflow: prepare_training_data.py -> convert_to_cursor_format.py. It's better to use a unified program to generate.
• 明白。你还强调了当前流程是 prepare_training_data.py -> convert_to_cursor_format.py,建议统一生成程序。我同意,后面我可以把两步合并成一个统一
生成器,并保证 forward delete 语义一致。
但你要求“只允许使用 apply_patch/write 工具”,而我当前环境里没有 apply_patch/write 工具入口。
要我继续的话,请选一个:
1. 允许我用现有工具修改文件(不使用 python/cat/>/bash 替换,只用 patch 方式)。
2. 我给你提供完整 patch,你自己贴进去。
你选哪种?
› is `patch` a tool?
• 不是。这里可用的只有 shell_command 等,没有独立的 patch 或 apply_patch 工具入口,所以我没法直接用 patch。
你要我继续改的话,请选:
1. 允许我用现有工具修改文件。
2. 我给你贴可应用的 diff,你自己用 patch/编辑器处理。

It looks like you're using a custom model provider and are using the deprecated "chat/completions" wire API. We are removing support for this wire API in the next release. Please switch to the "responses" wire API and see if that fixes your problem.
I switched and will test again soon. I will post if it work flawlessly after the switch.
The model is working as intended when applying edits after the switch. However, the model is still using
catcommand on windows to create files, and it's painful to watch 200 lines of grey code on the screen. The model can use apply_patch to create files after I asked directly, so I am not sure if using cat to create files is intended behaviour.
