AutoGineer summary
Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author
The kermt-finetune skill provides a robust, containerized workflow for finetuning pretrained KERMT encoders on user-supplied CSV datasets. It manages the entire lifecycle of a training run, including checkpoint validation, data preparation, hyperparameter configuration, and detached execution. The skill ensures data integrity by validating inputs, handling dataset splits, and enforcing target confirmation before launching training. It supports both single-GPU and multi-GPU (DDP) configurations, automatically managing dependencies and environment setup via a containerized runtime.
What it does
- Validates pretrained checkpoints and input CSV data for compatibility.
- Automates data feature preparation and split generation (random, scaffold, or index-based).
- Downloads and manages official NVIDIA KERMT model bundles.
- Launches training in a detached container with configurable hyperparameters.
- Provides comprehensive logging, TensorBoard integration, and run manifests for reproducibility.
- Enforces safety gates for model downloads and target column selection.
When to use it
- When you need to adapt a pretrained KERMT encoder to a specific chemical property prediction task.
- When you have a labeled CSV dataset and want to perform regression or classification finetuning.
- When you require a reproducible, containerized training pipeline with automated data validation.
- When you want to leverage multi-GPU hardware for faster model training.
Advantages
- Ensures reproducibility through detailed run manifests and command replay functionality.
- Simplifies complex training workflows with automated pre-flight checks and validation.
- Provides flexible support for various dataset types and splitting strategies.
- Maintains environment consistency by using containerized execution for all steps.
Usage examples
- “Finetune the default KERMT model on my_data.csv for a regression task.”
- The agent validates the data, confirms the target columns, downloads the default hybrid model, and launches a detached training job.
- “Run a classification finetune on my_data.csv using 4 GPUs.”
- The agent configures the environment for DDP, sets the dataset type to classification, and initiates the training across the specified GPUs.

Documentation by NVIDIA
kermt-finetune
Finetune a pretrained KERMT encoder on a user-supplied labeled CSV. The skill is the workflow orchestrator: validate ckpt, validate data, prepare data, launch the runner detached, return a run directory + container name.
Skill and runtime paths
Set SKILL_DIR to the absolute path of this installed skill directory. Export
KERMT_REPO as the absolute path to the KERMT checkout used for model
execution. The bundled container helper mounts that checkout at
/workspace and this skill at /skill (read-only). Commands inside
the container use /skill/scripts/; defaults are bundled in config/.
See Released models for checkpoint bundle requirements.
Downloads and local outputs
The optional released-model branch reads config/released_model.json for the
Hugging Face repository, pinned revision, and filenames. The bundled
scripts/fetch_released_model.py downloads the model bundle over HTTPS into
the host directory the user selects. Public models work without credentials;
if HF_TOKEN is set, the container helper forwards it for Hugging Face
authentication. Prepared data, logs, and workflow results go into the chosen
run directory.
Hardware requirements
GPUs: 1 by default (single-GPU); pass
--gpus 0(or whichever id) to select one. For faster training on a multi-GPU host, pass--num-gpus N(N>1) to run data-parallel DDP across N GPUs —--batch-sizeis then per-GPU (effective global batch = batch_size × N).VRAM: ≥ 8 GB for the default
batch_size 32configuration. Lower VRAM works at smaller batch sizes — pass--batch-size Nto override.Disk: a few GB per run (checkpoint + features + logs).
Driver / CUDA: any host supporting CUDA 12.6 (the kermt image base).
kermt-setupvalidates this up-front.
Inputs
Required:
--csv <path>— labeled CSV. First column issmiles; every other column is a target.
Checkpoint (optional — defaults to the released model if omitted):
--ckpt <path>— input pretrain checkpoint (grover_base / cmim / hybrid). The validator refuses already-finetuned ckpts with a redirect tokermt-infer. If omitted, the skill offers to download the released pretrained hybrid model nvidia/NV-KERMT-70M-v2 and finetune from it — see "Resolve & validate the checkpoint" (workflow step 3).--pretrained-release— explicit opt-in to use the released model without the interactive prompt (for non-interactive / agent runs). Mutually exclusive with--ckpt.--model-dir <dir>— where to save the downloaded bundle (default$KERMT_REPO/models/NV-KERMT-70M-v2/). An already-complete bundle there is reused, not re-downloaded.
Optional:
--dataset-type {regression | classification | multiclass}— defaultregression(fromdefaults_finetune.json). Drives loss, metric defaults, and head initialization. For classification tasks pass--dataset-type classification.--targets COL [COL ...]— explicit target column names. If omitted, the validator auto-detects numeric non-smiles columns and the skill confirms with the user before proceeding.--val-csv <path>and--test-csv <path>— user-provided val + test splits. Either pass both or pass neither (the skill auto-splits using the configured--split-type).--split-type {random | scaffold_balanced | index_predetermined}— defaultscaffold_balancedfromdefaults_finetune.json.randomandscaffold_balanced: build the val/test split internally from the train CSV. No--val-csv/--test-csvneeded.index_predetermined: requires pre-split CSVs passed via--val-csv+--test-csv(and, separately, per-fold index files — seekermt/util/utils.split_data). Use this when the dataset ships its own canonical split (e.g.tests/data/Biogen_for_grover/scaffold/ balance/<endpoint>/{train,val,test}.csv).
--metric NAME—mae(regression default),auc(classification default), or any namekermt.util.metrics.get_metric_funcaccepts.--epochs N/--batch-size N/--init-lr F/--max-lr F/--final-lr F/--warmup-epochs F/--weight-decay F/--dropout F/--bond-drop-rate F/--dist-coff F/--early-stop-epoch N/--seed N— training-hyperparameter overrides. Anything not given is filled fromconfig/defaults_finetune.json.--ffn-hidden-size N/--ffn-num-layers N— shared FFN trunk dims.--ffn-num-task-specific-layers N/--ffn-task-specific-hidden-size H— per-target FFN heads (default 0 = off; useful for heterogeneous multi-target finetunes). Both must be set together when N > 0.--ensemble-size N/--num-folds N— multi-model / k-fold CV. Default 1 each.--gpus 0— single GPU id for single-process finetune (default 0). Ignored when--num-gpus > 1.--num-gpus N— number of GPUs for data-parallel DDP finetune. Default 1 (single-process, unchanged). N>1 runsmain.py finetunewithWORLD_SIZE=N(one process per GPU);--batch-sizeis per-GPU.--from-prepare <dir>— skip the prepare step and reuse an existingprepare_data.jsonin<dir>. Useful when iterating on hyperparameters.
Workflow
Let $KERMT_REPO be the path to your kermt repo checkout, and assume
kermt-setup has built kermt:latest. All paths below are on the host; the
helper bind-mounts them at known container paths.
Pre-flight: ensure container + system probe.
"$SKILL_DIR/scripts/kermt_container.sh" check_system | python -c " import json, sys; d = json.load(sys.stdin) if not d['ok']: print('System check failed:', d['gaps']); sys.exit(1) print(f'OK: {len(d[\"gpus\"])} GPU(s); CUDA via container toolkit') "Refuse to proceed if
ok: false.Compute run directory.
RUN_DIR=$KERMT_REPO/runs/finetune_$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H-%M-%SZ)Resolve & validate the checkpoint.
Resolve — only if
--ckptwas omitted. Default to the released pretrained hybrid model nvidia/NV-KERMT-70M-v2:Consent gate. Unless
--pretrained-releasewas passed, ask the user: "No checkpoint given — download the released model nvidia/NV-KERMT-70M-v2 (NVIDIA Open Model License, https://huggingface.co/nvidia/NV-KERMT-70M-v2) and finetune from it? [y/N]". Never download without an explicit yes (or--pretrained-release). If both--ckptand--pretrained-releaseare given, abort — they conflict.Save location. Default
$KERMT_REPO/models/NV-KERMT-70M-v2/; honor--model-dir <dir>if given. An already-complete bundle is reused.Download (foreground; ~282 MB on first fetch):
"$SKILL_DIR/scripts/kermt_container.sh" run --model-dir <save-dir> -- \ "python /skill/scripts/fetch_released_model.py --out /model"Parse the JSON; abort on
ok: false(surfaceerrors). On success set<user-ckpt> = <save-dir>/kermt_contrastive_v2.0.pt.
Validate the resolved (or user-provided) ckpt:
"$SKILL_DIR/scripts/kermt_container.sh" run --ckpt <user-ckpt> -- \ "python /skill/scripts/check_checkpoint.py --mode finetune_init --ckpt /ckpt"Parse the JSON. Abort on
ok: false. The validator rejects already- finetuned ckpts (has_task_ffn: true) with a redirect tokermt-infer.Validate the data.
"$SKILL_DIR/scripts/kermt_container.sh" run --data <user-csv> -- \ "python /skill/scripts/check_data.py --mode finetune --csv /data/<basename> [--targets COL1 COL2 ...]"If
--targetswas not given by the user, surfaceauto_detected_targetsfrom the JSON and ask the user to confirm before continuing. Abort onok: false.Prepare the data (skip if
--from-preparegiven).Pre-flight: check for sibling val.csv / test.csv. Before invoking prepare_data, inspect the parent directory of
<user-csv>. If a canonical-looking siblingval.csv(orval_*.csv— common variants includeval_T.csv,val_clean.csv) AND a matchingtest.csv/test_*.csvexist next to the train CSV, the dataset ships its own pre-defined split. In that case set--split-type index_predeterminedAND pass--val-csv/--test-csv— otherwise the configuredsplit_type(defaultscaffold_balanced) will re-split the train CSV from scratch and silently discard the user's val/test files. When in doubt — or when the sibling files use non-canonical suffixes (_T,_v2, etc.) — surface the situation to the user and ask which they want.Quoting target names. If any of the
--targetscolumn names contain shell metacharacters (>,&,|,(,),$, etc.), single-quote each one when passing on the CLI to keep the shell from eating part of the name. Example:--targets 'Log_Caco2_Papp_A>B' 'logD'. The CSV header itself is read directly by the downstream trainer and is unaffected, but the prepare_data.json manifest'stargets[]field captures whatever the shell delivers — unquoted metacharacters get truncated there.Mount note:
kermt_container.sh --data <host-csv>mounts the parent directory of<host-csv>at/data.--val-csvand--test-csvmust therefore reference files in that same parent directory. If val/test live in a separate directory (e.g. a siblingsplits/folder), mount the parent of all three using--data <dir>on a directory rather than a file."$SKILL_DIR/scripts/kermt_container.sh" run --data <user-csv> --run-dir $RUN_DIR -- \ "python /skill/scripts/prepare_data.py --mode finetune \\ --csv /data/<basename> --out /runs/data \\ --split-type <split_type> \\ [--val-csv /data/<val-basename> --test-csv /data/<test-basename>] \\ [--val-frac 0.1 --test-frac 0.1 --seed 0] \\ --targets <COL1> [COL2 ...]"Outputs land at
$RUN_DIR/data/prepare_data.json. Forscaffold_balancedandindex_predetermined, prep emits a singleclean_full_csv+.npz; the runner passes them through tomain.py finetunewhich callssplit_datainternally with the user-supplied seed.Estimate runtime + echo applied defaults.
Finetune wall time is typically minutes-to-hours on 1 GPU.
Surface a summary of every flag that was filled from the defaults vs user-supplied, so the user knows what was assumed. The runner records this in
args_applied.Sample message:
"Filling from defaults_finetune.json: epochs=30, batch_size=32, split_type=scaffold_balanced. Override any of these with --<flag>."
Targets confirmation gate (hard requirement). Before launching the runner, regardless of how the targets list was determined (CLI
--targets, auto-detection in step 4, or a user natural-language request like "finetune on Caco2 and HLM"), echo the final targets list to the user with an explicit count:"Will finetune on N target(s): COL1, COL2, ...". If the user's request specified a subset that doesn't match this list (e.g., they asked for 2 tasks via natural language but the list still has 4), treat it as a discrepancy and re-prompt with the diff — never silently proceed on the wrong target set. Wait for explicit confirmation before launching unless--yeswas given.Launch the runner detached. (Consistent with the pretrain skills.)

kermt-monitor <RUN_DIR>(one-shot) ordocker logs -f <container-name>(streaming).To block until the run finishes (useful for short test runs):
docker wait <container-name>— prints the exit code on completion.
Hard rules
Never download the released model without consent. When
--ckptis omitted, downloadnvidia/NV-KERMT-70M-v2only after an explicit user "yes" or an explicit--pretrained-releaseflag.--ckptand--pretrained-releaseare mutually exclusive.Never modify the user's input ckpt. The runner passes its path via
--checkpoint_path;task/train.pyloads it read-only into the model and attaches a new FFN head. The source file stays untouched.Arch comes from the ckpt, not from CLI/defaults. The runner extracts
hidden_size,depth,num_attn_head,activation,embedding_output_type,self_attention(+attn_hidden/attn_outwhen applicable) from the ckpt's saved_args. There is no--hidden-sizeflag on this runner.Never block on the long-running finetune. The skill launches via
run_detachedand returns immediately after step 9. Usekermt-monitor.Echo applied defaults back to the user. The
args_appliedfield ofrun.jsonrecords every flag's value + source (user / default-config). Surface a one-line summary of every filled-from-default flag so the user knows what was assumed.
Common errors
finetune_init requires a pretrain ckpt (grover_base / cmim / hybrid)→ the ckpt you passed is already finetuned (has task FFN heads). Pick a pretrain ckpt instead, or usekermt-inferif you want to run predictions with the existing finetuned model. To resume a finetune on the SAME dataset, bypass the skill and callpython main.py finetune --checkpoint_path <ckpt> ...directly — the agent skill doesn't support resume because saved-task identity can't be machine-verified against the new training data.prepare_data manifest reports ok=False→ checkerrorsfor the failed step (typically clean_smiles or save_features). Fix and re-run.ffn_num_task_specific_layers=N>0 but ffn_task_specific_hidden_size is unset→ MTL heads need an explicit hidden size. Pass--ffn-task-specific-hidden-size H.finetune is single-GPU(from--gpus 0,1) →--gpusselects one device for single-process finetune. For multi-GPU, use--num-gpus N(DDP) instead.
Replayability
The run.json cmd_replay field is a single-line command that re-runs the
finetune with the same inputs, hyperparameters, and arch. To replay inside
the kermt container:
$(jq -r .cmd_replay $RUN_DIR/run.json)If ok_to_replay: false in the manifest (because the kermt repo working
tree was dirty at launch time), the replay may not be bit-exact — pin the
exact commit via the repo.commit field and git checkout it
first.
