NeuroBrix 0.6.5

NeuroBrix 0.6.5 brings constrained decoding and a faster, longer-reaching serving daemon, with nbxtensor 0.1.0 and nbxgrammar 0.1.0.

  • Constrained decoding on the OpenAI API. response_format: json_schema (a subset of JSON Schema; a constraining
    keyword outside it is refused by name), tool_choice: required or a named function, and parallel_tool_calls: false
    with a forced call are enforced by NeuroBrix's own grammar engine (written in Rust): the model can only write what the
    schema or the template's tool-call format allows. A reasoning model answers after its reasoning.
  • Long conversations on a serving daemon. serve states its context ceiling when it starts; past the card's KV
    cache the oldest pages move to host memory and decoding goes on, exactly; a conversation that leaves the cache comes
    back from host memory and its next turn prefills only what is new; a request longer than the ceiling is refused by
    /v1/chat/completions with the OpenAI error 400 context_length_exceeded.
    A very long single prompt is answered slowly: 79 931 tokens took 39 minutes on two V100-32GB.
  • Mixture-of-experts models on several cards run at the cards' speed. On two V100-32GB, Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B went
    from 6.7 s to 0.33 s a token through run, and a served 64-token answer from about 3 minutes to about 30 s; the
    daemon keeps such a model loaded between requests.
  • /v1/embeddings and an embedding model family, ready for the first embedding model of the catalogue.
  • A served request re-plans after a device out-of-memory, as run does; laptops with a hybrid CPU or an
    integrated GPU are described correctly; neurobrix import recognises a model already installed.
  • The hub is at neurobrix.org and the documentation at
    docs.neurobrix.org. Contributions are made under the
    NeuroBrix Contributor Assignment Agreement.

Install: pip install neurobrix (the Triton engine, no PyTorch) or pip install "neurobrix[pytorch]"; on a Mac,
python -m nbxtensor install-metal. The library is nbxtensor 0.1.0.

The grammar engine is its own package, nbxgrammar 0.1.0, which pip install neurobrix installs on Linux x86_64 and
aarch64, macOS arm64 and x86_64 and Windows x86_64; on any other platform no wheel of it exists and a constrained
request is refused by name (501 constrained_decoding_not_installed).

The full list is in the CHANGELOG.
