-# Missed things
-[X] Log EXO_LIBP2P_NAMESPACE on start in exo/main.py
-[X] Ordering of warmup was changed, which is wrong. It was changed to rank < n-1, then rank=n-1. It should be rank!=0 then rank=0 (this matches the auto_parallel implementation. NOTE: we use a different convention to mlx-lm, our terminal rank is rank=n-1 whereas mlx-lm is rank=0 hence i can see why this was changed wrongly).
-[X] Downloads keying by model_id not shard_metadata (worker/plan.py, worker/main.py).
-[X] Fetching download status of all models on start
-[X] Deduplication of tasks in plan_step.
-[X] resolve_allow_patterns should just be wildcard now.
-[X] no mx_barrier in genreate.py mlx_generate at the end.
-[] cache assertion not needed in auto_parallel.py PipelineLastLayer.
-[X] GPTOSS support dropped in auto_parallel.py.
-[X] sharding changed "all-to-sharded" became _all_to_sharded in auto_parallel.py.
-[X] same as above with "sharded-to-all" became _sharded_to_all in auto_parallel.py.
-[X] Dropped support for Ministral3Model, DeepseekV32Model, Glm4MoeModel, Qwen3NextModel, GptOssMode in auto_parallel.py.
-[] Dropped prefill/decode code in auto_parallel.py and utils_mlx.py.
-[X] KV_CACHE_BITS should be None to disable quantized KV cache.
-[X] Dropped _set_nofile_limit in utils_mlx.py.
-[X] We have group optional in load_mlx_items in utils_mlx.py.
-[X] Dropped add_missing_chat_templates for GptOss in load_mlx_items in utils_mlx.py.
-[X] Dropped model.make_cache in make_kv_cache in utils_mlx.py.
-[X] We put cache limit back in utils_mlx.py.
-[X] topology.py remove_node removes the connections after checking if node is is in self._node_id_to_rx_id_map. on beta_1 it checks after, so would remove stale connections I guess?
-[X] Missing Glm 4.7 model cards (this isn't ready yet but should be picked up, probably create an issue... the blocker is transforemrs version doesn't support the tokenizer for Glm 4.7. rc-1 does but we can't upgrade as it breaks other things.)
-[] try-except in _command_processor only excepts ValueError. This was silently failing leading to un-debuggable errors (we had a KeyError that was happening ). Changed this to catch Exception instead of ValueError. See exo-v2 89ae38405e0052e3c22405daf094b065878aa873 and fb99fea69b5a39017efc90c5dad0072e677455f0.
-[X] In placement.py, place_instance no longer looks at model_meta.supports_tensor and check if this tensor parallel number of nodes is supported by the model's tensor dimensions.
-[X] In placement.py, place_instanec, we no longer have the special case to exclude DeepSeek v3.1 pipeline parallel (it doesn't work).
-[] logger.warning("You have likely selected ibv for a single node instance; falling back to MlxRing") was changed to debug. That will spam this warning since it happens every time we query instance previews.
-[X] In placement_utils.py, get_mlx_jaccl_coordinators, We no longer prioritise Jaccl Coordinator IP. Now it picks the first one, which is unstable (Jaccl coordinator over TB5 is unstable).

-3. Task cancellation. When API http request gets cancelled, it should cancel corresponding task.
+1. EXO_BOOTSTRAP_PEERS is currently broken

 4. I'd like to see profiled network latency / bandwidth.
 5. I'd like to see how much bandwidth each link is using.
 7. Solve the problem of in continuous batching when a new prompt comes in, it will block decode of the current batch until the prefill is complete.
 8. We want people to be able to copy models over to a new device without ever connecting EXO to the internet. Right now EXO require internet connection once to cache some files to check if a download is complete. Instead, we should simply check if there is a non-empty model folder locally with no .partial files. This indicates it's a fully downloaded model that can be loaded.
 13. Memory pressure instead of memory used.
 14. Show the type of each connection (TB5, Ethernet, etc.) in the UI. Refer to old exo: https://github.com/exo-explore/exo/blob/56f783b38dc6b08ce606b07a5386dc40dae00330/exo/helpers.py#L251

 16. Dynamically switch to higher priority connection when it becomes available. Probably bring back InstanceReplacedAtomically.
 17. Faster model loads by streaming model from other devices in cluster.
 18. Add support for specifying the type of network connection to use in a test. Depends on 15/16.

-# EXO Architecture overview
-
-EXO uses an _Event Sourcing_ architecture, and Erlang-style _message passing_. To facilitate this, we've written a channel library extending anyio channels with inspiration from tokio::sync::mpsc. 
-
-Each logical module - designed to be functional independently of the others - communicates with the rest of the system by sending messages on topics.
-
-## Systems
-
-There are currently 5 major systems:
-
-- Master
-    
-    Executes placement and orders events through a single writer
-
-- Worker
-    
-    Schedules work on a node, gathers system information, etc.#
-
-- Runner
-    
-    Executes inference jobs (for now) in an isolated process from the worker for fault-tolerance.
-
-- API
-    
-    Runs a python webserver for exposing state and commands to client applications
-
-- Election
-    
-    Implements a distributed algorithm for master election in unstable networking conditions
-
-## API Layer
-
-The API system uses multiple adapters to support multiple API formats, converting them to a single request / response type.
-
-### Adapter Pattern
-
-Adapters convert between external API formats and EXO's internal types:
-
-```
-Chat Completions → [adapter] → TextGenerationTaskParams → Application
-Claude Messages  → [adapter] → TextGenerationTaskParams → Application
-Responses API    → [adapter] → TextGenerationTaskParams → Application
-Ollama API       → [adapter] → TextGenerationTaskParams → Application
-```
-
-Each adapter implements two key functions:
-1. **Request conversion**: Converts API-specific requests to `TextGenerationTaskParams`
-2. **Response generation**: Converts internal `TokenChunk` streams back to API-specific formats (streaming and non-streaming)
-
-
-## Topics
-
-There are currently 5 topics:
-
-- Commands
-
-    The API and Worker instruct the master when the event log isn't sufficient. Namely placement and catchup requests go through Commands atm.
-
-- Local Events
-
-    All nodes write events here, the master reads those events and orders them
-
-- Global Events
-
-    The master writes events here, all nodes read from this topic and fold the produced events into their `State`
-
-- Election Messages
-
-    Before establishing a cluster, nodes communicate here to negotiate a master node.
-
-- Connection Messages
-
-    The networking system write mdns-discovered hardware connections here.
-
-
-## Event Sourcing
-
-Lots has been written about event sourcing, but it lets us centralize faulty connections and message ACKing with the following model.
-
-Whenever a device produces side effects, it captures those side effects in an `Event`. `Event`s are then "applied" to their model of `State`, which is globally distributed across the cluster. Whenever a command is received, it is combined with state to produce side effects, captured in yet more events. The rule of thumb is "`Event`s are past tense, `Command`s are imperative". Telling a node to perform some action like "place this model" or "Give me a copy of the event log" is represented by a command (The worker's `Task`s are also commands), while "this node is using 300GB of ram" is an event. Notably, `Event`s SHOULD never cause side effects on their own. There are a few exceptions to this, we're working out the specifics of generalizing the distributed event sourcing model to make it better suit our needs
-
-## Purity
-
-A significant goal of the current design is to make data flow explicit. Classes should either represent simple data (`FrozenModel`s typically, and `TaggedModel`s for unions) or active `System`s (Erlang `Actor`s), with all transformations of that data being "referentially transparent" - destructure and construct new data, don't mutate in place. We have had varying degrees of success with this, and are still exploring where purity makes sense.

-^raw sockets distributed -> `<net/ndrv.h>` -> https://newosxbook.com/code/xnu-3247.1.106/bsd/net/ndrv.h.auto.html
---> header file for a networking component found in the macOS kernel (XNU) that defines structures for network device driver registration, specifically the ndrv_demux_desc and ndrv_protocol_desc structures used for demultiplexing protocol data at the network interface level. It specifies how to describe protocol data, such as an Ethernet type or a SNAP header, and how to associate these descriptions with a specific protocol family to receive matching packets.
---> Used to bind an NDRV socket so that packets that match given protocol demux descriptions can be received.
---> An NDRV socket is a special kind of socket in the Darwin/macOS operating system's XNU kernel, used for low-level network packet manipulation and binding to specific protocols for packet processing. It allows user-space applications or drivers to directly write Layer 2 (L2) network packets or interact with the network stack at a lower level, often by binding to protocol descriptors like the ndrv_protocol_desc. This type of socket is used for functions such as capturing and injecting packets, especially in network infrastructure software like routers or for kernel-level network monitoring and security tools.
---> also called PF_NDRV sockets --> https://newosxbook.com/bonus/vol1ch16.html
-----> they are conceptually similar to https://scapy.disruptivelabs.in/networking/socket-interface PF_RAW or PF_PACKET

-^AF_PACKET duplicates the packets as soon as it receives them from the physical layer (for incoming packets) or just before sending them out to the physical layer (for outgoing packets). -> this is on Linux only
-^it doesn't exist on OS X so you can use /dev/bpfX (Berkeley Packet Filter) for sniffing

-To set up a Linux system to use a Thunderbolt connection as a network device, connect the two computers with a Thunderbolt cable, load the thunderbolt-net kernel module (usually automatic but modprobe is an option for manual loading), and then the operating system will create virtual Ethernet interfaces (e.g., thunderbolt0) for networking. You can then use standard tools like ifconfig or your desktop environment's network manager to configure these new interfaces for a link-local network.
