# Entroplain

**Entropy-based early exit for efficient agent reasoning.**

Stop burning tokens. Know when your agent has finished thinking.

---

## What It Does

Entroplain monitors your LLM's **predictive entropy** — the uncertainty in its output distribution — to detect when reasoning has converged.

```text
High entropy → Model is searching, exploring, uncertain
Low entropy → Model is confident, converged, ready to output
```

**Key insight:** Reasoning follows a multi-modal entropy trajectory. Local minima ("valleys") mark reasoning milestones. Exit at the right valley, save 40-60% compute with minimal accuracy loss.

---

## Quick Start

### Install

```bash
# Python (pip)
pip install entroplain

# Node.js (npm)
npm install entroplain
```

### Requirements

**Python:** 3.8+

**Node.js:** 18+

**For cloud providers:** Set API keys via environment variables:

```bash
export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
export NVIDIA_API_KEY=nvapi-...
```

**For local models:** Install [Ollama](https://ollama.ai) or [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp)

---

## 🚀 Works With Any Agent (Proxy Method)

The **proxy** is the easiest way to use Entroplain with OpenClaw, Claude Code, or any other agent framework:

### How It Works

```
Your Agent → Proxy (localhost:8765) → Real API
               │
               ▼
         Entropy Monitor
               │
               ▼
         Early Exit Check
```

The proxy intercepts all LLM API calls, monitors entropy, and terminates streams when reasoning converges.

### Setup (One-Time)

```bash
# Install with proxy support
pip install entroplain[proxy]

# Start the proxy
entroplain-proxy --port 8765 --log-entropy

# Point your agent to the proxy
export OPENAI_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8765/v1

# or for NVIDIA:
export NVIDIA_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8765/v1

# or for Anthropic:
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8765/v1
```

That's it! Now run your agent normally and entropy monitoring is automatic.

### Proxy Options

```bash
# Monitor only, don't exit early
entroplain-proxy --port 8765 --no-early-exit

# Custom thresholds
entroplain-proxy --port 8765 --entropy-threshold 0.2 --min-valleys 3

# Enable cost tracking
entroplain-proxy --port 8765 --model gpt-4o --log-entropy

# Launch dashboard
entroplain-dashboard --port 8050
```

---

## 🎯 Dashboard

Real-time entropy visualization:

```bash
# Start the dashboard
entroplain-dashboard --port 8050

# Open in browser
open http://localhost:8050
```

The dashboard shows:
- **Live entropy curve** with valley markers
- **Token count** and valleys detected
- **Cost savings** in real-time
- **Status badges** (active/idle/exited)

---

## 💰 Cost Tracking

Track actual savings from early exit:

```python
from entroplain import CostTracker

tracker = CostTracker(model="gpt-4o")
tracker.track_input(100)   # 100 input tokens
tracker.track_output(50)   # 50 output tokens
tracker.set_full_estimate(150)  # Would have been 150

estimate = tracker.get_estimate()
print(f"Saved ${estimate.cost_saved_usd:.4f} ({estimate.savings_percent:.1f}%)")
```

**Supported pricing:** GPT-4o, GPT-4-turbo, Claude 4, Llama 3.1 (NVIDIA), or custom rates.

---

## Direct Usage (Python)

If you want more control, use Entroplain directly:

```python
from entroplain import EntropyMonitor, NVIDIAProvider

monitor = EntropyMonitor()
provider = NVIDIAProvider()

for token in provider.stream_with_entropy(
    model="meta/llama-3.1-70b-instruct",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Solve: x^2 = 16"}]
):
    monitor.track(token.token, token.entropy)
    print(token.token, end="")

    if monitor.should_exit():
        print("\n[Early exit - reasoning converged]")
        break

print(f"\nStats: {monitor.get_stats()}")
```

---

## How It Works

### 1. Track Entropy Per Token

Every token has an entropy value derived from the model's output distribution:

```python
entropy = -sum(p * log2(p) for p in probabilities if p > 0)
```

### 2. Detect Valleys

Local minima in the entropy trajectory indicate reasoning milestones:

```text
Entropy: 0.8 → 0.6 → 0.3* → 0.5 → 0.2* → 0.1*
                      ↑             ↑
                  Valley 1      Valley 2
```

### 3. Exit at the Right Moment

When valley count plateaus and velocity stabilizes, reasoning is complete.

---

## Exit Strategies

Choose how Entroplain detects convergence:

| Strategy | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `combined` | Entropy low OR valleys plateau, AND velocity stable (default) |
| `valleys_plateau` | Exit when reasoning milestones stabilize |
| `entropy_drop` | Exit when model confidence is high |
| `velocity_zero` | Exit when entropy stops changing |
| `repetition` | Exit when model starts repeating itself |
| `confidence` | Exit when top token prob > 95% for N tokens |

```python
monitor = EntropyMonitor(
    exit_condition="repetition",  # or "confidence", "combined", etc.
    repetition_threshold=0.3,      # Exit when 30% of recent tokens repeat
)
```

---

## Experimental Evidence

Tested on Llama-3.1-70b via NVIDIA API:

| Difficulty | Avg Valleys | Avg Entropy | Avg Velocity |
|------------|-------------|-------------|--------------|
| Easy       | 61.3        | 0.3758      | 0.4852       |
| Medium     | 53.0        | 0.3267      | 0.4394       |
| Hard       | 70.2        | 0.2947      | 0.4095       |

**Finding:** Hard problems have more entropy valleys (70.2 vs 61.3) — valleys correlate with reasoning complexity.

---
