RWKV-8 and ROSA experiments

Use this route when a request mentions RWKV-8, Heron, ROSA, Rapid Online Suffix Automaton, 1-bit/4-bit ROSA, ROSA-QKV, reverse-digit toy tasks, or the small experimental scripts under the RWKV-8 family.

Route by task

• Understand the idea: read rosa-workflows.md for the suffix-automaton behavior and the purpose of each toy script family.
• Run a CPU-safe toy check: use rosa_suffix_automaton_demo.py to see the core sequence behavior without training or checkpoints.
• Debug a toy script: read troubleshooting.md before allocating GPU time or compiling CUDA kernels.

What this route owns

• RWKV-8.md and RWKV-v8/README.md conceptual material.
• ROSA 1-bit and 4-bit language-model toy scripts.
• ROSA-QKV arithmetic and reverse-digit demos.
• Warnings about GPU, checkpoint, and runtime assumptions in experimental code.

What this route does not own

• RWKV-7 production training belongs to training-data.
• Running a language-model checkpoint belongs to inference-evaluation.
• Tensor comparisons and checkpoint export belong to architecture-reference.

Safe-use rule

Treat these scripts as research prototypes. They can be highly useful for understanding suffix-state ideas, but most original scripts assume CUDA, pre-existing .pth files, or long training loops. Do a CPU-safe algorithm check first, then decide whether the full toy experiment is justified.
