+# Glaurung Large 001
+
+A RoBERTa-based masked language model trained on binary executable files for security research and binary analysis.
+
+## Overview
+
+**Glaurung Large 001** is a transformer model specifically designed for understanding binary executable files. It uses a custom BPE (Byte Pair Encoding) tokenizer trained on multi-byte patterns from various binary formats across multiple architectures (x86-64, ARM64, etc.) and operating systems (Linux, Alpine, Ubuntu, Debian, Rocky).
+
+### Key Features
+- **Custom Binary Tokenizer**: BPE tokenizer that creates efficient multi-byte tokens from binary data
+- **Binary-Aware**: Trained on actual executable files, not hex strings
+- **Multi-Architecture**: Understands patterns from various CPU architectures and file formats
+- **Latin-1 Encoding**: Preserves all byte values (0-255) without loss
+- **Large Model**: 371M parameters with deeper architecture for enhanced binary understanding
+
+## Model Details
+
+- **Architecture**: RoBERTa for Masked Language Modeling
+- **Hidden Size**: 1024
+- **Layers**: 24
+- **Attention Heads**: 16
+- **Intermediate Size**: 4096
+- **Vocabulary Size**: 65,536 tokens
+- **Max Position Embeddings**: 520
+- **Parameters**: ~371M
+- **Special Tokens**:
+  - `<|start|>` (0): Beginning of sequence
+  - `<|end|>` (1): End token
+  - `<|sep|>` (2): Separator/EOS

+
+## Installation & Loading
+
+```bash
+pip install transformers torch
+```
+
+```python
+from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForMaskedLM, AutoModel, pipeline
+
+# Method 1: Load with pipeline for fill-mask tasks
+fill_mask = pipeline('fill-mask', model='mjbommar/glaurung-large-001', device=-1)
+
+# Method 2: Load model and tokenizer directly for fill-mask
+model = AutoModelForMaskedLM.from_pretrained('mjbommar/glaurung-large-001')
+tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('mjbommar/glaurung-large-001')
+
+# Method 3: Load base model for feature extraction/embeddings
+model_base = AutoModel.from_pretrained('mjbommar/glaurung-large-001')
+```
+
+## Usage Guide
+
+### 1. Loading Binary Data (Critical!)
+
+Binary files MUST be read as bytes and converted to latin-1 encoding:
+
+```python
+# CORRECT: Read as bytes, decode with latin-1
+with open('/usr/bin/ls', 'rb') as f:
+    binary_data = f.read()  # Read first 512 bytes or as needed
+    text = binary_data.decode('latin-1', errors='ignore')
+
+# WRONG: Never use hex strings or other encodings
+# hex_string = "7f454c46..."  # ❌ Will not work
+# utf8_text = binary_data.decode('utf-8')  # ❌ Will lose bytes
+```
+
+### 2. Understanding the BPE Tokenizer
+
+The tokenizer creates multi-byte tokens from common binary patterns:
+
+```python
+from transformers import AutoTokenizer
+
+tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('mjbommar/glaurung-large-001')
+
+# Example: ELF header tokenization
+elf_header = b'\x7fELF\x02\x01\x01\x00'
+text = elf_header.decode('latin-1')
+
+tokens = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='pt')
+token_ids = tokens['input_ids'][0].tolist()
+
+# Decode tokens individually to see multi-byte patterns
+for token_id in token_ids[1:5]:  # Skip special tokens
+    decoded = tokenizer.decode([token_id], skip_special_tokens=True)
+    print(f"Token {token_id}: {repr(decoded)}")
+
+# Output:
+# Token 45689: '\x7fEL'    # ELF magic compressed to one token!
+# Token 3665:  'F\x02'     # Format byte + 64-bit flag
+# Token 458:   '\x01\x01'  # Little-endian + version
+# Token 600:   '\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00'  # Padding
+```
+
+### 3. Fill-Mask Task (Token-Level Prediction)
+
+**Important**: Masking works at the TOKEN level, not byte level!
+
+```python
+from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForMaskedLM
+import torch
+
+model = AutoModelForMaskedLM.from_pretrained('mjbommar/glaurung-large-001')
+tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('mjbommar/glaurung-large-001')
+
+# Read binary file
+with open('/usr/bin/ls', 'rb') as f:
+    binary_data = f.read(512)
+    text = binary_data.decode('latin-1', errors='ignore')
+
+# Tokenize
+tokens = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='pt')
+token_ids = tokens['input_ids'][0].tolist()
+
+# Mask the second token (first content token after <|start|>)
+masked_ids = token_ids.copy()
+original_token = masked_ids[1]  # Save original
+masked_ids[1] = tokenizer.mask_token_id
+
+# Prepare input
+tokens_masked = {
+    'input_ids': torch.tensor([masked_ids]),
+    'attention_mask': torch.tensor([[1]*len(masked_ids)])
+}
+
+# Predict
+with torch.no_grad():
+    outputs = model(**tokens_masked)
+    predictions = outputs.logits[0, 1].softmax(dim=-1)
+    top5 = predictions.topk(5)
+
+# Show results
+print(f"Original: {repr(tokenizer.decode([original_token]))}")
+for score, token_id in zip(top5.values, top5.indices):
+    token_text = tokenizer.decode([token_id.item()], skip_special_tokens=True)
+    print(f"Predicted: {repr(token_text)} (confidence: {score:.2%})")
+
+# Example output:
+# Original: '\x7fEL'
+# Predicted: '\x7fEL' (confidence: 59.23%)  ✓ Correct!
+# Predicted: '\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00' (confidence: 9.87%)
+# Predicted: '\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00' (confidence: 4.45%)
+```
+
+### 4. Using Pipeline for Fill-Mask
+
+The pipeline handles tokenization automatically but requires understanding multi-byte tokens:
+
+```python
+from transformers import pipeline
+
+# Load pipeline
+fill_mask = pipeline('fill-mask', model='mjbommar/glaurung-large-001', device=-1)
+
+# Read binary
+with open('/usr/bin/ls', 'rb') as f:
+    binary_data = f.read(100)
+    text = binary_data.decode('latin-1', errors='ignore')
+
+# Create masked input at token boundaries
+# First, tokenize to understand token boundaries
+tokenizer = fill_mask.tokenizer
+tokens = tokenizer(text)
+decoded_tokens = [tokenizer.decode([tid], skip_special_tokens=True) for tid in tokens['input_ids']]
+
+# Reconstruct with mask at token boundary
+masked_text = ''.join([
+    decoded_tokens[0],  # <|start|>
+    fill_mask.tokenizer.mask_token,  # Mask the ELF magic
+    ''.join(decoded_tokens[2:])  # Rest of tokens
+])
+
+# Predict
+predictions = fill_mask(masked_text, top_k=3)
+for pred in predictions:
+    print(f"{repr(pred['token_str'])}: {pred['score']:.2%}")
+```
+
+### 5. Feature Extraction & Embedding Similarity
+
+Compare binary files by their learned embeddings:
+
+```python
+from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel
+import torch
+import torch.nn.functional as F
+from pathlib import Path
+
+# Load for embeddings (not MaskedLM)
+tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('mjbommar/glaurung-large-001')
+model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('mjbommar/glaurung-large-001')
+model.eval()
+
+def get_binary_embedding(file_path, max_bytes=512):
+    """Extract embedding for a binary file using mean pooling"""
+    with open(file_path, 'rb') as f:
+        binary_data = f.read(max_bytes)
+        text = binary_data.decode('latin-1', errors='ignore')
+
+    # Tokenize
+    tokens = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='pt',
+                      padding=True, truncation=True, max_length=512)
+
+    # Get embeddings with mean pooling
+    with torch.no_grad():
+        outputs = model(**tokens)
+        # Mean pooling (better than CLS token for this model)
+        attention_mask = tokens['attention_mask']
+        hidden_states = outputs.last_hidden_state
+
+        # Mask padding tokens
+        mask_expanded = attention_mask.unsqueeze(-1).expand(hidden_states.size()).float()
+        sum_embeddings = torch.sum(hidden_states * mask_expanded, dim=1)
+        sum_mask = torch.clamp(mask_expanded.sum(dim=1), min=1e-9)
+        embedding = sum_embeddings / sum_mask
+
+    return embedding
+
+# Compare multiple binaries
+files = ['/usr/bin/ls', '/usr/bin/cat', '/usr/bin/echo', '/etc/passwd']
+embeddings = {}
+
+for file_path in files:
+    if Path(file_path).exists():
+        name = Path(file_path).name
+        embeddings[name] = get_binary_embedding(file_path)
+
+# Calculate similarities
+print("Cosine Similarity Matrix:")
+names = list(embeddings.keys())
+for name1 in names:
+    similarities = []
+    for name2 in names:
+        sim = F.cosine_similarity(embeddings[name1], embeddings[name2], dim=-1).item()
+        similarities.append(f"{sim:.3f}")
+    print(f"{name1:10s}: {' '.join(similarities)}")
+
+# Expected output:
+# ELF executables (ls, cat, echo) will have high similarity (0.85-0.95)
+# Text file (passwd) will have low similarity (0.25-0.30) to ELF files
+```
+
+## Real-World Example: ELF Header Analysis
+
+```python
+from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForMaskedLM
+import torch
+
+# Load model and tokenizer
+model = AutoModelForMaskedLM.from_pretrained('mjbommar/glaurung-large-001')
+tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('mjbommar/glaurung-large-001')
+
+# Analyze ELF executable structure
+with open('/usr/bin/ls', 'rb') as f:
+    binary_data = f.read(512)  # Read enough for context
+
+print(f"Raw bytes (hex): {binary_data[:16].hex()}")
+# Output: 7f454c46020101000000000000000000
+
+# Convert to latin-1 for model
+text = binary_data.decode('latin-1', errors='ignore')
+
+# Tokenize to see learned patterns
+tokens = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='pt')
+token_ids = tokens['input_ids'][0].tolist()
+
+# Show what tokens the model learned
+print("\nTokenized ELF header:")
+for i in range(1, min(5, len(token_ids)-1)):  # First few content tokens
+    token_text = tokenizer.decode([token_ids[i]], skip_special_tokens=True)
+    print(f"Token {i}: {token_ids[i]:5d} = {repr(token_text)}")
+
+# Output:
+# Token 1: 45689 = '\x7fEL'  - ELF magic compressed to one token!
+# Token 2:  3665 = 'F\x02'   - 'F' + 64-bit flag
+# Token 3:   458 = '\x01\x01' - Little-endian + version
+# Token 4:   600 = '\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00' - Padding
+
+# Test model's understanding by masking each token
+print("\nTesting model predictions:")
+for position in [1, 2, 3]:  # Test first 3 content tokens
+    masked_ids = token_ids.copy()
+    original_token = masked_ids[position]
+    masked_ids[position] = tokenizer.mask_token_id
+
+    # Create input tensors
+    tokens_masked = {

+    original_text = tokenizer.decode([original_token], skip_special_tokens=True)
+    predicted_text = tokenizer.decode([predicted_token], skip_special_tokens=True)
+    correct = "✓" if predicted_token == original_token else "✗"
+
+    print(f"Position {position}: {correct}")
+    print(f"  Original:  {repr(original_text)}")

+
+# Expected Output:

+#   Original:  '\x01\x01'
+#   Predicted: '\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00' (confidence: 59.1%)
+```
+
+## Multi-Format Analysis: ELF vs PE Headers & x86 Instructions
+
+Systematic testing reveals performance varies by format and training data exposure:
+
+### Performance Summary Table
+
+| Pattern Type | Confidence | Rank | Notes |
+|--------------|------------|------|-------|
+| **ELF magic** (`\x7fEL`) | 59.2% | #1 | Strong (94.6% of training data) |
+| **PE magic** (`MZ`) | 7.3% | #2 | Proportional to training (5.4% of data) |
+| **x86 prologue** (`PUSH RBP; MOV RBP, RSP`) | 100.0% | #1 | Perfect in full context |
+
+### ELF Header Recognition (Strong)
+
+```python
+# Test: /usr/bin/ls with 152 bytes of context
+# Token 1: '\x7fEL' (3-byte ELF magic)
+# Result: 59.23% confidence, rank #1 ✓
+```
+
+The model strongly recognizes ELF headers (94.6% of training data).
+
+### PE Header Recognition (Limited)
+
+```python
+# Test: Realistic DOS/PE header with 152 bytes of context
+# Token 1: 'MZ' (2-byte PE signature)
+# Result: 7.34% confidence, rank #2 (null bytes ranked #1 at 29.95%)
+```
+
+PE recognition reflects limited training exposure (5.4% of training data, 647 files).
+
+### x86 Instructions (Context-Dependent)
+
+```python
+# Test: Function prologue in /usr/bin/ls at offset 0x4e05
+# Token: 'UH\x89å' = 0x554889e5 (4 bytes: PUSH RBP; MOV RBP, RSP)
+# Result: 100.00% confidence, rank #1 ✓
+```
+
+**Key Finding:** The BPE tokenizer learned to respect x86 instruction boundaries!
+- 1-byte tokens: `PUSH reg` (0x55), `RET` (0xc3)
+- 2-byte tokens: `MOV reg,reg` with ModR/M (0x89e5)
+- 4-byte tokens: Common prologues (0x554889e5)
+
+Performance is excellent **with full binary context** but degrades on isolated instruction bytes.
+
+### Training Data Distribution & Performance Correlation
+
+The model was trained on the following binary distribution:
+
+| Source | Format | File Count | Size (MB) | % by Count | % by Size |
+|--------|--------|------------|-----------|------------|-----------|
+| Debian/Ubuntu/Alpine packages | ELF | 11,330 | 4,572 | 94.6% | 68.9% |
+| Windows Update drivers + SOREL-20M malware | PE | 647 | 2,062 | 5.4% | 31.1% |
+| **Total** | | **11,977** | **6,634** | | |
+
+**Key Metrics:**
+- **By file count**: 17.5:1 (ELF:PE)
+- **By data size**: 2.2:1 (ELF:PE)
+- **PE files are 8x larger** on average (3.19 MB vs 0.40 MB per file)
+
+This distribution explains the observed performance:
+
+| Format | Training Data | Recognition Confidence | Notes |
+|--------|---------------|----------------------|-------|
+| ELF | 11,330 files (95%) / 4,572 MB (69%) | 59.2% | Dominant by count |
+| PE | 647 files (5%) / 2,062 MB (31%) | 7.3% | Better represented by size |
+
+**Key Takeaway:** The model's PE performance reflects training data composition. While PE is only 5% by file count, it represents 31% by size due to larger average file sizes. The 8.1x performance gap (59.2% vs 7.3%) roughly correlates with the 17.5x file count imbalance, though size-based exposure is more balanced.
+
+**Practical Guidance:**
+- ✅ **Use for**: Linux/Unix binary analysis, ELF malware analysis, x86-64 code patterns
+- ⚠️ **Limited for**: Windows PE analysis (consider retraining with balanced PE dataset)
+- ✅ **Tokenizer learned**: Instruction-level boundaries across both formats
+
+## Training Details
+
+- **MLM Objective**: 20% masking probability
+- **Training Data**: Binary executables from various architectures
+- **Optimization**: AdamW with warmup, dropout 0.01
+- **Special Design**: Increased position embeddings (520) to handle RoBERTa's position offset
+- **Model Size**: Large variant with 24 layers and 1024 hidden dimensions
+
+## Limitations
+
+- Maximum sequence length: 512 tokens
+- Optimized for executable files (ELF, PE, Mach-O)
+- Mean pooling recommended for embeddings (pooler layer not specifically trained)
+- Larger model size requires more memory (consider using device_map="auto" for large batches)
