kermt-add-cmim-pretrain SKILL.md skillA
kermt-add-cmim-pretrain from nvidia/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Convert a grover_base checkpoint (encoder-only or encoder + vocab heads) into a hybrid checkpoint by adding a randomly-initialized cMIM decoder + latent_dist, then continue pretraining on the user's corpus as hybrid (vocab + contrast). Effectively kermt-continue-pretrain with a one-time ckpt-conversion step prepended.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# kermt-add-cmim-pretrain Convert a grover_base checkpoint (legacy original-GROVER `grover.encoders.*` or modern `kermt.encoders.*`, with or without vocab heads) into a fully-formed hybrid (cMIM + vocab) checkpoint, then continue pretraining on the user's corpus as hybrid. This is a thin wrapper: `upgrade_to_hybrid.py` produces a new ckpt that classifies as `model_type: hybrid` via `check_checkpoint.py`, and the rest of the workflow is identical to `kermt-continue-pretrain`. > **Status: experimental.** This workflow is functional end-to-end but has not > been benchmarked against the manuscript's from-scratch hybrid training (which > produces the released checkpoint). Use as an experimental alternative to > `kermt-pretrain-scratch` when you want to extend an existing grover_base > checkpoint rather than restart from random init. Validate downstream > performance on your own benchmark before relying on the upgraded ckpt for > production work. ## Skill and runtime paths Set `SKILL_DIR` to the absolute path of this installed skill directory. Export `KERMT_REPO` as the absolute path to the KERMT checkout used for model …

How to install
mdr add nvidia/skills/kermt-add-cmim-pretrain@sha256:eed773f29585c8b8The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260915.2cd3507, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
