References¶
This section collects the scholarly and project-management resources that surround the ZigLlama codebase. Where the rest of the documentation explains what ZigLlama does and how it works, these pages explain why -- the research lineage behind each algorithm, the vocabulary shared by the community, and the conventions that keep the project healthy as it grows.
Section Map¶
| Page | Focus |
|---|---|
| Academic Papers | Annotated bibliography of the transformer, quantisation, sampling, and systems research that ZigLlama implements, organised by topic with full citations and arXiv links. |
| Glossary | Alphabetical reference of 80+ terms used throughout the documentation, each with a concise definition, mathematical notation where applicable, and the ZigLlama module that implements it. |
| Contributing | How to contribute code, documentation, tests, and tooling -- code-style expectations, documentation standards, testing requirements, and the pull-request workflow. |
| Changelog | Milestone-based history of ZigLlama releases from the initial foundation layer through the current state of 285+ tests and 18 model architectures. |
| Tags | Tag index used by the Material for MkDocs tags plugin to cross-reference pages by topic. |
How to Use This Section¶
- Studying a specific algorithm? Start with the Academic Papers page to find the original publication, then follow the annotation back to the ZigLlama module that implements it.
- Encountered an unfamiliar term? The Glossary provides one-paragraph definitions alongside the mathematical notation used in the rest of the documentation.
- Want to contribute? Read the Contributing guide before opening your first pull request.
- Checking what changed between versions? The Changelog lists every milestone with its component additions.
