"""Real-VLM micro reproduction of vStream (arXiv:2604.16587) on HF Jobs.

Scaled, honest reproduction of the core method on a *single small VLM*
(Qwen/Qwen2-VL-2B-Instruct) over a handful of images, to verify the
mechanism on REAL model internals rather than synthetic data:

  1. Extract cross-attention A^{(l,h)}_{t,i} for generated tokens -> vision tokens.
  2. Cluster vision tokens into K semantic regions via DINOv2 features
     (paper uses DINOv3; DINOv2 is a faithful stand-in for the clustering step).
  3. For each region R_k, ablate it (zero its vision tokens) and re-run the
     forward pass; the span-level ablation effect is
        Delta_k(S) = sum_t [log p(y_t|x,y<t) - log p(y_t|ablate(x,R_k),y<t)].
  4. Feature f_{S,k} = mean-pooled cross-attention over span S and region R_k,
     concatenated across all L*H (layer,head) -> L*H-dim vector.
  5. Train a LINEAR estimator w (L*H params) to maximize Pearson between
     predicted w.f and target Delta; evaluate LDS = Spearman over regions,
     and measure the per-10-token latency of the linear estimator vs the
     perturbation (re-forward) baseline.

This is a TOY SCALE run: ~N_IMAGES images, K regions, a 2B model. It does
NOT reproduce the paper's 4x 7-9B models x 5 categories x 2000 examples.
It verifies the pipeline and the direction/magnitude of the claims.
