 TROPT enables a wide range of contributions: from adding new recipes of published work (to the Recipe Hub), to adding a useful, new loss or optimizer, or additional model integrations, to resolving bugs or adding new features to the package.
 
-While the [guides](https://tropt.dev/guides/index.html) in our docs should be helpful in *implementing* new TROPT components (e.g., new recipe, loss, optimizer, etc.), they do not refer to the *integration* of new components within the package's code, which we also touch upon below.
+TROPT has a distinct [design](DESIGN.md) aimed at enabling modularity extensibility; make sure you adhere to convention in existing implmentation while following the [guides](https://tropt.dev/guides/index.html) in our docs that describe how to *implement* TROPT components (e.g., new recipe, loss, optimizer, etc.). Note that these guides they do not refer to the *integration* of new components within the package's code, which we also touch upon below.
 
 TROPT aims to be a growing library and a research hub. You are encouraged to contribute your own research, or implementations of existing works, under the TROPT framework.

 Where `LMBaseModel` defines the type of the model (language model), each **access mixin** declares a capability and requires the implementation of corresponding methods. The naming convention is: (a) mixins start with the *value* we can access (e.g., `Loss`, `Gradient`, `Logits`); (b) they end with the *input type* (e.g., `TokenAccess`, `TextAccess`). For instance, `LossTokenAccessMixin` enables loss computation from token inputs.
 
 Subsequently, classes for proprietary models are much simpler, due to the limited access to their internals. For instance, the Gemini embedding model has a single access mixin:
 
 ```python
-    class EncoderGeminiModel(
-        EncoderBaseModel,
-        LossTextAccessMixin
-    ):
-        ...

 Loss classes are simple and minimalistic, and accept model input/output properites (as defined in the previous section) to compute the loss. For example, a cross-entropy loss that operates on token-level logits would be implemented as:
 ```python
-    class PrefillCELoss(BaseLoss):
+class PrefillCELoss(BaseLoss):

+
+    def __call__(

 ```
 
 The loss functions are naturally called from the `compute_*` methods in the model, to compute the loss itself, or gradients w.r.t. it. This integration is loss agnostic, as we use a unified loss resolution---which we describe next---that allows the model to call a generic loss on the model outputs, without hard-coding specific loss types.

 * **Model requirements.** First, the optimizer **defines the used input level** and the **access level** it works on, thus deriving requirements on the model. To accommodate and validate these requirements from the model, each optimizer must explicitly include the `model_requirements`. For example, the GCG optimizer requires a gradient access:
 ```python
-    class GCGOptimizer(BaseOptimizer):
-        model_requirements = (LossTokenAccessMixin, GradientTokenAccessMixin)
-
+class GCGOptimizer(BaseOptimizer):
+    model_requirements = (LossTokenAccessMixin, GradientTokenAccessMixin)
