Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Optimized implementation of training/fine-tuning of LLMs [D]
Have anyone tried to optimize the forward and backward using custom Cuda code or fused kernel to speed up the training time of current LLMs? I only have seen FasterTransformer ( NVIDIA/FasterTransformer) and other similar tools but they're only focusing on inference.

Exploring Ghostwriter, a GitHub Copilot alternative
Replit built Ghostwriter on the open source scene based on Salesforce’s Codegen, using Nvidia’s FasterTransformer and Triton server for highly optimized decoders, and the knowledge distillation process of the CodeGen model from two billion parameters to a faster model of one billion parameters.

[P] What we learned by making T5-large 2X faster than Pytorch (and any autoregressive transformer)
Nvidia FasterTransformer is a mix of Pytorch and CUDA/C++ dedicated code. The performance boost is huge on T5, they report a 10X speedup like TensorRT. However, the speedup is computed on a translation task where sequences are 25 tokens long on average. In our experience, improvement on very short sequences tend to decrease by large margins on longer ones. Still we plan to dig deeper into this project as it implements very interesting ideas.

[P] Python library to optimize Hugging Face transformer for inference: < 0.5 ms latency / 2850 infer/sec
On the other side of the spectrum, there is Nvidia demos (here or there) showing us how to build manually a full Transformer graph (operator by operator) in TensorRT to get best performance from their hardware. It’s out of reach for many NLP practitioners and it’s time consuming to debug/maintain/adapt to a slightly different architecture (I tried). Plus, there is a secret: the very optimized model only works for specific sequence lengths and batch sizes. Truth is that, so far (and it will improve soon), it’s mainly for MLPerf benchmark (the one used to compare DL hardware), marketing content, and very specialized engineers.
