deepsparse VS NudeNet

Interesting company. Yannic Kilcher interviewed Nir Shavit last year and they went into some depth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PAiQ1jTN5k DeepSparse is on GitHub: https://github.com/neuralmagic/deepsparse

For 1), what is the easiest way to speed up inference (assume only PyTorch and primarily GPU but also some CPU)? I have been using ONNX and Torchscript but there is a bit of a learning curve and sometimes it can be tricky to get the model to actually work. Is there anything else worth trying? I am enthused by things like TorchDynamo (although I have not tested it extensively) due to its apparent ease of use. I also saw the post yesterday about Kernl using (OpenAI) Triton kernels to speed up transformer models which also looks interesting. Are things like SageMaker Neo or NeuralMagic worth trying? My only reservation with some of these is they still seem to be pretty model/architecture specific. I am a little reluctant to put much time into these unless I know others have had some success first.

You should look into deepsparse, they are working on delivering GPU level performance on consumer CPUs with some great results: https://github.com/neuralmagic/deepsparse. There is a great interview with the founder, Nir Shavit here: https://piped.kavin.rocks/watch?v=0PAiQ1jTN5k

Utilizing the oBERT research we published at Neural Magic and some further iteration, we’ve enabled an increase in NLP performance of 175X while retaining 99% accuracy on the question-answering task in MLPerf. A combination of distillation, layer dropping, quantization, and unstructured pruning with oBERT enabled these large performance gains through the DeepSparse Engine. All of our contributions and research are open-sourced or free to use. Read through the oBERT paper on arxiv, try out the research in SparseML, and dive into the writeup to learn more about how we achieved these impressive results and utilize them for your own use cases!

Open-source projects leveraged by nebullvm include OpenVINO, TensorRT, Intel Neural Compressor, SparseML and DeepSparse, Apache TVM, ONNX Runtime, TFlite and XLA. A huge thank you to the open-source community for developing and maintaining these amazing projects.

BERT-Large (345 million parameters) is now faster than the much smaller DistilBERT (66 million parameters) all while retaining the accuracy of the much larger BERT-Large model! We made this possible with Intel Labs by applying cutting-edge sparsification and quantization research from their Prune Once For All paper and utilizing it in the DeepSparse engine. It makes BERT-Large 12x smaller while delivering 8x latency speedup on commodity CPUs. We open-sourced the research in SparseML; run through the overview here and give it a try!

And benchmark/deploy with 8X better performance in DeepSparse!

Hi _Arsenie, this runs the deepsparse.server command for multiple models. and btw, we recently updated the READMEs for the Deepsparse Engine https://github.com/neuralmagic/deepsparse

https://github.com/notAI-tech/NudeNet - This is how to use it

Hi all! I recently came up with a Discord bot that automatically removes NSFW images outside of #NSFW. It uses a neural network made by notAI-tech (NudeNet) to make these decisions, has configuration for everything you'd need, has pretty embeds for alerts, and is asynchronous so the bot wont get held up on every image.

Try NudeNet - it's not super user friendly to run but you should be fine since it sounds like you have some experience. It's the only thing I know of.

I used NudeNet, everything is detailed on their github page
