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.

Fast Llama 2 on CPUs with Sparse Fine-Tuning and DeepSparse
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

[D] How to get the fastest PyTorch inference and what is the "best" model serving framework?
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.

[D] Most efficient open source language model ?
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

[R] New sparsity research (oBERT) enabled 175X increase in CPU performance for MLPerf submission
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!

An open-source library for optimizing deep learning inference. (1) You select the target optimization, (2) nebullvm searches for the best optimization techniques for your model-hardware configuration, and then (3) serves an optimized model that runs much faster in inference
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.

[R] BERT-Large: Prune Once for DistilBERT Inference Performance
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!

[P] Get 2x Faster Transcriptions with OpenAI Whisper Large on Kernl
I periodically check kernl.ai to see whether the documentation and tutorial sections have been expanded. My advice is put some real effort and focus in to examples and tutorials. It is key for an optimization/acceleration library. 10x-ing the users of a library like this is much more likely to come from spending 10 out of every 100 developer hours writing tutorials, as opposed to spending those 8 or 9 of those tutorial-writing hours on developing new features which only a small minority understand how to apply.

[P] BetterTransformer: PyTorch-native free-lunch speedups for Transformer-based models
FlashAttention + quantization has to the best of knowledge not yet been explored, but I think it would a great engineering direction. I would not expect to see this any time soon natively in PyTorch's BetterTransformer though. /u/pommedeterresautee & folks at ELS-RD made an awesome work releasing kernl where custom implementations (through OpenAI Triton) could maybe easily live.
