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.

PyTorch Primitives in WebGPU for the Browser
https://github.com/tensorflow/tfjs/tree/master/tfjs-backend-...
([...], tflite-support, tflite-micro)
From facebookresearch/shumai (a JS tensor library) https://github.com/facebookresearch/shumai/issues/122 :
> It doesn't make sense to support anything besides WebGPU at this point. WASM + SIMD is around 15-20x slower on my machine[1]. Although WebGL is more widely supported today, it doesn't have the compute features needed for efficient modern ML (transformers etc) and will likely be a deprecated backend for other frameworks when WebGPU comes online.

Why do people curse JS so much, but also say it's better than Python
JS for ML actually does exist https://github.com/facebookresearch/shumai

Breaking Up with Python
> It's really a shame that data science, ML, and notebooks are so wrapped up in it. Otherwise we could jettison the whole thing into space
Although I personally feel Python has its place, I contribute to a project that hopes to diversify the ML/scientific computing space with a TypeScript tensor lib called Shumai: https://github.com/facebookresearch/shumai

Tinygrad: A simple and powerful neural network framework
Doesn’t really matter for large batch/large model training on GPUs that don’t need much coordination.
But Python speed is one of the main motivations for a JS/TS based ML lib I’m working on: https://github.com/facebookresearch/shumai

[D] Using JavaScript for ML Training/Research (not in the browser)
As a hedge against CPython never becoming fast, we're creating a project called Shumai that attempts to deeply integrate with a new JavaScript runtime (Bun[3]).
-
Python 3.11 is much faster than 3.8
You can expose objects. Here's how it is done in Bun: https://github.com/facebookresearch/shumai/blob/main/shumai/...
We've been using this feature heavily in Shumai.
I think you are vastly overestimating the complexity associated with this (user exposed ref-counting/garbage collection) and may not be totally up to date on what's implemented.

The Elements of Differentiable Programming
The dual numbers exist just as surely as the real numbers and have been used well over 100 years
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_number
Pytorch has had them for many years.
https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/generated/torch.autograd.for...
JAX implements them and uses them exactly as stated in this thread.
https://github.com/google/jax/discussions/10157#discussionco...
As you so eloquently stated, "you shouldn't be proclaiming things you don't actually know on a public forum," and doubly so when your claimed "corrections" are so demonstrably and totally incorrect.

Julia GPU-based ODE solver 20x-100x faster than those in Jax and PyTorch
On your last point, as long as you jit the topmost level, it doesn't matter whether or not you have inner jitted functions. The end result should be the same.

Apple releases MLX for Apple Silicon
The design of MLX is inspired by frameworks like NumPy, PyTorch, Jax, and ArrayFire.

MLPerf training tests put Nvidia ahead, Intel close, and Google well behind
I'm still not totally sure what the issue is. Jax uses program transformations to compile programs to run on a variety of hardware, for example, using XLA for TPUs. It can also run cuda ops for Nvidia gpus without issue: https://jax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html
There is also support for custom cpp and cuda ops if that's what is needed: https://jax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Custom_Operation_for_GP...
I haven't worked with float4, but can imagine that new numerical types would require some special handling. But I assume that's the case for any ml environment.
But really you probably mean fixed point 4bit integer types? Looks like that has had at least some work done in Jax: https://github.com/google/jax/issues/8566

MatX: Efficient C++17 GPU numerical computing library with Python-like syntax
>
Are they even comparing apples to apples to claim that they see these improvements over NumPy?
> While the code complexity and length are roughly the same, the MatX version shows a 2100x over the Numpy version, and over 4x faster than the CuPy version on the same GPU.
NumPy doesn't use GPU by default unless you use something like Jax [1] to compile NumPy code to run on GPUs. I think more honest comparison will mainly compare MatX running on same CPU like NumPy as focus the GPU comparison against CuPy.

JAX – NumPy on the CPU, GPU, and TPU, with great automatic differentiation
Actually that never changed. The README has always had an example of differentiating through native Python control flow:
https://github.com/google/jax/commit/948a8db0adf233f333f3e5f...
The constraints on control flow expressions come from jax.jit (because Python control flow can't be staged out) and jax.vmap (because we can't take multiple branches of Python control flow, which we might need to do for different batch elements). But autodiff of Python-native control flow works fine!

Functional Programming 1
2. https://github.com/fantasyland/fantasy-land (A bit heavy on jargon)
Note there is a python version of Ramda available on pypi and there’s a lot of FP tidbits inside JAX:
3. https://pypi.org/project/ramda/ (Worth making your own version if you want to learn, though)
4. For nested data, JAX tree_util is epic: https://jax.readthedocs.io/en/latest/jax.tree_util.html and also their curry implementation is funny: https://github.com/google/jax/blob/4ac2bdc2b1d71ec0010412a32...
Anyway don’t put FP on a pedestal, main thing is to focus on the core principles of avoiding external mutation and making helper functions. Doesn’t always work because some languages like Rust don’t have legit support for currying (afaik in 2023 August), but in those cases you can hack it with builder methods to an extent.
Finally, if you want to understand the middle of the midwit meme, check out this wiki article and connect the free monoid to the Kleene star (0 or more copies of your pattern) and Kleene plus (1 or more copies of your pattern). Those are also in regex so it can help you remember the regex symbols. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_monoid?wprov=sfti1
The simplest example might be {0}^* in which case
0: “” // because we use *

Best Way to Learn JAX
Hello! I'm trying to learn JAX over the next couple of weeks. Ideally, I want to be comfortable with using it for projects after about 3 weeks to a month, although I understand that may not be realistic. I currently have experience with PyTorch and TensorFlow. How should I go about learning JAX? Is there a specific YouTube tutorial or online course I should use, or should I just use the tutorial on https://jax.readthedocs.io/? Any information, advice, or experience you can share would be much appreciated!
