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.

Recognizing Speech with a Raspberry Pi
Love that project! On the microcontroller side, I also work on TensorFlow Lite Micro, which has some (very basic) examples of speech detection for tiny devices: https://github.com/tensorflow/tflite-micro/tree/main/tensorflow/lite/micro/examples/micro_speech

[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!

[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!
