transformers VS onnxruntime

Fascinating work, very promising.

Can you summarise how the model in your paper differs from this one ?

https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/issues/27011

transformers is a package by Hugging Face, that helps you interact with models on HF Hub (GitHub)

Is t5x an encoder/decoder architecture?

Some more general options.

The Flax ecosystem

https://github.com/google/flax?tab=readme-ov-file

or dm-haiku

https://github.com/google-deepmind/dm-haiku

were some of the best developed communities in the Jax AI field

Perhaps the “trax” repo? https://github.com/google/trax

Some HF examples https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/tree/main/exampl...

Sadly it seems much of the work is proprietary these days, but one example could be Grok-1, if you customize the details. https://github.com/xai-org/grok-1/blob/main/run.py

The HuggingFace transformers library already has support for a similar method called prompt lookup decoding that uses the existing context to generate an ngram model: https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/issues/27722

I don't think it would be that hard to switch it out for a pretrained ngram model.

Most of this tutorial is based on Hugging Face course about Transformers and on Niels Rogge's Transformers tutorials: make sure to check their work and give them a star on GitHub, if you please ❤️

* Superconvergence + LR range finder + Fast AI's Ranger21 optimizer was the goto optimizer for CNNs, and worked fabulously well, but on transformers, the learning rate range finder sadi 1e-3 was the best, whilst 1e-5 was better. However, the 1 cycle learning rate stuck. https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/issues/16013

Thanks! :) I'm pushing them into transformers, pytorch-gemma and collabing with the Gemma team to resolve all the issues :)

The RoPE fix should already be in transformers 4.38.2: https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/pull/29285

My main PR for transformers which fixes most of the issues (some still left): https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/pull/29402

ONNX Runtime: ONNX Runtime: cross-platform, high performance ML inferencing and training accelerator

Embedding generation uses the ONNX runtime under the hood. This is a cross-platform inferencing library that supports multiple execution providers from CPU to specialized GPUs.

tfjs is dead, looking at the commit history. The standard now is to convert PyTorch to onnx, then use onnxruntime (https://github.com/microsoft/onnxruntime/tree/main/js/web) to run the model on the browsdr.

- slang[2] has the potential, but the meta programming part is not as strong as C++, existing libraries cannot be used.

The above conclusion is drawn from my work https://github.com/microsoft/onnxruntime/tree/dev/opencl, purely nightmare to work with thoes drivers and jit compilers. Hopefully Vcc can take compute shader more seriously.

I did. It depends what you want, for an overview of how ONNX Runtime works then Microsoft have a bunch of things on https://onnxruntime.ai, but the Java content is a bit lacking on there as I've not had time to write much. Eventually I'll probably write something similar to the C# SD tutorial they have on there but for the Java API.

For writing ONNX models from Java we added an ONNX export system to Tribuo in 2022 which can be used by anything on the JVM to export ONNX models in an easier way than writing a protobuf directly. Tribuo doesn't have full coverage of the ONNX spec, but we're happy to accept PRs to expand it, otherwise it'll fill out as we need it.

What about models besides GPT? Most of the popular vector encoding models aren't using this architecture.

If you really didn't want PyTorch/Transformers, you could consider exporting your models to ONNX (https://github.com/microsoft/onnxruntime).
