Intel® Extension for Transformers is an innovative toolkit to accelerate Transformer-based models on Intel platforms, in particular effective on 4th Intel Xeon Scalable processor Sapphire Rapids (codenamed Sapphire Rapids). The toolkit provides the below key features and examples:
-
Seamless user experience of model compressions on Transformer-based models by extending Hugging Face transformers APIs and leveraging Intel® Neural Compressor
-
Advanced software optimizations and unique compression-aware runtime (released with NeurIPS 2022's paper Fast Distilbert on CPUs and QuaLA-MiniLM: a Quantized Length Adaptive MiniLM, and NeurIPS 2021's paper Prune Once for All: Sparse Pre-Trained Language Models)
-
Optimized Transformer-based model packages such as Stable Diffusion, GPT-J-6B, GPT-NEOX, BLOOM-176B, T5, Flan-T5 and end-to-end workflows such as SetFit-based text classification and document level sentiment analysis (DLSA)
-
NeuralChat, a custom Chatbot trained on Intel CPUs through parameter-efficient fine-tuning PEFT on domain knowledge
