We’re on a mission to unify all ML frameworks 💥 + automate code conversions 🔄. pip install ivy-core 🚀, join our growing community 😊, and lets-unify.ai! 🦾
Ivy is an ML framework that currently supports JAX, TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Numpy. We’re very excited for you to try it out!
Next on our roadmap is to support automatic code conversions between all frameworks 🔄, and add instant multi-framework support for all open-source libraries with only a few lines of code changed! Read on to learn more 😊
The docs are split into a number of sub-pages explaining different aspects of why we created Ivy, how to use it, what we’ve got planned on our roadmap, and how to contribute! Click on the sub-headings below to check out these pages!
We use 🚧 to indicate that the feature being discussed is in development. We use ✅ to indicate that it is already implemented!
Check out the docs for more info, and check out our Google Colabs for some interactive demos!
🚨 Ivy is still at a relatively early stage of development. Expect breaking changes and sharp edges until we release version 1.2.0 in the next few weeks!
If you would like to contribute, please check out our contributor guide, and take a look at the open tasks if you'd like to dive straight in! 🧑💻
Ivy can be installed like so: pip install ivy-core
You can immediately use Ivy to train a neural network, using your favorite framework in the background, like so:
import ivy
class MyModel(ivy.Module):
def __init__(self):
self.linear0 = ivy.Linear(3, 64)
self.linear1 = ivy.Linear(64, 1)
ivy.Module.__init__(self)
def _forward(self, x):
x = ivy.relu(self.linear0(x))
return ivy.sigmoid(self.linear1(x))
ivy.set_backend('torch') # change to any backend!
model = MyModel()
optimizer = ivy.Adam(1e-4)
x_in = ivy.array([1., 2., 3.])
target = ivy.array([0.])
def loss_fn(v):
out = model(x_in, v=v)
return ivy.mean((out - target)**2)
for step in range(100):
loss, grads = ivy.execute_with_gradients(loss_fn, model.v)
model.v = optimizer.step(model.v, grads)
print('step {} loss {}'.format(step, ivy.to_numpy(loss).item()))
print('Finished training!')This example uses PyTorch as a backend framework, but the backend can easily be changed to your favorite frameworks, such as TensorFlow, or JAX.
Framework Agnostic Functions
In the example below we show how Ivy's concatenation function is compatible with tensors from different frameworks. This is the same for ALL Ivy functions. They can accept tensors from any framework and return the correct result.
import jax.numpy as jnp
import tensorflow as tf
import numpy as np
import torch
import ivy
jax_concatted = ivy.concat((jnp.ones((1,)), jnp.ones((1,))), -1)
tf_concatted = ivy.concat((tf.ones((1,)), tf.ones((1,))), -1)
np_concatted = ivy.concat((np.ones((1,)), np.ones((1,))), -1)
torch_concatted = ivy.concat((torch.ones((1,)), torch.ones((1,))), -1)To see a list of all Ivy methods, type ivy. into a python command prompt and press tab.
You should then see output like the following:
