libinephany 1.1.21

Inephany library containing code commonly used by multiple subpackages.

Inephany Common Library

The Inephany Common Library (libinephany) is a core utility package that provides shared functionality, data models, and utilities used across multiple Inephany packages. It contains essential components for hyperparameter optimization, model observation, data serialization, and common utilities.

Features

• Pydantic Data Models: Comprehensive schemas for hyperparameters, observations, and API communications
• Utility Functions: Common utilities for PyTorch, optimization, transforms, and more
• Observation System: Tools for collecting and managing model statistics and observations
• Constants and Enums: Standardized constants and enumerations for agent types, model families, and module types
• AWS Integration: Utilities for AWS services integration
• Web Application Utilities: Common web app functionality and endpoints

Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10+
• Make (for build automation)

Ubuntu / Debian

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3.12

MacOS with brew

brew install python@3.12

For Developers (Monorepo)

If you're working within the Inephany monorepo, the package is already available and will be installed automatically when you run the installation commands in dependent packages.

For Clients (Standalone Installation)

libinephany is available on PyPI and can be installed directly:

pip install libinephany

For development installations with additional dependencies:

pip install libinephany[dev]

Key Components

Pydantic Models

The package provides comprehensive data models for:

• Hyperparameter Configurations: HParamConfig, HParamConfigs
• Observation Models: ObservationInputs, tensor statistics
• API Schemas: Request/response models for client-server communication
• State Management: Hyperparameter states and update callbacks

Utility Functions

Agent Utilities (agent_utils.py)

• Agent ID generation and parsing
• Hyperparameter group management
• Agent type validation

Constants (constants.py)

• Hyperparameter type constants (learning_rate, weight_decay, etc.)
• Agent prefixes and suffixes
• API key headers and timestamp formats

Enums (enums.py)

• AgentTypes: Learning rate, weight decay, dropout, etc.
• ModelFamilies: GPT, BERT, OLMo
• ModuleTypes: Convolutional, attention, linear, embedding

Optimization Utilities (optim_utils.py)

• PyTorch optimizer utilities
• Parameter group management
• Learning rate scheduler utilities

PyTorch Utilities (torch_utils.py)

• Tensor operations
• Model utilities
• Distributed training helpers

Observation System

The observation system provides tools for collecting and managing model statistics:

• StatisticManager: Centralized statistics collection and management
• ObserverPipeline: Configurable observation pipelines
• PipelineCoordinator: Coordinates multiple observers
• StatisticTrackers: Specialized trackers for different metric types

Usage Examples

Basic Import Examples

# Import common constants
from libinephany.utils.constants import LEARNING_RATE, WEIGHT_DECAY, AGENT_PREFIX_LR

# Import enums
from libinephany.utils.enums import AgentTypes, ModelFamilies, ModuleTypes

# Import utility functions
from libinephany.utils import agent_utils, optim_utils, torch_utils

# Import data models
from libinephany.pydantic_models.configs.hyperparameter_configs import HParamConfig
from libinephany.pydantic_models.schemas.response_schemas import ClientPolicySchemaResponse

Working with Agent Types

from libinephany.utils.enums import AgentTypes

# Check if an agent type is valid
agent_type = "learning_rate"
if agent_type in [agent.value for agent in AgentTypes]:
    print(f"{agent_type} is a valid agent type")

# Get agent type by index
lr_agent = AgentTypes.get_from_index(0)  # LearningRateAgent

Using Constants

from libinephany.utils.constants import AGENT_PREFIX_LR, LEARNING_RATE

# Generate agent ID
agent_id = f"{AGENT_PREFIX_LR}_agent_001"
hyperparam_type = LEARNING_RATE

Working with Pydantic Models

from libinephany.pydantic_models.configs.hyperparameter_configs import HParamConfig

# Create a hyperparameter configuration
config = HParamConfig(
    name="learning_rate",
    value=0.001,
    min_value=1e-6,
    max_value=1.0
)
