NABLA

Nabla is a Python library that provides three key features:

• Multidimensional Array computation (like NumPy) with strong GPU acceleration
• Composable Function Transformations: vmap, grad, jit, and more
• Deep integration with (custom) Mojo kernels

Installation

📦 Now available on PyPI!

pip install nabla-ml

Note: Nabla also includes an experimental pure Mojo API for native Mojo development.

Quick Start

import nabla as nb

# Example function using Nabla's array operations
def foo(input):
    return nb.sum(input * input, axes=0)

# Vectorize, differentiate, accelerate
foo_grads = nb.jit(nb.vmap(nb.grad(foo)))
gradients = foo_grads(nb.randn((10, 5)))

Development Setup

For contributors and advanced users:

# Clone and install in development mode
git clone https://github.com/nabla-ml/nb.git
cd nabla
pip install -e ".[dev]"

# Run tests
pytest

# Format and lint code
ruff format nabla/
ruff check nabla/ --fix
