Minimal install (library only)

pip install neuralops

This installs only the core library without torch. You must install torch separately depending on your backend.

Verify your installation:

python -c "import neuralops; print(neuralops.__version__)"
python -m neuralops.benchmarks verify

Quick Start

Recipe 1: 3-Line Attention Surgery

Replace quadratic attention in HuggingFace models with subquadratic SVD Linear Attention:

import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForSequenceClassification
from neuralops.utils.replace_attention import replace_attention

model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained("distilbert-base-uncased")
model = replace_attention(model, "svd_linear_attention", svd_rank=128)

inputs = torch.randint(0, 1000, (2, 64))
outputs = model(inputs)
print("Logits shape:", outputs.logits.shape)

⚡ Triton

Fused Triton Kernels (19)

NeuralOps implements 21 custom Triton kernels with automatic fallback:

  • Sliding Window Attention (sliding_window.py)
  • Paged Attention & KV Cache (paged_attention.py)
  • Flash-Decoding Split-KV (linear_attn.py)
  • Fused RoPE & Rotary Embeddings (varlen_attention.py)
  • State Space & Selective Scan (selective_scan.py, state_update.py)

All kernels automatically fall back to native PyTorch ops when running on non-CUDA hardware or CPU.

# Run a benchmark sweep
python -m neuralops.benchmarks run --module svd_linear_attention --model distilbert-base-uncased --dataset sst2

FAQ

Q: Does NeuralOps require an NVIDIA GPU?
A: No. PyTorch CPU fallbacks ensure 100% of the attention mechanisms and compression engines run seamlessly on macOS (including Apple Silicon MPS) and CPU-only environments.

Q: Are deprecated module names supported?
A: Yes. All 657 legacy aliases map automatically to their canonical implementations and emit informative deprecation warnings.
