Installation

From PyPI (once published)

pip install nthuku-fast

From source

git clone https://github.com/elijahnzeli1/Nthuku-fast_v2.git
cd Nthuku-fast_v2/nthuku-fast-package
pip install -e .

Local installation (development)

cd nthuku-fast-package
pip install -e .

Quick Start

from nthuku_fast import create_nthuku_fast_model
import torch

# Create model (all optimizations enabled by default)
model = create_nthuku_fast_model(
    hidden_dim=512,
    num_experts=8,
    top_k_experts=2
)

# Or use presets for different sizes
model = create_nthuku_fast_model(preset="150M")  # 150M parameters

# Generate text from image
pixel_values = torch.randn(1, 3, 224, 224)
text = model.generate_text(
    pixel_values,
    max_length=100,
    use_cache=True,      # Enable prompt caching
    show_thinking=False  # Show reasoning traces
)

Model Presets

# 50M parameters (default)
model = create_nthuku_fast_model(preset="50M")

# 150M parameters (recommended)
model = create_nthuku_fast_model(preset="150M")

# 500M parameters (high capacity)
model = create_nthuku_fast_model(preset="500M")

# 1B parameters (maximum)
model = create_nthuku_fast_model(preset="1B")

Advanced Features

Prompt Caching

# Get cache statistics
stats = model.get_cache_stats()
print(f"Cache hit rate: {stats['hit_rate']:.2%}")

Speculative Decoding

from nthuku_fast import SpeculativeDecoder

spec_decoder = SpeculativeDecoder(model, num_speculative_tokens=4)
generated, stats = spec_decoder.generate(
    input_ids, vision_features,
    max_new_tokens=100,
    show_stats=True
)

Thinking Traces

# Enable visible reasoning
text = model.generate_text(
    pixel_values,
    show_thinking=True  # Shows step-by-step reasoning
)

Training

from nthuku_fast import train_nthuku_fast, MultiDatasetManager

# Load datasets
dataset_manager = MultiDatasetManager()
data_sources = dataset_manager.load_all_datasets()

# Train
results = train_nthuku_fast(
    model=model,
    data_sources=data_sources,
    batch_size=8,
    num_epochs=10,
    learning_rate=2e-4
)

Performance

Combined: 5-7x faster, 81% cheaper!

Requirements

• Python ≥ 3.8
• PyTorch ≥ 2.0.0 (for Flash Attention)
• transformers ≥ 4.30.0
• Other dependencies (auto-installed)
