Optimum Library is an extension of the Hugging Face Transformers library, providing a framework to integrate third-party libraries from Hardware Partners and interface with their specific functionality.

Project description

Optimum Intel

🤗 Optimum Intel is the interface between the 🤗 Transformers and Diffusers libraries and the different tools and libraries provided by Intel to accelerate end-to-end pipelines on Intel architectures.

Intel Extension for PyTorch is an open-source library which provides optimizations for both eager mode and graph mode, however, compared to eager mode, graph mode in PyTorch* normally yields better performance from optimization techniques, such as operation fusion.

Intel Neural Compressor is an open-source library enabling the usage of the most popular compression techniques such as quantization, pruning and knowledge distillation. It supports automatic accuracy-driven tuning strategies in order for users to easily generate quantized model. The users can easily apply static, dynamic and aware-training quantization approaches while giving an expected accuracy criteria. It also supports different weight pruning techniques enabling the creation of pruned model giving a predefined sparsity target.

OpenVINO is an open-source toolkit that enables high performance inference capabilities for Intel CPUs, GPUs, and special DL inference accelerators (see the full list of supported devices). It is supplied with a set of tools to optimize your models with compression techniques such as quantization, pruning and knowledge distillation. Optimum Intel provides a simple interface to optimize your Transformers and Diffusers models, convert them to the OpenVINO Intermediate Representation (IR) format and run inference using OpenVINO Runtime.

Installation

To install the latest release of 🤗 Optimum Intel with the corresponding required dependencies, you can use pip as follows:

Accelerator Installation
Intel Neural Compressor pip install --upgrade-strategy eager "optimum[neural-compressor]"
OpenVINO pip install --upgrade-strategy eager "optimum[openvino,nncf]"
Intel Extension for PyTorch pip install --upgrade-strategy eager "optimum[ipex]"

The --upgrade-strategy eager option is needed to ensure optimum-intel is upgraded to the latest version.

We recommend creating a virtual environment and upgrading pip with python -m pip install --upgrade pip.

Optimum Intel is a fast-moving project, and you may want to install from source with the following command:

python -m pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/optimum-intel.git

or to install from source including dependencies:

python -m pip install "optimum-intel[extras]"@git+https://github.com/huggingface/optimum-intel.git

where extras can be one or more of ipex, neural-compressor, openvino, nncf.

Quick tour

Neural Compressor

Dynamic quantization can be used through the Optimum command-line interface:

optimum-cli inc quantize --model distilbert-base-cased-distilled-squad --output ./quantized_distilbert

Note that quantization is currently only supported for CPUs (only CPU backends are available), so we will not be utilizing GPUs / CUDA in this example.

To load a quantized model hosted locally or on the 🤗 hub, you can do as follows :

from optimum.intel import INCModelForSequenceClassification

model_id = "Intel/distilbert-base-uncased-finetuned-sst-2-english-int8-dynamic"
model = INCModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(model_id)

You can load many more quantized models hosted on the hub under the Intel organization here.

For more details on the supported compression techniques, please refer to the documentation.

OpenVINO

Below are the examples of how to use OpenVINO and its NNCF framework to accelerate inference.

Export:

It is possible to export your model to the OpenVINO IR format with the CLI :

optimum-cli export openvino --model gpt2 ov_model

You can also apply 8-bit weight-only quantization when exporting your model : the model linear and embedding weights will be quantized to INT8, the activations will be kept in floating point precision.

optimum-cli export openvino --model gpt2 --weight-format int8 ov_model

To apply quantization on both weights and activations, you can find more information in the documentation.

Inference:

To load a model and run inference with OpenVINO Runtime, you can just replace your AutoModelForXxx class with the corresponding OVModelForXxx class.

- from transformers import AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM
+ from optimum.intel import OVModelForSeq2SeqLM
  from transformers import AutoTokenizer, pipeline

  model_id = "echarlaix/t5-small-openvino"
- model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained(model_id)
+ model = OVModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained(model_id)
  tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
  pipe = pipeline("translation_en_to_fr", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer)
  results = pipe("He never went out without a book under his arm, and he often came back with two.")

  [{'translation_text': "Il n'est jamais sorti sans un livre sous son bras, et il est souvent revenu avec deux."}]

If you want to load a PyTorch checkpoint, set export=True to convert your model to the OpenVINO IR.

from optimum.intel import OVModelForCausalLM

model = OVModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("gpt2", export=True)
model.save_pretrained("./ov_model")

Post-training static quantization:

Post-training static quantization introduces an additional calibration step where data is fed through the network in order to compute the activations quantization parameters. Here is an example on how to apply static quantization on a fine-tuned DistilBERT.

from functools import partial
from optimum.intel import OVQuantizer, OVModelForSequenceClassification
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification

model_id = "distilbert-base-uncased-finetuned-sst-2-english"
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(model_id)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
def preprocess_fn(examples, tokenizer):
    return tokenizer(
        examples["sentence"], padding=True, truncation=True, max_length=128
    )

quantizer = OVQuantizer.from_pretrained(model)
calibration_dataset = quantizer.get_calibration_dataset(
    "glue",
    dataset_config_name="sst2",
    preprocess_function=partial(preprocess_fn, tokenizer=tokenizer),
    num_samples=100,
    dataset_split="train",
    preprocess_batch=True,
)
# The directory where the quantized model will be saved
save_dir = "nncf_results"
# Apply static quantization and save the resulting model in the OpenVINO IR format
quantizer.quantize(calibration_dataset=calibration_dataset, save_directory=save_dir)
# Load the quantized model
optimized_model = OVModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(save_dir)

Quantization-aware training:

Quantization aware training (QAT) is applied in order to simulate the effects of quantization during training, to alleviate its effects on the model’s accuracy. Here is an example on how to fine-tune a DistilBERT model on the sst-2 task while applying quantization aware training (QAT).

  import evaluate
  import numpy as np
  from datasets import load_dataset
  from transformers import AutoModelForSequenceClassification, AutoTokenizer, TrainingArguments, default_data_collator
- from transformers import Trainer
+ from optimum.intel import OVConfig, OVModelForSequenceClassification, OVTrainer

  model_id = "distilbert-base-uncased-finetuned-sst-2-english"
  model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(model_id)
  tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
  dataset = load_dataset("glue", "sst2")
  dataset = dataset.map(
      lambda examples: tokenizer(examples["sentence"], padding=True, truncation=True, max_length=128), batched=True
  )
  metric = evaluate.load("glue", "sst2")
  compute_metrics = lambda p: metric.compute(
      predictions=np.argmax(p.predictions, axis=1), references=p.label_ids
  )

  # The directory where the quantized model will be saved
  save_dir = "nncf_results"

  # Load the default quantization configuration detailing the quantization we wish to apply
+ ov_config = OVConfig()

- trainer = Trainer(
+ trainer = OVTrainer(
      model=model,
      args=TrainingArguments(save_dir, num_train_epochs=1.0, do_train=True, do_eval=True),
      train_dataset=dataset["train"].select(range(300)),
      eval_dataset=dataset["validation"],
      compute_metrics=compute_metrics,
      tokenizer=tokenizer,
      data_collator=default_data_collator,
+     ov_config=ov_config,
+     task="text-classification",
  )
  train_result = trainer.train()
  metrics = trainer.evaluate()
  trainer.save_model()

+ optimized_model = OVModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(save_dir)
