Introduction

🔥 unitorch is a library that simplifies and accelerates the development of unified models for natural language understanding, natural language generation, computer vision, click-through rate prediction, multimodal learning and reinforcement learning. It is built on top of PyTorch and integrates seamlessly with popular frameworks such as transformers, peft, diffusers, and fastseq. With unitorch, you can use a single command line tool or a one-line code import unitorch import to leverage the state-of-the-art models and datasets without sacrificing performance or accuracy.
