Intel® Neural CompressorAn open-source Python library supporting popular model compression techniques on all mainstream deep learning frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, ONNX Runtime, and MXNet)Architecture|Workflow|Results|Examples|DocumentationsIntel® Neural Compressor aims to provide popular model compression techniques such as quantization, pruning (sparsity), distillation, and neural architecture search on mainstream frameworks such asTensorFlow,PyTorch,ONNX Runtime, andMXNet,
as well as Intel extensions such asIntel Extension for TensorFlowandIntel Extension for PyTorch.
In particular, the tool provides the key features, typical examples, and open collaborations as below:Support a wide range of Intel hardware such asIntel Xeon Scalable Processors,Intel Xeon CPU Max Series,Intel Data Center GPU Flex Series, andIntel Data Center GPU Max Serieswith extensive testing; support AMD CPU, ARM CPU, and NVidia GPU through ONNX Runtime with limited testingValidate popular LLMs such asLLama2,Falcon,GPT-J,Bloom,OPT, and more than 10,000 broad models such asStable Diffusion,BERT-Large, andResNet50from popular model hubs such asHugging Face,Torch Vision, andONNX Model Zoo, by leveraging zero-code optimization solutionNeural Coderand automaticaccuracy-drivenquantization strategiesCollaborate with cloud marketplaces such asGoogle Cloud Platform,Amazon Web Services, andAzure, software platforms such asAlibaba Cloud,Tencent TACOandMicrosoft Olive, and open AI ecosystem such asHugging Face,PyTorch,ONNX,ONNX Runtime, andLightning AIInstallationInstall from pypipipinstallneural-compressorNote:
