# Adam

[Adam (Adaptive moment estimation)](https://hf.co/papers/1412.6980) is an adaptive learning rate optimizer, combining ideas from `SGD` with momentum and `RMSprop` to automatically scale the learning rate:

- a weighted average of the past gradients to provide direction (first-moment)
- a weighted average of the *squared* past gradients to adapt the learning rate to each parameter (second-moment)

bitsandbytes also supports paged optimizers which take advantage of CUDAs unified memory to transfer memory from the GPU to the CPU when GPU memory is exhausted.

## Adam[[api-class]][[bitsandbytes.optim.Adam]]

- **params** (`torch.tensor`) --
  The input parameters to optimize.
- **lr** (`float`, defaults to 1e-3) --
  The learning rate.
- **betas** (`tuple(float, float)`, defaults to (0.9, 0.999)) --
  The beta values are the decay rates of the first and second-order moment of the optimizer.
- **eps** (`float`, defaults to 1e-8) --
  The epsilon value prevents division by zero in the optimizer.
- **weight_decay** (`float`, defaults to 0.0) --
  The weight decay value for the optimizer.
- **amsgrad** (`bool`, defaults to `False`) --
  Whether to use the [AMSGrad](https://hf.co/papers/1904.09237) variant of Adam that uses the maximum of past squared gradients instead.
- **optim_bits** (`int`, defaults to 32) --
  The number of bits of the optimizer state.
- **args** (`object`, defaults to `None`) --
  An object with additional arguments.
- **min_8bit_size** (`int`, defaults to 4096) --
  The minimum number of elements of the parameter tensors for 8-bit optimization.
- **is_paged** (`bool`, defaults to `False`) --
  Whether the optimizer is a paged optimizer or not.
