block-recurrent-transformer-pytorch's Introduction

Block Recurrent Transformer - Pytorch

Implementation of Block Recurrent Transformer - Pytorch. The highlight of the paper is its reported ability to remember something up to 60k tokens ago.

This design is SOTA for recurrent transformers line of research, afaict.

It will also include flash attention as well as routed memories of up to 250k tokens using ideas from this paper

Appreciation

Stability.ai for the generous sponsorship to work and open source cutting edge artificial intelligence research

Install

$ pip install block-recurrent-transformer-pytorch

Usage

import torch
from block_recurrent_transformer_pytorch import BlockRecurrentTransformer

model = BlockRecurrentTransformer(
    num_tokens = 20000,             # vocab size
    dim = 512,                      # model dimensions
    depth = 6,                      # depth
    dim_head = 64,                  # attention head dimensions
    heads = 8,                      # number of attention heads
    max_seq_len = 1024,             # the total receptive field of the transformer, in the paper this was 2 * block size
    block_width = 512,              # block size - total receptive field is max_seq_len, 2 * block size in paper. the block furthest forwards becomes the new cached xl memories, which is a block size of 1 (please open an issue if i am wrong)
    num_state_vectors = 512,        # number of state vectors, i believe this was a single block size in the paper, but can be any amount
    recurrent_layers = (4,),        # where to place the recurrent layer(s) for states with fixed simple gating
    use_compressed_mem = False,     # whether to use compressed memories of a single block width, from https://arxiv.org/abs/1911.05507
    compressed_mem_factor = 4,      # compression factor of compressed memories
    use_flash_attn = True           # use flash attention, if on pytorch 2.0
)

seq = torch.randint(0, 2000, (1, 1024))

out, mems1, states1 = model(seq)
out, mems2, states2 = model(seq, xl_memories = mems1, states = states1)
out, mems3, states3 = model(seq, xl_memories = mems2, states = states2)
