Unified AI

Ivy is an open-source machine learning framework that enables you to:

🔥 Autotune your model: Automatically find the optimal framework, compiler infrastructure and hardware for your specific use case using ivy.autotune.
🔄 Convert code into any framework: Use and build on top of any model, library, or device by converting any code from one framework to another using ivy.transpile.
⚒️ Write framework-agnostic code: Write your code once in ivy and then choose the most appropriate ML framework as the backend to leverage all the benefits and tools.

Join our growing community 🌍 to connect with people using Ivy. Let's unify.ai together 🦾

Getting started

The best way to get familiar with Ivy is to go through the Demos, a good starting point is Learn The Basics.

The most important notebooks are:

How to convert your code between frameworks?
How to write framework-agnostic code?
Accelerate your development (WIP)
Autotune and optimize models (WIP)

Installing ivy

There are various ways to use Ivy, depending on your preferred environment:

Installing using pip

The easiest way to set up Ivy is to install it using pip with the following command:

pip install ivy

or alternatively:

python3 -m pip install ivy

Docker

If you prefer to use containers, we also have pre-built Docker images with all the supported frameworks and some relevant packages already installed, which you can pull from:

docker pull unifyai/ivy:latest

If you are working on a GPU device, you can pull from:

docker pull unifyai/ivy:latest-gpu

From Source

You can also install Ivy from source if you want to take advantage of the latest changes, but we can't ensure everything will work as expected. 😅

git clone https://github.com/unifyai/ivy.git
cd ivy
pip install --user -e .

or alternatively, for the last step:

python3 -m pip install --user -e .

If you want to set up testing and various frameworks it's probably best to check out the [Contributing - Setting Up](https://unify.ai/docs/ivy/overview/contributing/setting_up. html#setting-up) page, where OS-specific and IDE-specific instructions and video tutorials to do so are available!

Using Ivy

After installing Ivy, you can start using it straight away, for example:

Transpiling any code from one framework to another

import ivy
import torch
import jax

def jax_fn(x):
    a = jax.numpy.dot(x, x)
    b = jax.numpy.mean(x)
    return x * a + b

jax_x = jax.numpy.array([1, 2, 3])
torch_x = torch.tensor([1, 2, 3])
torch_fn = ivy.transpile(jax_fn, source="jax", to="torch", args=(jax_x,))
ret = torch_fn(torch_x)

Running your code with any backend

 import ivy
 import torch
 import jax

 ivy.set_backend("jax")

 x = jax.numpy.array([1, 2, 3])
 y = jax.numpy.array([3, 2, 1])
 z = ivy.add(x, y)

 ivy.set_backend('torch')

 x = torch.tensor([1, 2, 3])
 y = torch.tensor([3, 2, 1])
 z = ivy.add(x, y)

Documentation

You can find Ivy's documentation on the Docs page, which includes:

Motivation: This contextualizes the problem Ivy is trying to solve by going over
- The current ML Explosion.
- Explaining why it is important to solve this problem.
- Explaining how we adhere to existing standards to make this happen.
Related Work: Which paints a picture of the role Ivy plays in the ML stack, comparing it to other existing solutions in terms of functionalities and abstraction level.
Design: A user-focused guide about the design decision behind the architecture and the main building blocks of Ivy.
Deep Dive: Which delves deeper into the implementation details of Ivy and is oriented towards potential contributors to the code base.

Examples

The Examples page features a wide range of demos and tutorials showcasing the functionalities of Ivy along with multiple use cases, but feel free to check out some shorter framework-specific examples here ⬇️

            # Since the padding is "SAME", this would be image_height x image_width x output_channels
            ivy.Linear(self.h_w[0] * self.h_w[1] * self.output_channels, 512),
            ivy.GELU(),
            ivy.Linear(512, self.num_classes),
        )

    def _forward(self, x):
        x = self.extractor(x)
        # flatten all dims except batch dim
        x = ivy.flatten(x, start_dim=1, end_dim=-1)
        logits = self.classifier(x)
        probs = ivy.softmax(logits)
        return logits, probs

After building your model in Ivy, you can set your favourite framework as the backend to use its operations under the hood!

ivy.set_backend("torch")
model = IvyNet()
x = torch.randn(1, 3, 32, 32)
logits, probs = model(x)

ivy.set_backend("tensorflow")
model = IvyNet()
x = tf.random.uniform(shape=(1, 3, 32, 32))
logits, probs = model(x)

ivy.set_backend("jax")
model = IvyNet()
x = jax.random.uniform(key, shape=(1, 3, 32, 32))
logits, probs = model(x)

ivy.set_backend("numpy")
model = IvyNet()
x = np.random.uniform(size=(1, 3, 32, 32))
logits, probs = model(x)

Last but not least, we can also build the training pipeline in pure ivy ⬇️

Let's define some helper functions first

# helper function for loading the dataset in batches
def generate_batches(images, classes, dataset_size, batch_size=32):
    targets = {k: v for v, k in enumerate(np.unique(classes))}
    y_train = [targets[classes[i]] for i in range(len(classes))]
    if batch_size > dataset_size:
        raise ivy.utils.exceptions.IvyError("Use a smaller batch size")
    for idx in range(0, dataset_size, batch_size):
        yield ivy.stack(images[idx : min(idx + batch_size, dataset_size)]), ivy.array(
            y_train[idx : min(idx + batch_size, dataset_size)]
        )


# helper function to get the number of current predictions
def num_correct(preds, labels):
    return (preds.argmax() == labels).sum().to_numpy().item()


# define a loss function
def loss_fn(params):
    v, model, x, y = params
    y_pred, probs = model(x)
    return ivy.cross_entropy(y, probs), probs

And train this model!

# train the model on gpu if it's available
device = "cuda:0" if ivy.gpu_is_available() else "cpu"

# training hyperparams
optimizer= ivy.Adam(1e-4)
batch_size = 64
num_epochs = 20
num_classes = 10

model = IvyNet(
    h_w=(28, 28),
    input_channels=1,
    output_channels=120,
    num_classes=num_classes,
    device=device,
)
model_name = type(model).__name__.lower()


# training loop
def train(images, classes, epochs, model, device, num_classes=10, batch_size=32):
    # training metrics
    epoch_loss = 0.0
    running_loss = 0.0
    fields = ["epoch", "epoch_loss", "training_accuracy"]
    metrics = []
    dataset_size = len(images)

    for epoch in range(epochs):
        train_loss, train_correct = 0, 0
        train_loop = tqdm(
            generate_batches(images, classes, len(images), batch_size=batch_size),
            total=dataset_size // batch_size,
            position=0,
            leave=True,
        )

        for xbatch, ybatch in train_loop:
            if device != "cpu":
                xbatch, ybatch = xbatch.to_device("gpu:0"), ybatch.to_device("gpu:0")

            # Since the cross entropy function expects the target classes to be in one-hot encoded format
            ybatch_encoded = ivy.one_hot(ybatch, num_classes)

            # update model params
            loss_probs, grads = ivy.execute_with_gradients(
                loss_fn,
                (model.v, model, xbatch, ybatch_encoded),
            )

            model.v = optimizer.step(model.v, grads["0"])

            batch_loss = ivy.to_numpy(loss_probs[0]).mean().item()  # batch mean loss
            epoch_loss += batch_loss * xbatch.shape[0]
            train_correct += num_correct(loss_probs[1], ybatch)

            train_loop.set_description(f"Epoch [{epoch + 1:2d}/{epochs}]")
            train_loop.set_postfix(
                running_loss=batch_loss,
                accuracy_percentage=(train_correct / dataset_size) * 100,
            )

        epoch_loss = epoch_loss / dataset_size
        training_accuracy = train_correct / dataset_size

        metrics.append([epoch, epoch_loss, training_accuracy])

        train_loop.write(
            f"\nAverage training loss: {epoch_loss:.6f}, Train Correct: {train_correct}",
            end="\n",
        )

    # write metrics for plotting
    with open(f"/{model_name}_train_summary.csv", "w") as f:
        f = csv.writer(f)
        f.writerow(fields)
        f.writerows(metrics)


# assuming the dataset(images and classes) are already prepared in a folder
train(images, classes, num_epochs, model, device, num_classes = num_classes, batch_size = batch_size)

Diving deeper

Although the Docs are the best place to learn more, in the next section we will take a look at how Ivy works both as a transpiler and a framework in a bit more detail to get an idea of why and where to use it.

Ivy as a transpiler

Ivy's transpiler allows you to use code from any other framework (or from any other version of the same framework!) in your own code, by just adding one line of code. Under the hood, Ivy traces a computational graph and leverages the frontends and backends to link one framework to another.

This way, Ivy makes all ML-related projects available for you, independently of the framework you want to use to research, develop, or deploy systems. Feel free to head over to the docs for the full API reference, but the functions you'd most likely want to use are:

# Traces an efficient fully-functional graph from a function, removing all wrapping and redundant code
ivy.trace_graph()

# Converts framework-specific code to a different framework
ivy.transpile()

# Converts framework-specific code to Ivy
ivy.unify()

These functions can be used eagerly or lazily. If you pass the necessary arguments for function tracing, the graph tracing/transpilation step will happen instantly (eagerly). Otherwise, the graph tracing/transpilation will happen only when the returned function is first invoked.

import ivy
import jax
ivy.set_backend("jax")

# Simple JAX function to transpile
def test_fn(x):
    return jax.numpy.sum(x)

x1 = ivy.array([1., 2.])

# Arguments are available -> transpilation happens eagerly
eager_graph = ivy.transpile(test_fn, source="jax", to="torch", args=(x1,))

# eager_graph is now torch code and runs efficiently
ret = eager_graph(x1)

# Arguments are not available -> transpilation happens lazily
lazy_graph = ivy.transpile(test_fn, source="jax", to="torch")

# The transpiled graph is initialized, transpilation will happen here
ret = lazy_graph(x1)

# lazy_graph is now torch code and runs efficiently
ret = lazy_graph(x1)

If you want to learn more, you can find more information in the Ivy as a transpiler section of the docs!

When should I use Ivy as a transpiler?

If you want to use building blocks published in other frameworks (neural networks, layers, array computing libraries, training pipelines...), you want to integrate code developed in various frameworks, or maybe straight up move code from one framework to another, the transpiler is definitely the tool 🔧 for the job! As the output of transpilation is native code in the target framework, you can use the converted code just as if it was code originally developed in that framework, applying framework-specific optimizations or tools, instantly exposing your project to all of the unique perks of a different framework.

Ivy as a framework

The Ivy framework is built on top of various essential components, mainly the Backend Handler, which manages what framework is being used behind the scenes and the Backend Functional APIs, which provide framework-specific implementations of the Ivy functions. Likewise, classes such as ivy.Container or ivy.Array are also available, facilitating the use of structured data and array-like objects (learn more about them here!).

All of the functionalities in Ivy are exposed through the Ivy functional API and the Ivy stateful API. All functions in the Functional API are Framework Agnostic Functions, which means that we can use them like this:

import ivy
import jax.numpy as jnp
import tensorflow as tf
import numpy as np
import torch

def mse_loss(y, target):
    return ivy.mean((y - target)**2)

jax_mse   = mse_loss(jnp.ones((5,)), jnp.ones((5,)))
tf_mse    = mse_loss(tf.ones((5,)), tf.ones((5,)))
np_mse    = mse_loss(np.ones((5,)), np.ones((5,)))
torch_mse = mse_loss(torch.ones((5,)), torch.ones((5,)))

In the example above we show how Ivy's functions are compatible with tensors from different frameworks. This is the same for ALL Ivy functions. They can accept tensors from any framework and return the correct result.

The Ivy Stateful API, on the other hand, allows you to define trainable modules and layers, which you can use alone or as a part of any other framework code!

import ivy


class Regressor(ivy.Module):
    def __init__(self, input_dim, output_dim):
        self.input_dim = input_dim
        self.output_dim = output_dim
        super().__init__()

    def _build(self, *args, **kwargs):
        self.linear0 = ivy.Linear(self.input_dim, 128)
        self.linear1 = ivy.Linear(128, self.output_dim)

    def _forward(self, x):
        x = self.linear0(x)
        x = ivy.functional.relu(x)
        x = self.linear1(x)
        return x

If we put it all together, we'll have something like this. This example uses PyTorch as the backend, but this can easily be changed to your favorite frameworks, such as TensorFlow, or JAX.

import ivy


class Regressor(ivy.Module):
    def __init__(self, input_dim, output_dim):
        self.input_dim = input_dim
        self.output_dim = output_dim
        super().__init__()

    def _build(self, *args, **kwargs):
        self.linear0 = ivy.Linear(self.input_dim, 128)
        self.linear1 = ivy.Linear(128, self.output_dim)

    def _forward(self, x):
        x = self.linear0(x)
        x = ivy.functional.relu(x)
        x = self.linear1(x)
        return x

ivy.set_backend('torch')  # set backend to PyTorch (or any other backend!)

model = Regressor(input_dim=1, output_dim=1)
optimizer = ivy.Adam(0.3)

n_training_examples = 2000
noise = ivy.random.random_normal(shape=(n_training_examples, 1), mean=0, std=0.1)
x = ivy.linspace(-6, 3, n_training_examples).reshape((n_training_examples, 1))
y = 0.2 * x ** 2 + 0.5 * x + 0.1 + noise


def loss_fn(v, x, target):
    pred = model(x, v=v)
    return ivy.mean((pred - target) ** 2)

for epoch in range(40):
    # forward pass
    pred = model(x)

    # compute loss and gradients
    loss, grads = ivy.execute_with_gradients(lambda params: loss_fn(*params), (model.v, x, y))

    # update parameters
    model.v = optimizer.step(model.v, grads)

    # print current loss
    print(f'Epoch: {epoch + 1:2d} --- Loss: {ivy.to_numpy(loss).item():.5f}')

print('Finished training!')

The model's output can be visualized as follows:

As always, you can find more information about Ivy as a framework in the docs!

When should I use Ivy as a framework?

As Ivy supports multiple backends, writing code in Ivy breaks you free from framework limitations. If you want to publish highly flexible code for everyone to use, independently of the framework they are using, or you plan to develop ML-related tools and want them to be interoperable with not only the already existing frameworks, but also with future frameworks, then Ivy is for you!
