# Optimum Intel



🤗 Optimum Intel is the interface between the 🤗 Transformers and Diffusers libraries and the different tools and libraries provided by Intel to accelerate end-to-end pipelines on Intel architectures.



[Intel Extension for PyTorch](https://intel.github.io/intel-extension-for-pytorch/#introduction) is an open-source library which provides optimizations for both eager mode and graph mode, however, compared to eager mode, graph mode in PyTorch* normally yields better performance from optimization techniques, such as operation fusion.



Intel [Neural Compressor](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/tools/oneapi/neural-compressor.html) is an open-source library enabling the usage of the most popular compression techniques such as quantization, pruning and knowledge distillation. It supports automatic accuracy-driven tuning strategies in order for users to easily generate quantized model. The users can easily apply static, dynamic and aware-training quantization approaches while giving an expected accuracy criteria. It also supports different weight pruning techniques enabling the creation of pruned model giving a predefined sparsity target.



[OpenVINO](https://docs.openvino.ai) is an open-source toolkit that enables high performance inference capabilities for Intel CPUs, GPUs, and special DL inference accelerators ([see](https://docs.openvino.ai/2024/about-openvino/compatibility-and-support/supported-devices.html) the full list of supported devices). It is supplied with a set of tools to optimize your models with compression techniques such as quantization, pruning and knowledge distillation. Optimum Intel provides a simple interface to optimize your Transformers and Diffusers models, convert them to the OpenVINO Intermediate Representation (IR) format and run inference using OpenVINO Runtime.

The `--upgrade-strategy eager` option is needed to ensure `optimum-intel` is upgraded to the latest version.



We recommend creating a [virtual environment](https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/guides/installing-using-pip-and-virtual-environments/#creating-a-virtual-environment) and upgrading

pip with `python -m pip install --upgrade pip`.



Optimum Intel is a fast-moving project, and you may want to install from source with the following command:



```bash

python -m pip install git+https://github.com/huggingface/optimum-intel.git

```



or to install from source including dependencies:



```bash

python -m pip install "optimum-intel[extras]"@git+https://github.com/huggingface/optimum-intel.git

```



where `extras` can be one or more of `ipex`, `neural-compressor`, `openvino`, `nncf`.



# Quick tour



## Neural Compressor



Dynamic quantization can be used through the Optimum command-line interface:



```bash

optimum-cli inc quantize --model distilbert-base-cased-distilled-squad --output ./quantized_distilbert

```

Note that quantization is currently only supported for CPUs (only CPU backends are available), so we will not be utilizing GPUs / CUDA in this example.



To load a quantized model hosted locally or on the 🤗 hub, you can do as follows :

```python

from optimum.intel import INCModelForSequenceClassification



model_id = "Intel/distilbert-base-uncased-finetuned-sst-2-english-int8-dynamic"

model = INCModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(model_id)

```



You can load many more quantized models hosted on the hub under the Intel organization [`here`](https://huggingface.co/Intel).



For more details on the supported compression techniques, please refer to the [documentation](https://huggingface.co/docs/optimum/main/en/intel/optimization_inc).



## OpenVINO



Below are examples of how to use OpenVINO and its [NNCF](https://docs.openvino.ai/2024/openvino-workflow/model-optimization-guide/compressing-models-during-training.html) framework to accelerate inference.



#### Export:



It is also possible to export your model to the [OpenVINO IR](https://docs.openvino.ai/2024/documentation/openvino-ir-format.html) format with the CLI :



```plain

optimum-cli export openvino --model gpt2 ov_model

```



You can also apply 8-bit weight-only quantization when exporting your model : the model linear, embedding and convolution weights will be quantized to INT8, the activations will be kept in floating point precision.



```plain

optimum-cli export openvino --model gpt2 --weight-format int8 ov_model

```



Quantization in hybrid mode can be applied to Stable Diffusion pipeline during model export. This involves applying hybrid post-training quantization to the UNet model and weight-only quantization for the rest of the pipeline components. In the hybrid mode, weights in MatMul and Embedding layers are quantized, as well as activations of other layers.



```plain

optimum-cli export openvino --model stabilityai/stable-diffusion-2-1 --dataset conceptual_captions --weight-format int8 ov_model

```



To apply quantization on both weights and activations, you can find more information in the [documentation](https://huggingface.co/docs/optimum/main/en/intel/optimization_ov).



#### Inference:



To load a model and run inference with OpenVINO Runtime, you can just replace your `AutoModelForXxx` class with the corresponding `OVModelForXxx` class.



```diff

- from transformers import AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM

+ from optimum.intel import OVModelForSeq2SeqLM

  from transformers import AutoTokenizer, pipeline



  model_id = "echarlaix/t5-small-openvino"

- model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained(model_id)

+ model = OVModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained(model_id)

  tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)

  pipe = pipeline("translation_en_to_fr", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer)

  results = pipe("He never went out without a book under his arm, and he often came back with two.")



  [{'translation_text': "Il n'est jamais sorti sans un livre sous son bras, et il est souvent revenu avec deux."}]

```



If you want to load a PyTorch checkpoint, set `export=True` to convert your model to the OpenVINO IR.



```python

from optimum.intel import OVModelForCausalLM



model = OVModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("gpt2", export=True)

model.save_pretrained("./ov_model")

```



#### Post-training static quantization:



Post-training static quantization introduces an additional calibration step where data is fed through the network in order to compute the activations quantization parameters. Here is an example on how to apply static quantization on a fine-tuned DistilBERT.



```python

from functools import partial

from optimum.intel import OVQuantizer, OVModelForSequenceClassification, OVConfig, OVQuantizationConfig

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification



model_id = "distilbert-base-uncased-finetuned-sst-2-english"

model = OVModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(model_id, export=True)

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)

def preprocess_fn(examples, tokenizer):

    return tokenizer(

        examples["sentence"], padding=True, truncation=True, max_length=128

    )



quantizer = OVQuantizer.from_pretrained(model)

calibration_dataset = quantizer.get_calibration_dataset(

    "glue",

    dataset_config_name="sst2",

    preprocess_function=partial(preprocess_fn, tokenizer=tokenizer),

    num_samples=100,

    dataset_split="train",

    preprocess_batch=True,

)

# The directory where the quantized model will be saved

save_dir = "nncf_results"

# Apply static quantization and save the resulting model in the OpenVINO IR format

ov_config = OVConfig(quantization_config=OVQuantizationConfig())

quantizer.quantize(ov_config=ov_config, calibration_dataset=calibration_dataset, save_directory=save_dir)

# Load the quantized model

optimized_model = OVModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(save_dir)

```



## IPEX

To load your IPEX model, you can just replace your `AutoModelForXxx` class with the corresponding `IPEXModelForXxx` class. You can set `export=True` to load a PyTorch checkpoint, export your model via TorchScript and apply IPEX optimizations : both operators optimization (replaced with customized IPEX operators) and graph-level optimization (like operators fusion) will be applied on your model.

```diff

  from transformers import AutoTokenizer, pipeline

- from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM

+ from optimum.intel import IPEXModelForCausalLM



  model_id = "gpt2"

- model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16)

+ model = IPEXModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id, torch_dtype=torch.bfloat16, export=True)

  tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)

  pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer)

  results = pipe("He's a dreadful magician and")

```
