README
Equinox
Equinox is your one-stop [JAX](https://github.com/google/jax) library, for everything you need that isn't already in core JAX:
- neural networks (or more generally any model), with easy-to-use PyTorch-like syntax;
- filtered APIs for transformations;
- useful PyTree manipulation routines;
- advanced features like runtime errors;
and best of all, Equinox isn't a framework: everything you write in Equinox is compatible with anything else in JAX or the ecosystem.
If you're completely new to JAX, then start with this [CNN on MNIST example](https://docs.kidger.site/equinox/examples/mnist/).
_Coming from [Flax](https://github.com/google/flax) or [Haiku](https://github.com/deepmind/haiku)? The main difference is that Equinox (a) offers a lot of advanced features not found in these libraries, like PyTree manipulation or runtime errors; (b) has a simpler way of building models: they're just PyTrees, so they can pass across JIT/grad/etc. boundaries smoothly._
## Installation
```bash
pip install equinox
```
Requires Python 3.9+ and JAX 0.4.13+.
## Documentation
Available at [https://docs.kidger.site/equinox](https://docs.kidger.site/equinox).
## Quick example
Models are defined using PyTorch-like syntax:
```python
import equinox as eqx
import jax
class Linear(eqx.Module):
weight: jax.Array
bias: jax.Array
def __init__(self, in_size, out_size, key):
wkey, bkey = jax.random.split(key)
self.weight = jax.random.normal(wkey, (out_size, in_size))
self.bias = jax.random.normal(bkey, (out_size,))
def __call__(self, x):
return self.weight @ x + self.bias
```
and are fully compatible with normal JAX operations:
```python
@jax.jit
@jax.grad
def loss_fn(model, x, y):
pred_y = jax.vmap(model)(x)
return jax.numpy.mean((y - pred_y) ** 2)
batch_size, in_size, out_size = 32, 2, 3
model = Linear(in_size, out_size, key=jax.random.PRNGKey(0))
x = jax.numpy.zeros((batch_size, in_size))
y = jax.numpy.zeros((batch_size, out_size))
grads = loss_fn(model, x, y)
```
Finally, there's no magic behind the scenes. All `eqx.Module` does is register your class as a PyTree. From that point onwards, JAX already knows how to work with PyTrees.
