 **Liger Kernel** is a collection of Triton kernels designed specifically for LLM training. It can effectively increase multi-GPU **training throughput by 20%** and reduces **memory usage by 60%**. We have implemented **Hugging Face Compatible** `RMSNorm`, `RoPE`, `SwiGLU`, `CrossEntropy`, `FusedLinearCrossEntropy`, and more to come. The kernel works out of the box with [Flash Attention](https://github.com/Dao-AILab/flash-attention), [PyTorch FSDP](https://pytorch.org/tutorials/intermediate/FSDP_tutorial.html), and [Microsoft DeepSpeed](https://github.com/microsoft/DeepSpeed). We welcome contributions from the community to gather the best kernels for LLM training.
 
+We've also added optimized Post-Training kernels that deliver **up to 80% memory savings** for alignment and distillation tasks. We support losses like DPO, CPO, ORPO, SimPO, JSD, and many more.

-- **RMSNorm**: [RMSNorm](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1910.07467), which normalizes activations using their root mean square, is implemented by fusing the normalization and scaling steps into a single Triton kernel, and achieves ~3X speedup with ~3X peak memory reduction.
-- **LayerNorm**: [LayerNorm](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1607.06450), which centers and normalizes activations across the feature dimension, is implemented by fusing the centering, normalization and scaling steps into a single Triton kernel, and achieves ~2X speedup.
-- **GroupNorm**: [GroupNorm](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1803.08494), which normalizes activations across the group dimension for a given sample. Channels are grouped in K groups over which the normalization is performed, is implemented by fusing the centering, normalization and scaling steps into a single Triton kernel, and can achieve up to ~2X speedup as the number of channels/groups increases.
-- **RoPE**: [Rotary Positional Embedding](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2104.09864) is implemented by fusing the query and key embedding rotary into a single kernel with inplace replacement, and achieves ~3X speedup with ~3X peak memory reduction.
-- **SwiGLU**: [Swish Gated Linear Units](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2002.05202), given by
-$$\text{SwiGLU}(x)=\text{Swish}_{\beta}(xW+b)\otimes(xV+c)$$
-, is implemented by fusing the elementwise multiplication (denoted by $\otimes$) into a single kernel with inplace replacement, and achieves parity speed with ~1.5X peak memory reduction.
-- **GeGLU**: [GELU Gated Linear Units](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2002.05202), given by
-$$\text{GeGLU}(x)=\text{GELU}(xW+b)\otimes(xV+c)$$
-, is implemented by fusing the elementwise multiplication into a single kernel with inplace replacement, and achieves parity speed with ~1.5X peak memory reduction. Note that the [tanh approximation form of GELU](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/generated/torch.nn.GELU.html) is used.
-- **CrossEntropy**: [Cross entropy loss](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/generated/torch.nn.CrossEntropyLoss.html) is implemented by computing both the loss and gradient in the forward pass with inplace replacement of input to reduce the peak memory by avoiding simultaneous materialization of both input logits and gradient. It achieves >2X speedup and >4X memory reduction for common vocab sizes (e.g., 32K, 128K, etc.).
-<!-- TODO: verify vocab sizes are accurate  -->
-- **FusedLinearCrossEntropy**: Peak memory usage of cross entropy loss is further improved by fusing the model head with the CE loss and chunking the input for block-wise loss and gradient calculation, a technique inspired by [Efficient Cross Entropy](https://github.com/mgmalek/efficient_cross_entropy). It achieves >4X memory reduction for 128k vocab size. **This is highly effective for large batch size, large sequence length, and large vocabulary sizes.** Please refer to the [Medusa example](https://github.com/linkedin/Liger-Kernel/tree/main/examples/medusa) for individual kernel usage.
-- **KLDivergence**: [KL Divergence](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/generated/torch.nn.KLDivLoss.html) is implemented by fusing the forward into a single triton kernel, with reduction done outside the kernel. It achieves ~1.5X speed and ~15% memory reduction for 128K vocab size.
-- **JSD**: [Generalized JSD](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2306.13649) (Jensen-Shannon divergence), is implemented by computing both the loss and gradient in the forward pass. It achieves ~1.5X speed and ~54% memory reduction for 128k vocab size.
-- **FusedLinearJSD**: Peak memory usage of JSD loss is further improved by fusing the model head with the JSD and chunking the input for block-wise loss and gradient calculation. It achieves ~85% memory reduction for 128k vocab size where batch size $\times$ sequence length is 8192.

-- **Matmul int2xint8**: is implemented by using the cache tiled matrix multiplication and by fusing the matmul with the unpacking process which achieves a considerable speed up and performs on par with @torch.compile
-<!-- TODO: be more specific about batch size -->
-> **Note:**
-> Reported speedups and memory reductions are with respect to the LLaMA 3-8B Hugging Face layer implementations. All models use 4K hidden size and 4K sequence length and are evaluated based on memory usage and wall time for the forward+backward pass on a single NVIDIA A100 80G GPU using small batch sizes. Liger kernels exhibit more efficient scaling to larger batch sizes, detailed further in the [Benchmark](./benchmark) folder.
