GIVT-PyTorch (wip)

An implementation of Generative Infinite Vocabulary Transformer (GIVT) from Google Deepmind, in PyTorch.

This repo only implements the causal version of GIVT, and does away with the k mixtures predictions or the use of the full covariance matrix, as for most purposes they did not yield significantly better results.

The decoder transformer implementation is also modernized, adopting a Llama style architecture with gated MLPs, SiLU, RMSNorm, and RoPE.

The lowest hanging fruit with this architecture seem to be audio generation, video generation, and time series forecasting.

Install

# for inference
pip install .

# for training/development
pip install -e '.[train]'

Usage

from givt_pytorch import GIVT

# load pretrained checkpoint
model = GIVT.from_pretrained('elyxlz/givt-test')

latents = torch.randn((4, 500, 32)) # vae latents (bs, seq_len, size)
loss = model.forward(latents).loss # NLL Loss

prompt = torch.randn((50, 32)) # no batched inference implemented
generated = model.generate(
    prompt=prompt, 
    max_len=500,
    cfg_scale=0.5,
    temperature=0.95,
) # (500, 32)

Training

Define a config file in configs/, such as this one:

from givt_pytorch import (
    GIVT,
    GIVTConfig,
    DummyDataset,
    Trainer,
    TrainConfig
)

model = GIVT(GIVTConfig())
dataset = DummyDataset()

trainer = Trainer(
    model=model,
    dataset=dataset,    
    train_config=TrainConfig()
)

Create an accelerate config.

accelerate config

And then run the training.

accelerate launch train.py {config_name}

TODO

• Test out with latents from an audio vae
• Add CFG with rejection sampling
• Add k mixtures
