    Gained 21% fewer stars in the last 90 days than in the 90 days before.

    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Provides a JAX-native library for efficient post-training of large language models including fine-tuning, reinforcement learning, and knowledge distillation.
    • Enables scalable and modular LLM post-training optimized for TPU accelerators with native support for advanced training strategies and model sharding.
    • Use for supervised fine-tuning of LLMs with full weights or parameter-efficient LoRA/Q-LoRA methods in JAX-based environments.
    • Use for reinforcement learning applications on LLMs using algorithms like PPO, GRPO, and token-level GSPO for policy optimization.
    • Use for knowledge distillation to transfer knowledge between teacher and student models via logit matching, attention transfer, and feature projection.

    From the README

    Tunix(Tune-in-JAX) is a JAX based library designed to streamline the post-training of Large Language Models. It provides efficient and scalable supports for:

    Tunix leverages the power of JAX for accelerated computation and seamless integration with JAX-based modeling framework Flax NNX.

    Tunix is in early development. We're actively working to expand its capabilities, usability and improve its performance. Stay tuned for upcoming updates and new features!
