In a previous post, we introduced TorchNeuron, the native PyTorch backend for AWS Trainium (the torch-neuronx package). With it, Transformers runs its own modeling code on Trainium, as it does on any other device, so any Transformers model on the Hub may run. Which ones actually do?
The torch-neuronx model support Space answers that question for the most popular models on the Hub. It tells you whether a model runs unmodified on Trainium, and gives you the script to run it yourself.
The Space opens on the Selected view: our own selection of models picked among the top models on the Hub by downloads and by trending score. Each row gives the result, the number of Trainium cores the model is sharded over, the wall time of the run (compilation included) and the peak device memory.
To look up a given model, switch to the Trending or Downloads view and type part of its name. These views follow the Hub's own rankings, one task at a time, whether a model was tested or not. When a model was left out on purpose, the Space tells you why (most of the time it was not prioritized, sometimes it is truly incompatible). You can also pick the versions of the Neuron compiler (neuronx-cc) and of Transformers to look at.
At the time of writing, only Transformers models are tested, and our selection is limited to text-generation and image-text-to-text models. We plan to expand to diffusers, sentence transformers, and other transformers tasks.
