About

What is FasterTransformer?

FasterTransformer is a repository designed to provide optimized scripts for running transformer-based encoders and decoders. Its primary focus is on transformer-related optimization, specifically targeting models such as BERT and GPT. While the NVIDIA/FasterTransformer repository remains available, development has officially transitioned to TensorRT-LLM, meaning no further updates or new features will be added to FasterTransformer itself. This tool is ideal for developers and researchers looking to enhance the performance of their transformer models.

FAQs

Is FasterTransformer still actively maintained and updated?

No, FasterTransformer is no longer actively maintained. Development has officially transitioned to TensorRT-LLM, and no further updates or new features will be added to FasterTransformer itself. Users are encouraged to migrate to TensorRT-LLM for ongoing support and enhancements.

What is the recommended alternative to FasterTransformer for new projects?

For new projects requiring optimized transformer inference, the recommended alternative is NVIDIA's TensorRT-LLM. It is the successor to FasterTransformer and offers continued development, new features, and improved performance for large language models.

Can I still use FasterTransformer for existing projects?

Yes, you can still use FasterTransformer for existing projects, as the repository remains available. However, be aware that you will not receive any new features, bug fixes, or performance improvements. For long-term viability and access to the latest optimizations, migrating to TensorRT-LLM is advisable.
