Adan - Pytorch

Implementation of the Adan (ADAptive Nesterov momentum algorithm) Optimizer in Pytorch.

Seems to perform slightly better than Adam on my local enwik8 autoregressive transformer training

Install

$ pip install adan-pytorch

Usage

from adan_pytorch import Adan

# mock model

import torch
from torch import nn

model = torch.nn.Sequential(
    nn.Linear(16, 16),
    nn.GELU()
)

# instantiate Adan with model parameters

optim = Adan(
    model.parameters(),
    lr = 1e-3,                 # learning rate
    betas = (0.1, 0.1, 0.001), # beta 1-2-3 as described in paper
    weight_decay = 0.          # weight decay
)

# train

for _ in range(10):
    loss = model(torch.randn(16)).sum()
    loss.backward()
    optim.step()
    optim.zero_grad()
