jaxtyping

Type annotations and runtime checking for:

1. shape and dtype of JAX arrays;
2. PyTrees.

For example:

from jaxtyping import Array, Float, PyTree

# Accepts floating-point 2D arrays with matching dimensions
def matrix_multiply(x: Float[Array, "dim1 dim2"],
                    y: Float[Array, "dim2 dim3"]
                  ) -> Float[Array, "dim1 dim3"]:
    ...

def accepts_pytree_of_ints(x: PyTree[int]):
    ...

def accepts_pytree_of_arrays(x: PyTree[Float[Array, "batch c1 c2"]]):
    ...

Installation

pip install jaxtyping

Requires JAX 0.3.4+.

Also install your favourite runtime type-checking package. The two most popular are typeguard (which exhaustively checks every argument) and beartype (which checks random pieces of arguments).

Shape annotations + runtime type checking is inspired by TorchTyping.

The concise syntax is partially inspired by etils.array_types.
