Model Versions

Installation

# Install requirements (A100 + CUDA 12.8+ required)
pip install -r tensorrt_requirements.txt

# Verify TensorRT installation
python -c "import tensorrt; print(tensorrt.__version__)"  # Should be 10.13.x

Usage

TensorRT Engine (High Performance) - RECOMMENDED

from tensorrt_inference import WayraPPLTensorRT
from transformers import AutoTokenizer

# Load TensorRT model (A100 required)
model = WayraPPLTensorRT("wayrappl_fp16_bs2048.engine")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("latam-gpt/Wayra-Perplexity-Estimator-55M")

# Multilingual examples
texts = [
    # Spanish
    "La inteligencia artificial está transformando el mundo.",
    # Portuguese  
    "A tecnologia blockchain promete revolucionar sistemas financeiros.",
    # English
    "Natural language processing enables human-computer communication."
]

inputs = tokenizer(texts, return_tensors="pt", padding=True, truncation=True)
outputs = model.infer(inputs['input_ids'].numpy(), inputs['attention_mask'].numpy())

for i, text in enumerate(texts):
    print(f"Text: {text}")
    print(f"Perplexity: {outputs['ppl'][i]:.2f}\n")

PyTorch Model (Standard)

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("latam-gpt/Wayra-Perplexity-Estimator-55M")
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("latam-gpt/Wayra-Perplexity-Estimator-55M")

texts = ["Your text here"]
inputs = tokenizer(texts, return_tensors="pt", padding=True, truncation=True)
outputs = model(**inputs)
print(f"PPL: {outputs['ppl']}")

Performance Comparison: 100K Examples

# TensorRT: ~2 hours for 100,000 examples
# PyTorch: ~28 hours for 100,000 examples  
# Speedup: 14x faster with TensorRT

• LayerNorm + Linear → Combined operation
• Attention QKV projections → Single matrix multiplication
• Multi-head attention → Fused attention kernel

Memory Optimizations:

• Intermediate attention matrices eliminated
• Key/Value cache optimized for batch processing
• Activation recomputation removed (stored in optimized layout)

Graph Optimizations:

• Constant folding on positional embeddings
• Dead code elimination of unused heads
• Operator fusion for perplexity computation

Benchmarks (A100)

Model Details

• Languages: Spanish, Portuguese, English
• Max Length: 512 tokens
• Precision: FP16 (TensorRT), FP32 (PyTorch)
• Parameters: 55M

Troubleshooting

"TensorRT engine not compatible"

• Ensure you're using A100-SXM4-80GB GPU (sm_80 architecture)
• Check CUDA version: nvidia-smi (should be 12.8+)
• Verify TensorRT: python -c "import tensorrt" (should be 10.13.x)
• Confirm driver version: nvidia-smi (should be 570.124.06+)

"CUDA out of memory"

• Reduce batch size in inference
• Use smaller sequence lengths
• Monitor GPU memory: nvidia-smi -l 1

"Import tensorrt failed"

• Reinstall TensorRT: pip uninstall tensorrt && pip install tensorrt==10.13.0
• Check CUDA compatibility
• Verify LD_LIBRARY_PATH includes TensorRT libs

Performance not as expected

• Ensure GPU is not throttling: nvidia-smi -q -d PERFORMANCE
• Use dedicated GPU (not shared)
• Enable persistence mode: nvidia-smi -pm 1
