Numerical Elixir.
The Nx library is a collection of functions and data
types to work with Numerical Elixir. This module defines
the main entry point for building and working with said
data-structures. For example, to create an n-dimensional
tensor, do:
iex> t = Nx.tensor([[1, 2], [3, 4]])
iex> Nx.shape(t)
{2, 2}Nx also provides the so-called numerical definitions under
the Nx.Defn module. They are a subset of Elixir tailored for
numerical computations. For example, it overrides Elixir's
default operators so they are tensor-aware:
defn softmax(t) do
Nx.exp(t) / Nx.sum(Nx.exp(t))
endCode inside defn functions can also be given to custom compilers,
which can compile said functions just-in-time (JIT) to run on the
CPU or on the GPU.

creating-tensors
Creating tensors
The main APIs for creating tensors are tensor/2, from_binary/2,
iota/2, eye/2, random_uniform/2, random_normal/2, and
broadcast/3.
The tensor types can be one of:
- unsigned integers (
u8,u16,u32,u64) - signed integers (
s8,s16,s32,s64) - floats (
f16,f32,f64) - brain floats (
bf16) - and complex numbers (
c64,c128)
The types are tracked as tuples:
iex> Nx.tensor([1, 2, 3], type: {:f, 32})
#Nx.Tensor<
f32[3]
[1.0, 2.0, 3.0]
>But a shortcut atom notation is also available:
iex> Nx.tensor([1, 2, 3], type: :f32)
#Nx.Tensor<
f32[3]
[1.0, 2.0, 3.0]
>The tensor dimensions can also be named, via the :names option
available to all creation functions:
iex> Nx.iota({2, 3}, names: [:x, :y])
#Nx.Tensor<
s64[x: 2][y: 3]
[
[0, 1, 2],
[3, 4, 5]
]
>Finally, for creating vectors and matrices, a sigil notation is available:
iex> import Nx, only: :sigils
iex> ~V[1 2 3]f32
#Nx.Tensor<
f32[3]
[1.0, 2.0, 3.0]
>
iex> import Nx, only: :sigils
iex> ~M'''
...> 1 2 3
...> 4 5 6
...> '''s32
#Nx.Tensor<
s32[2][3]
[
[1, 2, 3],
[4, 5, 6]
]
>All other APIs accept exclusively numbers or tensors, unless explicitly noted otherwise.
broadcasting
Broadcasting
Broadcasting allows operations on two tensors of different shapes to match. For example, most often operations between tensors have the same shape:
iex> a = Nx.tensor([1, 2, 3])
iex> b = Nx.tensor([10, 20, 30])
iex> Nx.add(a, b)
#Nx.Tensor<
s64[3]
[11, 22, 33]
>Now let's imagine you want to multiply a large tensor of dimensions 1000x1000x1000 by 2. If you had to create a similarly large tensor only to perform this operation, it would be inefficient. Therefore, you can simply multiply this large tensor by the scalar 2, and Nx will propagate its dimensions at the time the operation happens, without allocating a large intermediate tensor:
iex> Nx.multiply(Nx.tensor([1, 2, 3]), 2)
#Nx.Tensor<
s64[3]
[2, 4, 6]
>In practice, broadcasting is not restricted only to scalars; it
is a general algorithm that applies to all dimensions of a tensor.
When broadcasting, Nx compares the shapes of the two tensors,
starting with the trailing ones, such that:
If the dimensions have equal size, then they are compatible
If one of the dimensions have size of 1, it is "broadcast" to match the dimension of the other
In case one tensor has more dimensions than the other, the missing dimensions are considered to be of size one. Here are some examples of how broadcast would work when multiplying two tensors with the following shapes:
s64[3] * s64
#=> s64[3]
s64[255][255][3] * s64[3]
#=> s64[255][255][3]
s64[2][1] * s[1][2]
#=> s64[2][2]
s64[5][1][4][1] * s64[3][4][5]
#=> s64[5][3][4][5]If any of the dimensions do not match or are not 1, an error is raised.
access-syntax-slicing
Access syntax (slicing)
Nx tensors implement Elixir's access syntax. This allows developers to slice tensors up and easily access sub-dimensions and values.
Access accepts integers:
iex> t = Nx.tensor([[1, 2], [3, 4]])
iex> t[0]
#Nx.Tensor<
s64[2]
[1, 2]
>
iex> t[1]
#Nx.Tensor<
s64[2]
[3, 4]
>
iex> t[1][1]
#Nx.Tensor<
s64
4
>If a negative index is given, it accesses the element from the back:
iex> t = Nx.tensor([[1, 2], [3, 4]])
iex> t[-1][-1]
#Nx.Tensor<
s64
4
>Out of bound access will raise:
iex> Nx.tensor([1, 2])[2]
** (ArgumentError) index 2 is out of bounds for axis 0 in shape {2}
iex> Nx.tensor([1, 2])[-3]
** (ArgumentError) index -3 is out of bounds for axis 0 in shape {2}The index can also be another tensor but in such cases it must be a scalar between 0 and the dimension size. Out of bound dynamic indexes are always clamped to the tensor dimensions:
iex> two = Nx.tensor(2)
iex> t = Nx.tensor([[1, 2], [3, 4]])
iex> t[two][two]
#Nx.Tensor<
s64
4
>For example, a minus_one dynamic index will be clamped to zero:
iex> minus_one = Nx.tensor(-1)
iex> t = Nx.tensor([[1, 2], [3, 4]])
iex> t[minus_one][minus_one]
#Nx.Tensor<
s64
1
>Access also accepts ranges. Ranges in Elixir are inclusive:
iex> t = Nx.tensor([[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6], [7, 8]])
iex> t[0..1]
#Nx.Tensor<
s64[2][2]
[
[1, 2],
[3, 4]
]
>Ranges can receive negative positions and they will read from the back. In such cases, the range step must be explicitly given and the right-side of the range must be equal or greater than the left-side:
iex> t = Nx.tensor([[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6], [7, 8]])
iex> t[1..-2//1]
#Nx.Tensor<
s64[2][2]
[
[3, 4],
[5, 6]
]
>As you can see, accessing with a range does not eliminate the accessed axis. This means that, if you try to cascade ranges, you will always be filtering the highest dimension:
iex> t = Nx.tensor([[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6], [7, 8]])
iex> t[1..-1//1] # Drop the first "row"
#Nx.Tensor<
s64[3][2]
[
[3, 4],
[5, 6],
[7, 8]
]
>
iex> t[1..-1//1][1..-1//1] # Drop the first "row" twice
#Nx.Tensor<
s64[2][2]
[
[5, 6],
[7, 8]
]
>Therefore, if you want to slice across multiple dimensions, you can wrap the ranges in a list:
iex> t = Nx.tensor([[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6], [7, 8]])
iex> t[[1..-1//1, 1..-1//1]] # Drop the first "row" and the first "column"
#Nx.Tensor<
s64[3][1]
[
[4],
[6],
[8]
]
>You can also use .. as the full-slice range, which means you want to
keep a given dimension as is:
iex> t = Nx.tensor([[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6], [7, 8]])
iex> t[[.., 1..-1//1]] # Drop only the first "column"
#Nx.Tensor<
s64[4][1]
[
[2],
[4],
[6],
[8]
]
>You can mix both ranges and integers in the list too:
iex> t = Nx.tensor([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9], [10, 11, 12]])
iex> t[[1..2, 2]]
#Nx.Tensor<
s64[2]
[6, 9]
>If the list has less elements than axes, the remaining dimensions are returned in full:
iex> t = Nx.tensor([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9], [10, 11, 12]])
iex> t[[1..2]]
#Nx.Tensor<
s64[2][3]
[
[4, 5, 6],
[7, 8, 9]
]
>The access syntax also pairs nicely with named tensors. By using named tensors, you can pass only the axis you want to slice, leaving the other axes intact:
iex> t = Nx.tensor([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9], [10, 11, 12]], names: [:x, :y])
iex> t[x: 1..2]
#Nx.Tensor<
s64[x: 2][y: 3]
[
[4, 5, 6],
[7, 8, 9]
]
>
iex> t[x: 1..2, y: 0..1]
#Nx.Tensor<
s64[x: 2][y: 2]
[
[4, 5],
[7, 8]
]
>
iex> t[x: 1, y: 0..1]
#Nx.Tensor<
s64[y: 2]
[4, 5]
>For a more complex slicing rules, including strides, you
can always fallback to Nx.slice/4.
backends
Backends
The Nx library has built-in support for multiple backends.
A tensor is always handled by a backend, the default backend
being Nx.BinaryBackend, which means the tensor is allocated
as a binary within the Erlang VM.
Most often backends are used to provide a completely different implementation of tensor operations, often accelerated to the GPU. In such cases, you want to guarantee all tensors are allocated in the new backend. This can be done by configuring your runtime:
# config/runtime.exs
import Config
config :nx, default_backend: EXLA.BackendIn your notebooks and on Mix.install/2, you might:
Mix.install(
[
{:nx, ">= 0.0.0"}
],
config: [nx: [default_backend: EXLA.Backend]]
)Or by calling Nx.global_default_backend/1 (less preferrable):
Nx.global_default_backend(EXLA.Backend)To pass options to the backend, replacing EXLA.Backend by
{EXLA.Backend, client: :cuda} or similar. See the documentation
for EXLA and Torchx
for installation and GPU support.
To implement your own backend, check the Nx.Tensor behaviour.

Returns a scalar tensor of value 1 if all of the tensor values are not zero. Otherwise the value is 0.
If the :axes option is given, it aggregates over
the given dimensions, effectively removing them.
axes: [0] implies aggregating over the highest order
dimension and so forth. If the axis is negative, then
counts the axis from the back. For example, axes: [-1]
will always aggregate all rows.
You may optionally set :keep_axes to true, which will
retain the rank of the input tensor by setting the reduced
axes to size 1.

Errors
iex> Nx.product(Nx.tensor([[1, 2]]), axes: [2])
** (ArgumentError) given axis (2) invalid for shape with rank 2Reduces over a tensor with the given accumulator.
The given fun will receive two tensors and it must
return the reduced value.
The tensor may be reduced in parallel and the reducer function can be called with arguments in any order, the initial accumulator may be given multiples, and it may be non-deterministic. Therefore, the reduction function should be associative (or as close as possible to associativity considered floats themselves are not strictly associative).
By default, it reduces all dimensions of the tensor and
return a scalar. If the :axes option is given, it
aggregates over multiple dimensions, effectively removing
them. axes: [0] implies aggregating over the highest
order dimension and so forth. If the axis is negative,
then counts the axis from the back. For example,
axes: [-1] will always aggregate all rows.
The type of the returned tensor will be computed based on
the given tensor and the initial value. For example,
a tensor of integers with a float accumulator will be
cast to float, as done by most binary operators. You can
also pass a :type option to change this behaviour.
You may optionally set :keep_axes to true, which will
retain the rank of the input tensor by setting the reduced
axes to size 1.
limitations
Limitations
Given this function relies on anonymous functions, it
may not be available or efficient on all Nx backends.
Therefore, you should avoid using reduce/4 whenever
possible. Instead, use functions sum/2, reduce_max/2,
all/1, and so forth.
Inside defn, consider using Nx.Defn.Kernel.while/4 instead.

Finds the variance of a tensor.
The variance is the average of the squared deviations from the mean.
The mean is typically calculated as sum(tensor) / n, where n is the total
of elements. If, however, :ddof (delta degrees of freedom) is specified, the
divisor n - ddof is used instead.

>Link to this section Functions: Backend
Copies data to the given backend.
If a backend is not given, Nx.Tensor is used, which means
the given tensor backend will pick the most appropriate
backend to copy the data to.
Note this function keeps the data in the original backend.
Therefore, use this function with care, as it may duplicate
large amounts of data across backends. Generally speaking,
you may want to use backend_transfer/2, unless you explicitly
want to copy the data.
For convenience, this function accepts tensors and any container
(such as maps and tuples as defined by the Nx.Container protocol)
and recursively copies all tensors in them. This behaviour exists
as it is common to transfer data before and after defn functions.
Note:
Nx.default_backend/1does not affect the behaviour of this function.- This function cannot be used in
defn.

]Deallocates data in a device.
It returns either :ok or :already_deallocated.
For convenience, this function accepts tensors and any container
(such as maps and tuples as defined by the Nx.Container protocol)
and deallocates all devices in them. This behaviour exists as it is
common to deallocate data after defn functions.
Note: This function cannot be used in defn.
backend_transfer(tensor_or_container, backend \\ Nx.BinaryBackend)
View SourceTransfers data to the given backend.
This operation can be seen as an equivalent to backend_copy/3
followed by a backend_deallocate/1 on the initial tensor:
new_tensor = Nx.backend_copy(old_tensor, new_backend)
Nx.backend_deallocate(old_tensor)If a backend is not given, Nx.Tensor is used, which means
the given tensor backend will pick the most appropriate
backend to transfer to.
For Elixir's builtin tensor, transferring to another backend
will call new_backend.from_binary(tensor, binary, opts).
Transferring from a mutable backend, such as GPU memory,
implies the data is copied from the GPU to the Erlang VM
and then deallocated from the device.
For convenience, this function accepts tensors and any container
(such as maps and tuples as defined by the Nx.Container protocol)
and transfers all tensors in them. This behaviour exists as it is
common to transfer data from tuples and maps before and after defn
functions.
Note:
Nx.default_backend/1does not affect the behaviour of this function.- This function cannot be used in
defn.
examples
Examples
Transfer a tensor to an EXLA device backend, stored in the GPU:
device_tensor = Nx.backend_transfer(tensor, {EXLA.Backend, client: :cuda})Transfer the device tensor back to an Elixir tensor:
tensor = Nx.backend_transfer(device_tensor)Gets the default backend for the current process.
Note: This function cannot be used in defn.
Sets the given backend as default in the current process.
The default backend is stored only in the process dictionary.
This means if you start a separate process, such as Task,
the default backend must be set on the new process too.
Due to this reason, this function is mostly used for scripting and testing. In your applications, you must prefer to set the backend in your config files:
config :nx, :default_backend, {EXLA.Backend, device: :cuda}In your notebooks and on Mix.install/2, you might:
Mix.install(
[
{:nx, ">= 0.0.0"}
],
config: [nx: [default_backend: {EXLA.Backend, device: :cuda}]]
)Or use Nx.global_default_backend/1 as it changes the
default backend on all processes.
The function returns the value that was previously set as backend.
Note: This function cannot be used in defn.
examples
Examples
Nx.default_backend({EXLA.Backend, device: :cuda})
#=> {Nx.BinaryBackend, []}Sets the default backend globally.
You must avoid calling this function at runtime. It is mostly useful during scripts or code notebooks to set a default.
If you need to configure a global default backend in your
applications, it is generally preferred to do so in your
config/*.exs files:
config :nx, :default_backend, {EXLA.Backend, []}In your notebooks and on Mix.install/2, you might:
Mix.install(
[
{:nx, ">= 0.0.0"}
],
config: [nx: [default_backend: {EXLA.Backend, device: :cuda}]]
)The function returns the value that was previously set as global backend.
Invokes the given function temporarily setting backend as the
default backend.

Loads a .npy file into a tensor.
An .npy file stores a single array created from Python's
NumPy library. This function can be useful for loading data
originally created or intended to be loaded from NumPy into
Elixir.
This function will raise if the archive or any of its contents are invalid.

Loads a .npz archive into a list of tensors.
An .npz file is a zipped, possibly compressed
archive containing multiple .npy files.
It returns a list of two elements tuples, where
the tensor name is first and the serialized tensor
is second. The list is returned in the same order
as in the archive. Use Map.new/1 afterwards if
you want to access the list elements by name.
It will raise if the archive or any of its contents are invalid.
Note: This function cannot be used in defn.

]Serializes the given tensor or container of tensors to iodata.
You may pass any tensor or Nx.Container to serialization.
opts controls the serialization options. For example, you can choose
to compress the given tensor or container of tensors by passing a
compression level:
Nx.serialize(tensor, compressed: 9)Compression level corresponds to compression options in :erlang.term_to_iovec/2.
iodata is a list of binaries that can be written to any io device,
such as a file or a socket. You can ensure the result is a binary by
calling IO.iodata_to_binary/1.

>Converts the underlying tensor to a stream of tensor batches.
The first dimension (axis 0) is divided by batch_size.
In case the dimension cannot be evenly divided by
batch_size, you may specify what to do with leftover
data using :leftover. :leftover must be one of :repeat
or :discard. :repeat repeats the first n values to
make the last batch match the desired batch size. :discard
discards excess elements.
Note: This function cannot be used in defn.
examples
Examples
In the examples below we immediately pipe to Enum.to_list/1
for convenience, but in practice you want to lazily traverse
the batches to avoid allocating multiple tensors at once in
certain backends:

>Returns the underlying tensor as a binary.
Warning: converting a tensor to a binary can potentially be a very expensive operation, as it may copy a GPU tensor fully to the machine memory.
It returns the in-memory binary representation of the tensor in a row-major fashion. The binary is in the system endianness, which has to be taken into account if the binary is meant to be serialized to other systems.

** (ArgumentError) bitwise operators expect integer tensors as inputs and outputs an integer tensor, got: {:f, 32}Element-wise division of two tensors.
If a number is given, it is converted to a tensor.
It always returns a float tensor. If any of the input tensors are not float, they are converted to f32. Division by zero raises, but it may trigger undefined behaviour on some compilers.
It will broadcast tensors whenever the dimensions do not match and broadcasting is possible.
If you're using Nx.Defn.defn/2, you can use the / operator
in place of this function: left / right.
