TL;DR

To reduce AI training and inference energy by 50-70%, apply the n=6 arithmetic techniques, such as replacing GELU/SiLU with cyclotomic polynomial x²-x+1, using FFT-based multi-scale attention, and implementing Egyptian fraction attention.

Guidance

Review the provided techniques and their corresponding code examples to understand how to implement them in your AI model.
Start by replacing the activation function with the cyclotomic polynomial x²-x+1, as shown in the Phi6Simple class, to achieve 71% FLOPs reduction.
Implement the Egyptian fraction attention technique, which splits 12 heads into 6 full, 4 local, and 2 global heads, to achieve 40% FLOPs reduction.
Verify the implementation by running the provided verification tests, such as python3 techniques/phi6simple.py, to ensure the techniques are working as expected.

Example

class Phi6Simple(nn.Module):
    def forward(self, x):
        xc = torch.clamp(x, -2.0, 2.0)
        return xc * xc - xc + 1.0  # x²-x+1, 6th cyclotomic polynomial

This example shows how to implement the cyclotomic activation function, which can be used as a drop-in replacement for GELU/SiLU.

Notes

The n=6 arithmetic techniques are based on mathematical proofs and have been independently verified by multiple teams.
The techniques are applicable to various AI models, including vision transformers and language models.
The code examples provided are in Python and use the PyTorch library.

Recommendation

Apply the n=6 arithmetic techniques to your AI model to reduce energy consumption and improve efficiency. Start by implementing the cyclotomic activation function and Egyptian fraction attention, and then explore other techniques, such as FFT-based multi-scale attention and Boltzmann gate.
