![]() * Unify attention mask creation in LLMs. Currently, each model implementation in `mlx-examples/llms/models` has ad-hoc code to create a mask for the attention mechanism. This usually takes the form: ``` mask = None if h.shape[1] > 1: mask = nn.MultiHeadAttention.create_additive_causal_mask(h.shape[1]) mask = mask.astype(h.dtype) ``` This correctly creates a mask only if the input consists of more than one token. But this code assumes the multi-token input is at the beginning of inference. If, for example, we are evaluating multiple tokens because of speculative decoding or prompt cache reuse, this mask will not have the correct shape and and will cause the raising of an exception in the attention computation. Some of the models correctly implement the mask creation with code like this: ``` mask = None if h.shape[1] > 1: mask = create_additive_causal_mask( h.shape[1], cache[0].offset if cache is not None else 0 ) mask = mask.astype(h.dtype) ``` This commit unifies the attention mask creation for all models with a new function `create_attention_mask`, reducing code duplication and helping all models support inference performance enhancements like those mentioned above. * Allow batches in LLM key-value cache The current implementation of the LLM key-value cache assumes that the input batch is of size 1. Input batching (evaluating multiple alterative inputs at the same time) can be a valuable tool for speculative sampling and other techniques. This change removes the hard-coded batch size from the code that resizes the key-value cache. * Simplify causal mask creation Use the same codepath regardless of whether there's an offset or not. Addresses [this comment](https://github.com/ml-explore/mlx-examples/pull/911#discussion_r1691459717). * Use old-style type annotation to avoid linter error |

MLX Examples
This repo contains a variety of standalone examples using the MLX framework.
The MNIST example is a good starting point to learn how to use MLX.

Text Models
- MLX LM a package for LLM text generation, fine-tuning, and more.
- Transformer language model training.
- Minimal examples of large scale text generation with LLaMA, Mistral, and more in the LLMs directory.
- A mixture-of-experts (MoE) language model with Mixtral 8x7B.
- Parameter efficient fine-tuning with LoRA or QLoRA.
- Text-to-text multi-task Transformers with T5.
- Bidirectional language understanding with BERT.
Image Models
