Making culture count for Open Source sustainability—Celebrating FOSS Fund 25
To celebrate FOSS Fund #25 we have invited all employees whose projects were not selected in past FOSS Fund to propose a project for a one-time $500.00 USD award. We expect this to result in over 50 projects receiving this microgrant for a total of $25,000 USD. Read more
Hugging Face Transformers now enabled in Apache OpenNLP by ONNX Runtime
We’re excited to share the recent integration of ONNX Runtime in Apache OpenNLP! Apache OpenNLP is a Java machine learning library for natural language processing (NLP) tasks. Read more
Feathr feature store joins LF AI & Data Foundation
Together with our colleagues at LinkedIn, we are happy to announce that Feathr is joining the LF AI Data Foundation, an umbrella foundation of the Linux Foundation supporting open source innovation in AI and data. Read more
Live demos of machine learning models with ONNX and Hugging Face Spaces
Choosing which machine learning model to use, sharing a model with a colleague, and quickly trying out a model are all reasons why you may find yourself wanting to quickly run inference on a model. You can configure your environment and download Jupyter notebooks, but it would be nicer if there was a way to Read more
Join Microsoft at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2022
Welcome to KubeCon Europe 2022. While I am unfortunately stuck in rainy Seattle (coldest start to May in 20 years), I’m excited that many of our cloud-native Azure folks will be able to experience sunny Valencia. It’s especially exciting for KubeCon to be the first chance for parts of the Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) team Read more
Optimizing and deploying transformer INT8 inference with ONNX Runtime-TensorRT on NVIDIA GPUs
Mohit Ayani, Solutions Architect, NVIDIA Shang Zhang, Senior AI Developer Technology Engineer, NVIDIA Jay Rodge, Product Marketing Manager-AI, NVIDIA Transformer-based models have revolutionized the natural language processing (NLP) domain. Ever since its inception, transformer architecture has been integrated into models like Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) and Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) for performing tasks Read more
Scaling-up PyTorch inference: Serving billions of daily NLP inferences with ONNX Runtime
Scale, performance, and efficient deployment of state-of-the-art Deep Learning models are ubiquitous challenges as applied machine learning grows across the industry. We’re happy to see that the ONNX Runtime Machine Learning model inferencing solution we’ve built and use in high-volume Microsoft products and services also resonates with our open source community, enabling new capabilities that Read more
Supporting efficient large model training on AMD Instinct™ GPUs with DeepSpeed
This post was co-authored by Jithun Nair and Aswin Mathews, members of technical staff at AMD. In recent years, large-scale deep learning models have demonstrated impressive capabilities, excelling at tasks across natural language processing, computer vision, and speech domains. Companies now use these models to power novel AI-driven user experiences across a whole spectrum of Read more
Getting Linux based eBPF programs to run with eBPF for Windows
In our previous blog, we spoke about the progress we have made for the eBPF for Windows project. A key goal for us has been to meet developers where they are. As a result, enabling eBPF programs written for Linux to run on top of the eBPF for Windows platform is very important to us. Read more
Join us at the Build in the Open Happy Hour to connect and collaborate with Open Source enthusiasts
Open source has forever changed software development for the better. It has allowed developers from around the world to connect, collaborate, and build tomorrow’s technology. Microsoft culturally adopted an open mindset under Satya Nadella and internally changed the way software was developed. Microsoft is continually learning how to be a better open-source partner and support Read more
Announcing Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) workload identity for Kubernetes
Today, we are excited to announce an open-source project called Azure AD workload identity for Kubernetes. It leverages the public preview capability of Azure AD workload identity federation. With this project, developers can use native Kubernetes concepts of service accounts and federation to access Azure AD protected resources, such as Azure and Microsoft Graph, without needing Read more
