# SOAP

This is the official (preliminary) implementation of the SOAP optimizer from [SOAP: Improving and Stabilizing Shampoo using Adam](https://arxiv.org/abs/2409.11321). To use, copy the soap.py file to your codebase and use SOAP optimizer in the following fashion:

```
from soap import SOAP

optim = SOAP(lr = 3e-3, betas=(.95, .95), weight_decay=.01, precondition_frequency=10)
```

We recommend trying it with as large batch size as possible, as expected from second order optimizers, the benefits are larger at larger batch sizes.

While in the paper our experiments are restricted to Transformers which only have 2D layers, the code supports nD layers. If you are using the optimizer for (n > 2) nD layers please see additional hyperparameters in soap.py.


We will release an improved version of the optimizer with support for lower precision and distributed training. 


Haydn Jones has implemented a JAX version at https://github.com/haydn-jones/SOAP_JAX, though we have not yet verified the implementation.

class SOAP(optim.Optimizer):
    """
    Implements SOAP algorithm (https://arxiv.org/abs/2409.11321).

    Parameters:
        params (`Iterable[nn.parameter.Parameter]`):
            Iterable of parameters to optimize or dictionaries defining parameter groups.
        lr (`float`, *optional*, defaults to 0.003):
            The learning rate to use.
        betas (`Tuple[float,float]`, *optional*, defaults to `(0.95, 0.95)`):
            Adam's betas parameters (b1, b2).
        shampoo_beta (`float`, *optional*, defaults to -1):
            If >= 0, use this beta for the preconditioner (L and R in paper, state['GG'] below) moving average instead of betas[1].
        eps (`float`, *optional*, defaults to 1e-08):
            Adam's epsilon for numerical stability.
        weight_decay (`float`, *optional*, defaults to 0.01): weight decay coefficient.
        precondition_frequency (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 10):
            How often to update the preconditioner.
        max_precond_dim (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 10000):
            Maximum dimension of the preconditioner.
            Set to 10000, so that we exclude most common vocab sizes while including layers.
        merge_dims (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `False`):
            Whether or not to merge dimensions of the preconditioner.
        precondition_1d (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `False`):
            Whether or not to precondition 1D gradients.
        normalize_grads (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `False`):
            Whether or not to normalize gradients per layer. 
            Helps at large precondition_frequency (~100 in our experiments), 
            but hurts performance at small precondition_frequency (~10 in our experiments).
        data_format (`str`, *optional*, defaults to `channels_first`):
            Data format of the input for convolutional layers.
            Should be "channels_last" for data_format of NHWC and "channels_first" for NCHW.
        correct_bias (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `True`):
            Whether or not to use bias correction in Adam.
