AdamW

AdamW is a variant of the `Adam` optimizer that separates weight decay from the gradient update based on the observation that the weight decay formulation is different when applied to `SGD` and `Adam`.

bitsandbytes also supports paged optimizers which take advantage of CUDAs unified memory to transfer memory from the GPU to the CPU when GPU memory is exhausted.

Parameters

- params (`torch.Tensor`) — The input parameters to optimize.
- lr (`float`, defaults to 1e-3) — The learning rate.
- betas (`tuple(float, float)`, defaults to (0.9, 0.999)) — The beta values are the decay rates of the first and second-order moment of the optimizer.
- eps (`float`, defaults to 1e-8) — The epsilon value prevents division by zero in the optimizer.
- weight_decay (`float`, defaults to 1e-2) — The weight decay value for the optimizer.
- amsgrad (`bool`, defaults to `False`) — Whether to use the AMSGrad variant of Adam that uses the maximum of past squared gradients instead.
- optim_bits (`int`, defaults to 32) — The number of bits of the optimizer state.
- args (`object`, defaults to `None`) — An object with additional arguments.
- min_8bit_size (`int`, defaults to 4096) — The minimum number of elements of the parameter tensors for 8-bit optimization.
- percentile_clipping (`int`, defaults to 100) — Adapts clipping threshold automatically by tracking the last 100 gradient norms and clipping the gradient at a certain percentile to improve stability.
- block_wise (`bool`, defaults to `True`) — Whether to independently quantize each block of tensors to reduce outlier effects and improve stability.
- is_paged (`bool`, defaults to `False`) — Whether the optimizer is a paged optimizer or not.
