🎯 What is MindNLP?

MindNLP bridges the gap between HuggingFace's massive model ecosystem and MindSpore's hardware acceleration. With just import mindnlp, you can run any HuggingFace model on Ascend NPU, NVIDIA GPU, or CPU - no code changes required.

import mindnlp  # That's it! HuggingFace now runs on MindSpore
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("text-generation", model="Qwen/Qwen2-0.5B")
print(pipe("Hello, I am")[0]["generated_text"])

⚡ Quick Start

Text Generation with LLMs

import mindspore
import mindnlp
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline(
    "text-generation",
    model="Qwen/Qwen3-8B",
    ms_dtype=mindspore.bfloat16,
    device_map="auto"
)

messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "Write a haiku about coding"}]
print(pipe(messages, max_new_tokens=100)[0]["generated_text"][-1]["content"])

Image Generation with Stable Diffusion

import mindspore
import mindnlp
from diffusers import DiffusionPipeline

pipe = DiffusionPipeline.from_pretrained(
    "stable-diffusion-v1-5/stable-diffusion-v1-5",
    ms_dtype=mindspore.float16
)
image = pipe("A sunset over mountains, oil painting style").images[0]
image.save("sunset.png")

BERT for Text Classification

import mindnlp
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("bert-base-uncased")
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained("bert-base-uncased")

inputs = tokenizer("MindNLP is awesome!", return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model(**inputs)

</td> </tr> </table>

🧪 Mindtorch NPU Debugging

Mindtorch NPU ops are async by default. Use torch.npu.synchronize() when you need to block on results. For debugging, set ACL_LAUNCH_BLOCKING=1 to force per-op synchronization.

📦 Installation

# From PyPI (recommended)
pip install mindnlp

# From source (latest features)
pip install git+https://github.com/mindspore-lab/mindnlp.git
