How Does it work?

1

Install Hypster

pip install hypster

2

Define a configuration space

from hypster import config, HP


@config
def llm_config(hp: HP):
    model_name = hp.select(["gpt-4o-mini", "gpt-4o"])
    temperature = hp.number(0.0, min=0.0, max=1.0)

3

Instantiate your configuration

results = my_config(values={"model" : "gpt-4o", "temperature" : 1.0})

4

Define an execution function

def generate(prompt: str, model_name: str, temperature: float) -> str:
    model = llm.get_model(model_name)
    response = model.prompt(prompt, temperature=temperature)
    return response

5

Execute!

generate(prompt="What is Hypster?", **results)

How to make the most out of Hypster

Why Use Hypster?

In modern AI/ML development, we often need to handle multiple configurations across different scenarios. This is essential because:

1. We don't know in advance which hyperparameters will best optimize our performance metrics and satisfy our constraints.

2. We need to support multiple "modes" for different scenarios. For example:

   1. Local vs. Remote Environments, Development vs. Production Settings

   2. Different App Configurations for specific use-cases and populations

Hypster takes care of these challenges by providing a simple way to define configuration spaces and instantiate them into concrete workflows. This enables you to easily manage and optimize multiple configurations in your codebase.
