Something that would be hugely valuable to the CL community, IMO, would
be a tool that at least partially automates translation of a Python API
spec for an external library into something that CFFI could process.
I don't know how Python talks to C, C++, or Fortran, so I don't know how
easy this would be, but if it was possible, it would be hugely valuable
to (relatively) easily adapt arbitrary Python libraries.
Best,
R

I'd be interesting in working on such a library, whether it be native
or CFFI. The basics shouldn't be that difficult if we can find a C
library. @Burton (or others), contact me for a discussion; it would
be good to exchange notes in any case.

I don’t have experience with GPT myself, but I would guess
there’s a Python interface, in which case you could drive it through
py4cl (note: avoid py4cl2 for now, it is not yet ready for prime
time).
There are one or two minor oddities to learn in py4cl, but by and
large I have found it works quite well.

Hi Burton
no. I have not heard of anything similar, except maybefrom Mark
Watson (who should be on these lists - markwatson.com). I
becameinterested in them as well.
In any case, the issue is whether you are interested in a
CLimplementation or a binding to this or that C/C++ library (yeah!
Irefrain from mentioning languages susceptible to the 'irsabolattack'
😑 ).
All the best

Hello,
I was wondering if anybody on this list (or anybody youmight know)
has heard or had experience with a Common Lisp"Transformer" library,
as in Transformer from GeneralizedPre-trained Transformer (GPT).
I'd like to do some experimentation and was wondering if therewas any
previous work that has been done that can be used.
