Purem is a high-performance computation engine that enhances Python's speed for machine learning applications, offering 100-500x acceleration compared to existing libraries like NumPy and PyTorch. By optimizing operations at a low hardware level with zero Python overhead, Purem addresses bottlenecks in traditional ML workflows, enabling faster execution and seamless integration into existing codebases. It is designed for modern hardware and can significantly reduce computation times for various applications, from fintech to big data processing.

Set Block Decoding (SBD) introduces a novel approach to accelerate the inference process in autoregressive language models by integrating next token prediction and masked token prediction. This method allows for parallel sampling of multiple tokens and achieves a significant reduction in computational requirements without compromising accuracy, as demonstrated through fine-tuning existing models like Llama-3.1 and Qwen-3. SBD provides a 3-5x decrease in forward passes needed for generation while maintaining performance levels similar to standard training methods.
