[https://github.com/google/jax JAX] is a framework for program transformation, esp. for automatic differentiation and machine learning. It's available on Nix/NixOS in the <code>python3Packages.{jax, jaxlib, jaxlibWithCuda}</code> packages.

'''Cache''': Using the [https://app.cachix.org/cache/cuda-maintainers#pull cuda-maintainers cache] is recommended! It will save you valuable time and electrons. Getting set up should be as simple as <code>cachix use cuda-maintainers</code>. See the [[CUDA]] wiki page for more info.

NOTE: JAX requires Python 3.9, the current version of <code>python3</code> in nixpkgs (as of 9/4/2021). JAX is currently only packaged for x86_64-linux (send a PR for your platform!).

It should print either "cpu", "gpu", or "tpu".

Note that hydra may not cache `jaxlibWithCuda` builds on cache.nixos.org since CUDA is "unfree." @samuela publishes builds on a public cachix [https://app.cachix.org/cache/ploop#pull ploop] cache. These are periodically built and pushed from [https://github.com/samuela/nixpkgs-upkeep/ nixpkgs-upkeep].
