Optax 0.2.8

on GitHub

What's Changed

• Following the JAX 0.9.2 release, the jax_pmap_shmap_merge config flag was removed so that the jax.pmap implementation is always based on jax.jit and jax.shard_map, and opting into the old jax.pmap behavior is no longer an option. Optax had opted into the old behavior to give users time to migrate, and as of Optax 0.2.8 this is no longer supported. This changed shouldn't impact most users, but if you experience errors or performance regressions as a result of it, you can update your code following JAX's migration guide (or use JAX 0.9.2 or earlier and set jax.config.update("jax_pmap_shmap_merge", False)).
