NKI Library provides pre-built NKI kernels you can use in model development with Neuron. :date-modified: 12/02/2025 .. _nkl_overviews_home: About the NKI Library ====================================== Learn about the NKI Library and the pre-built kernels it provides to accelerate the performance of your models. What is the NKI Library? ----------------------------------- The NKI Library is a collection of pre-built NKI kernels optimized for AWS Neuron-powered devices. These kernels are designed to accelerate machine learning workloads by providing efficient implementations of common operations used in deep learning models. How do I use the NKI Library? ------------------------------ The kernels in the NKI Library are provided in a public GitHub repository that you can clone and integrate into your Neuron-based model development workflow. You can use these kernels directly in your models to take advantage of their optimized performance on Neuron hardware. * **NKI Library repository**: https://github.com/aws-neuron/nki-library To get started using NKI Library kernels in your model development, clone or fork the repo and follow the instructions in the `README `_ file.
