AdaptJax™ Technology

The Translation Layer That Unlocks Google's TPU Supercomputers

AdaptJax™ is Adaptensor's proprietary JAX-native embedding engine that runs directly on Google Cloud TPUs without TensorFlow or PyTorch dependencies.


The Problem: The Static Shape Barrier

Google's TPUs deliver exceptional performance—180+ TFLOPS per v2-8 chip—but they're notoriously difficult to use. TPUs require:

  • Static tensor shapes for XLA compilation
  • Fixed batch sizes determined at compile time
  • Predictable control flow without dynamic branching

Most AI workloads (PyTorch, JAX, real-world inference) are inherently dynamic:

  • Variable-length sequences (text, audio, time series)
  • Changing batch sizes per request
  • Conditional model execution
  • Ragged inputs from production systems

This mismatch causes:

Problem Impact
Compilation stalls 30-60 second delays mid-inference
Shape explosions Memory exhaustion from cached graphs
Latency spikes Unbounded response times
TPU crashes "Shape mismatch" errors

Result: The world's most powerful AI hardware sits underutilized behind a usability wall.


The Solution: AdaptJax Middleware

AdaptJax inserts a translation layer between your code and the TPU that:

  1. Normalizes shapes via adaptive bucketing
  2. Enforces XLA-friendly control flow patterns
  3. Optimizes memory for TPU HBM architecture ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Your Dynamic Workloads │ │ (variable sequences, ragged batches) │ └─────────────────┬───────────────────────────┘ │ ▼ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ AdaptJax™ Middleware │ │ ┌─────────────────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ Adaptive Bucketing & Padding │ │ │ │ • Variable inputs → Fixed shapes │ │ │ │ • {128, 256, 512} token buckets │ │ │ │ • Automatic mask generation │ │ │ └─────────────────────────────────────┘ │ │ │ │ │ ▼ │ │ ┌─────────────────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ JAX/Flax Transformer │ │ │ │ • XLA-optimized forward pass │ │ │ │ • Batched inference │ │ │ │ • Compiled graph reuse │ │ │ └─────────────────────────────────────┘ │ │ │ │ │ ▼ │ │ ┌─────────────────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ TPU v2-8 Execution │ │ │ │ • 180+ TFLOPS compute │ │ │ │ • 64GB HBM memory │ │ │ │ • 8 TPU cores parallel │ │ │ └─────────────────────────────────────┘ │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │ ▼ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ 384-dim Semantic Embeddings │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Three Pillars of AdaptJax

Pillar 1: Adaptive Bucketing & Padding

Converts dynamic inputs into a small set of fixed bucket sizes:

# Internal bucketing logic
BUCKETS = [128, 256, 512]

def pad_to_bucket(sequence, bucket_size):
    """Pad sequence to nearest bucket size."""
    padded_length = ((len(sequence) // bucket_size) + 1) * bucket_size
    padding = padded_length - len(sequence)
    return sequence + [PAD_TOKEN] * padding, create_mask(len(sequence))

Benefits:

Without AdaptJax With AdaptJax
Every unique shape triggers compilation Only 3 graph variants (one per bucket)
Unbounded compilation time Compiled once, reused forever
10-30% TPU utilization Near-100% utilization

Pillar 2: Tensor Adapters (PEFT/LoRA-style)

Hot-swap small adapter weights per customer while keeping one backbone model resident:

# Adapter injection pattern
output = (W @ x) + (A @ B @ x) * scale

Where:

  • W = frozen backbone weight (billions of parameters)
  • A, B = small adapter matrices (millions of parameters)
  • scale = normalization factor

Benefits:

  • Fast context switches between users (~10ms)
  • Single backbone serves all tenants
  • 90% memory reduction vs per-user models

Pillar 3: Elastic Compute (Entropy-Based Early Exit)

Simple queries exit early, complex ones use full depth:

def entropy(logits):
    """Low entropy = high confidence = exit early."""
    probs = jax.nn.softmax(logits)
    return -jnp.sum(probs * jnp.log(probs + 1e-9))
  • "What is 2+2?" → exits after 2 layers
  • "Explain quantum entanglement" → uses all 12 layers
  • XLA-compatible via fixed loop bounds + masking
