+In the interim, a number of new developments have happened including the rise of Transformers for Vision. Thus, Ranger21 (as in 2021) is a rewrite with multiple new additions reflective of some of the most impressive papers this past year. The focus for Ranger21 is that these internals will be parameterized, and where possible, automated, so that you can easily test and leverage some of the newest concepts in AI training, to optimize the optimizer on your respective dataset.
