OpenTensor: Reproducing Faster Matrix Multiplication Discovering Algorithms

OpenTensor is a reproduction of AlphaTensor, which discovered a new algorithm that outperforms the state-of-the-art methods for matrix multiplication by Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL). While AlphaTensor provides a promising framework for solving scientific problems, it is really hard to reproduce due to the massive tricks and lack of source codes. In this paper, we clean up the algorithm pipeline, clarify the technical details, and make some improvements to the training process. Computational results show that OpenTensor can successfully find efficient matrix multiplication algorithms.
