Changelog

Sourced from jaxlib's changelog.

JAX 0.8.1 (November 18, 2025)

• New features:

  • {func}jax.jit now supports the decorator factory pattern; i.e instead of writing

    @functools.partial(jax.jit, static_argnames=['n'])
    def f(x, n):
      ...
    

    you may write

    @jax.jit(static_argnames=['n'])
    def f(x, n):
      ...
    

• Changes:

  • {func}jax.lax.linalg.eigh now accepts an implementation argument to select between QR (CPU/GPU), Jacobi (GPU/TPU), and QDWH (TPU) implementations. The EighImplementation enum is publicly exported from {mod}jax.lax.linalg.

  • {func}jax.lax.linalg.svd now implements an algorithm that uses the polar decomposition on CUDA GPUs. This is also an alias for the existing algorithm on TPUs.

• Bug fixes:

  • Fixed a bug introduced in JAX 0.7.2 where eigh failed for large matrices on GPU (({jax-issue}[#33062](https://github.com/jax-ml/jax/issues/33062)).

• Deprecations:

  • jax.sharding.PmapSharding is now deprecated. Please use jax.NamedSharding instead.
  • jx.device_put_replicated is now deprecated. Please use jax.device_put with the appropriate sharding instead.
  • jax.device_put_sharded is now deprecated. Please use jax.device_put with the appropriate sharding instead.
  • Default axis_types of jax.make_mesh will change in JAX v0.9.0 to return jax.sharding.AxisType.Explicit. Leaving axis_types unspecified will raise a DeprecationWarning.
  • {mod}jax.cloud_tpu_init and its contents were deprecated. There is no reason for a user to import or use the contents of this module; JAX handles this for you automatically if needed.
