ai.onnx.SimplifiedLayerNormalization
ai.onnx · ONNX Runtime compatibility operator · default-domain since_version 1
Description
Implements ONNX Runtime's legacy RMS normalization for models that serialize SimplifiedLayerNormalization in the default ONNX domain: Y = (X / sqrt(mean(X^2) + epsilon)) * scale. Its arithmetic corresponds to ONNX RMSNormalization, while retaining scale-before-output-cast ordering and optional inv_std_var. See the compatibility discussion. Supports float16/float32, float32 statistics, and a nonempty normalization suffix.
Inputs
| Name | Upstream name | Logical dtype | Rank | Shape | Description | Presence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
x |
X |
T |
— | — | Input tensor; the mean square is taken over the suffix dimensions starting at axis. |
required |
scale |
— | V |
— | — | Scale tensor, unidirectionally broadcastable to X; output Y has this tensor's dtype. |

Outputs
| Name | Upstream name | Logical dtype | Rank | Shape | Description | Presence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
y |
Y |
V |
same as x |
same as x |
Normalized and scaled output; same shape as X and same dtype as scale. |
required |
invStdVar |
inv_std_var |
U |
same as x |
derived | Optional inverse RMS statistic 1 / sqrt(mean(X^2) + epsilon); same rank as X, with the dimensions from axis onward set to one. |
optional |
Attributes
Default values (overridable per request):
| Attribute | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
axis |
-1 |
The first dimension of the normalization suffix; negative values count from the end, so the default -1 normalizes only the last dimension. |
epsilon |
0.00001 |
Small constant added to the mean square before taking the square root to avoid division by zero. |
keep_dims |
1 |
Legacy compatibility attribute. Only 1 is supported: optional statistics retain the input rank with normalized dimensions set to one. |
stash_type |
1 |
TensorProto element type of inv_std_var; this package implements the legacy float32 value 1. |
Type constraints
| Variable | Allowed dtypes |
|---|---|
T |
float32, float16 |
V |
float32, float16 |
U |
float32 |

Use with @huggingface/kernels
npm install --save-exact @huggingface/kernels@0.0.1-preview.2
Required output shapes and logical data types are inferred from the supplied inputs and attributes; result tensors are allocated automatically.
The version: 1 option selects the published kernel contract; it is independent of any operator opset, contrib since_version, or model version.
It follows the v1 branch as fixes land. To pin exact artifact bytes, pass a 40-character commit revision instead of version.
Replace each *Data placeholder with a typed array containing the corresponding input data.
import { getKernel } from "@huggingface/kernels";
const kernel = await getKernel("webgpu-kernels/ai.onnx.SimplifiedLayerNormalization", { version: 1 });
const { y } = await kernel({ x: { data: xData, shape: [8] }, scale: { data: scaleData, shape: [8] } });
