Flexible, extensible, hardware-agnostic gravitational-wave population inference.

It provides:

Simple use of GPU-acceleration via JAX and cupy.
Implementations of widely used likelihood compatible with Bilby.
A standard format for defining new population models.
A collection of standard population models.

If you're using this on high-performance computing clusters, you may be interested in the associated pipeline code gwpopulation_pipe.
