FAQPage Schema
How do I run distributed LLM pretraining with 4D parallelism in PyTorch?

Distributed LLM pretraining with 4D parallelism is enabled natively through TorchTitan, utilizing FSDP2, Tensor Parallel, Pipeline Parallel, and Context Parallel across multi-node GPU clusters.

Can I pretrain Llama 3.1 or DeepSeek V3 using native PyTorch across multiple GPUs?

Yes, you can pretrain Llama 3.1 or DeepSeek V3 across 8 to 512+ GPUs using native PyTorch configurations, complete with distributed checkpointing and Float8 support.

What PyTorch version is required for FSDP2 and Float8 distributed training?

FSDP2 and Float8 distributed training require PyTorch version 2.x or higher, alongside the torchtitan and torchao libraries to execute the 4D parallelism workflows.

Does torchtitan support multi-node checkpointing for large-scale model training?

Yes, TorchTitan supports distributed checkpointing for multi-node, multi-GPU configurations, ensuring training state recovery and scalability for large language model pretraining.

What is the best way to scale custom model pretraining from 8 to 512 GPUs?

Scaling custom model pretraining to 512+ GPUs is best handled using TorchTitan's 4D parallelism, combining FSDP2, TP, PP, and CP with torch.compile optimizations.
