FAQPage Schema
How do I simplify distributed training across multiple GPUs in PyTorch?

Simplify distributed training using a unified API that integrates with PyTorch to support DeepSpeed, FSDP, Megatron, and DDP, enabling efficient scaling across multiple GPUs with minimal code changes.

Does mixed precision training work with DeepSpeed and FSDP frameworks?

Mixed precision training works seamlessly with DeepSpeed and FSDP frameworks through automatic device placement and optimization, ensuring efficient memory usage and faster computation when scaling your models.

What do I need to set up before using this distributed training API?

You need PyTorch and related libraries like accelerate and transformers installed to function properly. Setting up your Python environment with these dependencies ensures the unified API can manage distributed training and device placement.

What is the best way to scale large language model training without writing complex distributed code?

The best way to scale large language model training without complex code is using a unified API that integrates with PyTorch to handle distributed training across DeepSpeed, FSDP, Megatron, and DDP frameworks automatically.

When should I not use automatic device placement for mixed precision training?

You should avoid automatic device placement for mixed precision training when your custom PyTorch training script requires manual hardware control or uses unsupported distributed configurations outside of DeepSpeed, FSDP, Megatron, and DDP.
