SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires accelerate, torch, transformers, and includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the complexity of configuring distributed training environments, allowing you to scale PyTorch models across multiple GPUs, nodes, or TPUs without rewriting your training loop.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unified API: Provides a single interface for DDP, DeepSpeed, FSDP, and Megatron-LM.
  • Automatic Optimization: Handles device placement, mixed precision (FP16/BF16/FP8), and gradient accumulation automatically.
  • Use Case: Transition a single-GPU training script to a multi-node cluster by adding only four lines of code and using a single launch command.

Quick Start

Use the huggingface-accelerate skill to launch your training script across all available GPUs with the command accelerate launch train.py.
