The Universal Checkpointing paper is out! https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.18820
If you remember the Bigscience BLOOM-176B training, Tunji Ruwase and I co-invented this technology for Megatron-Deepspeed in order to enable to quickly scale up and down node topology while continuing training.
Since then the DeepSpeed team continued improving on that and it has now been fully integrated into Deepspeed.
The blog post is here: https://github.com/microsoft/DeepSpeed/blob/master/blogs/deepspeed-ucp/README.md

A combined effort from the IBM + Pytorch teams achieved an incredible training performance with ZeRO/FSDP on par with 3D parallelism on H100s, while having just 800Gbps inter-node connection.
This is because they got an almost full overlap between comms and compute and have introduced a novel selective activation recomputation method which recalculates only large but inexpensive activations.

If you're trying to run MoE Mixtral-8x7b under DeepSpeed w/ HF Transformers it's likely to hang on the first forward.
The solution is here https://github.com/microsoft/DeepSpeed/pull/4966?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-US#issuecomment-1989671378
and you need deepspeed>=0.13.0
Thanks to Masahiro Tanaka for the fix.

Hear, hear, AMD MI300Xs have started to emerge much sooner than expected.
Here is a 2-part benchmarks report on performing BLOOM-176B inference using @MSFTDeepSpeed optimized for AMD MI300X.
1. https://www.evp.cloud/post/diving-deeper-insights-from-our-llm-inference-testing
2. https://www.evp.cloud/post/diving-deeper-insights-from-our-llm-inference-testing-part-2
This was published in response to our BLOOM-176B super-fast inference blog post https://huggingface.co/blog/bloom-inference-pytorch-scripts
Note that these have 192GB of HBM!
The NVIDIA monopoly is strong, but it'll have to start sharing the pie and hopefully drive the costs down at least somewhat.
Thanks to https://www.linkedin.com/in/eliovp for sharing this writeup with me.
p.s. at the PyTorch conference in the fall, the AMD representative said we will see MI300X available to us mortals in Q4-2024/Q1-2025.

Thank you for the kind words, Jeff!
We are still waiting for BLOOM v2.0 from HF!

"The Case for Co-Designing Model Architectures with Hardware"
This is a long overdue paper that we have started discussing back when training BLOOM-176.
Basically this paper tells you how to design your model's dimensions for an optimal training throughput.
Fantastic!
Yours truly contributed the SwiGLU section ;)

New in Gradio 4.16.0 - Galleries as Input 🖼️
Now your users can upload multiple images as input to your AI application and view them in a slick gallery!
Attached is a demo of how this new feature can be used in a photomaker-type application: TencentARC/PhotoMaker
Shout out @abidlabs and @akhaliq who proposed this feature after seeing some of the workarounds gradio developers were using in the wild to upload multiple images.
The gradio team works hard to stay up to date with the latest trends in AI! If there's something missing from the library, file an issue on github! https://github.com/gradio-app/gradio/issues

Do you have a hidden massive storage leak thanks to HF hub models and datasets revisions adding up and not getting automatically deleted?
Here is how to delete all old revisions and only keeping
In terminal A:
Do not answer the prompt and proceed with my instructions.
(note your tmp file will have a different path, so adjust it below)
In terminal B:
The perl one-liner uncommented out all lines that had
Now go back to terminal A and hit: N, Y, Y, so it looks like:
Done.
If you messed up with the prompt answering you still have
