Decoupled DiLoCo for Resilient Distributed Pre-training
Arthur Douillard, Keith Rush, Yani Donchev +14
Modern large-scale language model pre-training relies heavily on the single program multiple data (SPMD) paradigm, which requires tight coupling across accelerators. Due to this co…
Eager Updates For Overlapped Communication and Computation in DiLoCo
Satyen Kale, Arthur Douillard, Yanislav Donchev
Distributed optimization methods such as DiLoCo have been shown to be effective in training very large models across multiple distributed workers, such as datacenters. These method…
Streaming DiLoCo with overlapping communication: Towards a Distributed Free Lunch
Arthur Douillard, Yanislav Donchev, Keith Rush +11
Training of large language models (LLMs) is typically distributed across a large number of accelerators to reduce training time. Since internal states and parameter gradients need…
Scaling Instructable Agents Across Many Simulated Worlds
SIMA Team, Maria Abi Raad, Arun Ahuja +91
Building embodied AI systems that can follow arbitrary language instructions in any 3D environment is a key challenge for creating general AI. Accomplishing this goal requires lear…
DiPaCo: Distributed Path Composition
Arthur Douillard, Qixuan Feng, Andrei A. Rusu +7
Progress in machine learning (ML) has been fueled by scaling neural network models. This scaling has been enabled by ever more heroic feats of engineering, necessary for accommodat…
DiLoCo: Distributed Low-Communication Training of Language Models
Arthur Douillard, Qixuan Feng, Andrei A. Rusu +6
Large language models (LLM) have become a critical component in many applications of machine learning. However, standard approaches to training LLM require a large number of tightl…
