The minimalist & most-hackable repository for pre-training Llama-like models with 4D Parallelism (Data, Tensor, Pipeline, Context parallel). It is a rewrite of Megatron-LM for educational purpose.
-
The code itself is simple and readable: train.py, model.py and [data|tensor|pipeline|context]_parallel.py are all under 300 lines of code.
-
Performance is not the best but okay-ish, and still under active development. We observed 38% MFU on a LLaMA-2-7B model on 64 H100s and nearly 50% MFU on SmolLM-1.7B model on 8 H100s.
