About DeepSpeed

DeepSpeed is an open-source deep learning optimization library for distributed training and inference. It includes ZeRO, ZeRO-Infinity, 3D-parallelism, Ulysses sequence parallelism, and DeepSpeed-MoE, and integrates with frameworks including Transformers, Accelerate, Lightning, MosaicML, Determined, and MMEngine.

It has been used to train large-scale models such as Megatron-Turing NLG (530B) and BLOOM (176B). The project holds public office hours on the last Tuesday of each month at 12:00 America/New_York.
