This repository records EleutherAI's library for training large-scale language models on GPUs. Our current framework is based on NVIDIA's Megatron Language Model and has been augmented with techniques from DeepSpeed as well as some novel optimizations. We aim to make this repo a centralized and accessible place to gather techniques for training large-scale autoregressive language models, and accelerate research into large-scale training. For those looking for a TPU-centric codebase, we recommend Mesh Transformer JAX. ...

...The project introduces a minimalist approach to self-supervised learning that avoids negative pairs, momentum encoders, or large memory banks—key complexities of prior contrastive methods. SimSiam learns image representations by maximizing similarity between two augmented views of the same image through a Siamese neural network with a stop-gradient operation, preventing feature collapse. This elegant yet effective design achieves strong results in unsupervised learning benchmarks such as ImageNet without requiring contrastive losses. The repository provides scripts for both unsupervised pre-training and linear evaluation, using a ResNet-50 backbone by default. ...
