LitGPT is a collection of over 20 high-performance large language models (LLMs) accompanied by recipes to pretrain, finetune, and deploy them at scale. It provides implementations without abstractions, making it beginner-friendly while offering advanced features like flash attention and support for various precision levels. LitGPT is designed to run efficiently across multiple GPUs or TPUs, catering to both small-scale and large-scale deployments.

Transformer Engine (TE) is a library for accelerating Transformer models on NVIDIA GPUs, including using 8-bit floating point (FP8) precision on Hopper GPUs, to provide better performance with lower memory utilization in both training and inference. TE provides a collection of highly optimized building blocks for popular Transformer architectures and an automatic mixed precision-like API that can be used seamlessly with your framework-specific code.

...The execution is significantly faster and requires less resources than general-purpose deep learning frameworks on supported models and tasks thanks to many advanced optimizations: layer fusion, padding removal, batch reordering, in-place operations, caching mechanism, etc. The model serialization and computation support weights with reduced precision: 16-bit floating points (FP16), 16-bit integers (INT16), and 8-bit integers (INT8). The project supports x86-64 and AArch64/ARM64 processors and integrates multiple backends that are optimized for these platforms: Intel MKL, oneDNN, OpenBLAS, Ruy, and Apple Accelerate.

...Supports state-of-the-art transformer models, including LLMs such as Falcon, Llama, and Dolly v2. Implementing a feature or bugfix benefits all models. For example, all models support 4/8-bit inference through the bitsandbytes library and each model can use the PyTorch meta device to avoid unnecessary allocations and initialization.
