Google DeepMind Researchers Introduce DiLoCo: A Novel Distributed, Low-Communication Machine Learning Algorithm for Effective and Resilient Large Language Model Training
The soaring capabilities of language models in real-world applications are often hindered by the intricate challenges associated with their large-scale training using conventional methods like standard backpropagation. Google DeepMind’s latest breakthrough, DiLoCo (Distributed Low-Communication), sets a new precedent in language model optimization. In the paper “DiLoCo: Distributed Low-Communication Training of Language Models,” the research…
