Training & fine-tuning
Accelerate
Adds hardware and distributed execution support without replacing the user’s training loop.
Overview
Research summary
Accelerate reduces the infrastructure code required to run a PyTorch training script across different devices and distributed configurations. Its Accelerator interface prepares models, optimizers and dataloaders while leaving the developer’s training logic accessible. Configuration and launch commands cover local and distributed execution, and documented integrations include DeepSpeed and fully sharded training. The project also provides utilities for large-model inference. It is especially useful when engineers want to retain a custom training loop while changing the execution setup.
