Context
This article is divided into five parts; they are: • Introduction to Fully Sharded Data Parallel • Preparing Model for FSDP Training • Training Loop with FSDP • Fine-Tuning FSDP Behavior • Checkpointing FSDP Models Sharding is a term originally used in database management systems, where it refers to dividing a database into smaller units, called shards, to improve performance.
For builders
Verify with primary source before acting. Also: note model size and inference requirements.
Verify
Prefer primary announcements, papers, repos, and changelogs over reposts.
Receipts
Primary sources so you can verify and dig deeper.
