Use cases

• Training large language models with distributed strategies
• Experimenting with model architectures for generative AI
• Scaling training workloads across multiple GPUs or nodes

Pros

• Built directly on PyTorch, leveraging its native features and performance
• Open source with strong community backing (5,394 stars on GitHub)
• Simplifies distributed training compared to building custom infrastructure

Cons

• Relatively new project, documentation and examples may be less mature
• Tightly coupled to PyTorch, not compatible with TensorFlow or other frameworks
• Limited to generative AI model training, not a general-purpose framework
