Researchers developed a training method for large-scale Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models using FP4 precision on Hopper GPUs without native 4-bit support. The technique achieves 14.8% memory reduction and 12.5% throughput improvement for 671B parameter models by using FP4 for activations while keeping core computations in FP8.
Researchers introduce veScale-FSDP, a redesigned Fully Sharded Data Parallel system that overcomes limitations of current FSDP implementations used for training large-scale AI models. The new system features flexible RaggedShard format and structure-aware planning, achieving 5-66% higher throughput and 16-30% lower memory usage while supporting advanced training methods and scaling to tens of thousands of GPUs.
