# DeepSpeed Training ## Prereqs - Install: `pip install deepspeed` - GPU(s) with NVLink/PCIe and recent CUDA drivers ## Quick start (ZeRO-2) ```bash # Example config provided deepspeed --num_gpus 2 train_ultrathink.py \ --deepspeed deepspeed_config_zero2.json \ --dataset dummy --train_samples 4000 --val_samples 400 \ --vocab_size 50257 --hidden_size 384 --num_layers 4 --num_heads 6 --num_kv_heads 6 \ --intermediate_size 1536 --max_seq_length 512 \ --batch_size 1 --gradient_accumulation_steps 64 \ --learning_rate 5e-5 --use_amp --gradient_checkpointing ``` ## Notes - Adjust `train_batch_size` and `gradient_accumulation_steps` in the JSON. - For ZeRO-3, set `"stage": 3` and ensure the system has fast storage for optimizer/param state offload if used.
