Model Compression and Speedup Methods for LLM Training
The high computational cost of training Large Language Models often necessitates strategies beyond distributed training alone. To further boost efficiency, researchers and engineers commonly supplement distributed approaches with various model compression and speedup techniques, such as mixed precision training.

Mixed Precision Training
Optimizing a Large Model Training Pipeline
When training a large language model, why might a team employ techniques such as model compression or mixed precision training even when they are already using a large-scale distributed system?
Once a large language model training process is effectively parallelized across a distributed system, there is no longer a significant need to employ additional speedup or compression techniques.
