Agora: Collective and Permissionless Internet-Scale Pretraining of Large Language Models

arXiv:2607. 13332v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Training large language models at the multi-billion to trillion parameter scale is confined to datacenters, where data-parallel (DP) and model-parallel (MP) techniques presume homogeneous accelerators, high-speed interconnects, and a single orchestrating entity.

DeadPool: Resilient LLM Training with Hot-Swapping via Zero-Overhead Checkpoint

State-of-the-art large language model (LLM) training takes tens of thousands of graphics processing units (GPUs) for months and encounters failures across the software and hardware stack. Existing fault-tolerance mechanisms either impose non-trivial overhead during failure-free execution or suffer from prolonged recovery latency, particularly under scenarios where a small subset of compute nodes experience permanent failures.
