Extreme Speed and Scale for DL Training
DeepSpeed enabled the world's most powerful language models (at the time of this writing) such as MT-530B and BLOOM. DeepSpeed offers a confluence of system innovations, that has made large scale DL training effective, and efficient, greatly improved ease of use, and redefined the DL training landscape in terms of scale that is possible. These innovations include ZeRO, ZeRO-Infinity, 3D-Parallelism, Ulysses Sequence Parallelism, DeepSpeed-MoE, etc.
DeepSpeed Adoption
DeepSpeed was an important part of Microsoft’s AI at Scale initiative to enable next-generation AI capabilities at scale, where you can find more information here.
DeepSpeed has been used to train many different large-scale models, below is a list of several examples that we are aware of (if you'd like to include your model please submit a PR):
- Megatron-Turing NLG (530B)
- Jurassic-1 (178B)
- BLOOM (176B)
- GLM (130B)
- xTrimoPGLM (100B)
- YaLM (100B)
- GPT-NeoX (20B)
- AlexaTM (20B)
- Turing NLG (17B)
- METRO-LM (5.4B)
DeepSpeed has been integrated with several different popular open-source DL frameworks such as:

Build Pipeline Status
Installation
The quickest way to get started with DeepSpeed is via pip, this will install the latest release of DeepSpeed which is not tied to specific PyTorch or CUDA versions. DeepSpeed includes several C++/CUDA extensions that we commonly refer to as our 'ops'. By default, all of these extensions/ops will be built just-in-time (JIT) using torch's JIT C++ extension loader that relies on ninja to build and dynamically link them at runtime.
Requirements
- PyTorch must be installed before installing DeepSpeed.
- For full feature support we recommend a version of PyTorch that is >= 2.0 and ideally the latest PyTorch stable release.
- A CUDA or ROCm compiler such as nvcc or hipcc used to compile C++/CUDA/HIP extensions.
- Specific GPUs we develop and test against are listed below, this doesn't mean your GPU will not work if it doesn't fall into this category it's just DeepSpeed is most well tested on the following:
- NVIDIA: Pascal, Volta, Ampere, and Hopper architectures
- AMD: MI100 and MI200
Contributed HW support
- DeepSpeed now support various HW accelerators.
| Contributor | Hardware | Accelerator Name | Contributor validated | Upstream validated |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Huawei | Huawei Ascend NPU | npu | Yes | No |
| Intel | Intel(R) Gaudi(R) 2 AI accelerator | hpu | Yes | Yes |
| Intel | Intel(R) Xeon(R) Processors | cpu | Yes | Yes |
| Intel | Intel(R) Data Center GPU Max series | xpu | Yes | Yes |
| Tecorigin | Scalable Data Analytics Accelerator | sdaa | Yes | No |
PyPI
We regularly push releases to PyPI and encourage users to install from there in most cases.
pip install deepspeed
After installation, you can validate your install and see which extensions/ops your machine is compatible with via the DeepSpeed environment report.
ds_report
If you would like to pre-install any of the DeepSpeed extensions/ops (instead of JIT compiling) or install pre-compiled ops via PyPI please see our advanced installation instructions.
Windows
Many DeepSpeed features are supported on Windows for both training and inference. You can read more about this in the original blog post here. Among features that are currently not supported are async io (AIO) and GDS (which does not support Windows).
- Install PyTorch, such as pytorch 2.3+cu121.
- Install Visual C++ build tools, such as VS2022 C++ x64/x86 build tools.
- Launch Cmd console with Administrator permissions for creating required symlink folders and ensure MSVC tools are added to your PATH or launch the Developer Command Prompt for Visual Studio 2022 with administrator permissions.
- Run
build_win.batto build wheel indistfolder.

Installation
The quickest way to get started with DeepSpeed is via pip, this will install the latest release of DeepSpeed which is not tied to specific PyTorch or CUDA versions. DeepSpeed includes several C++/CUDA extensions that we commonly refer to as our 'ops'. By default, all of these extensions/ops will be built just-in-time (JIT) using torch's JIT C++ extension loader that relies on ninja to build and dynamically link them at runtime.

Extreme Speed and Scale for DL Training
DeepSpeed enabled the world's most powerful language models (at the time of this writing) such as MT-530B and BLOOM. DeepSpeed offers a confluence of system innovations, that has made large scale DL training effective, and efficient, greatly improved ease of use, and redefined the DL training landscape in terms of scale that is possible. These innovations include ZeRO, ZeRO-Infinity, 3D-Parallelism, Ulysses Sequence Parallelism, DeepSpeed-MoE, etc.

DeepSpeed welcomes your contributions!
Prerequisites
DeepSpeed uses pre-commit to ensure that formatting is
consistent across DeepSpeed. First, ensure that pre-commit is installed from either
installing DeepSpeed or pip install pre-commit. Next, the pre-commit hooks must be
installed once before commits can be made:
pre-commit install
Afterwards, our suite of formatting tests run automatically before each git commit. You
can also run these manually:
pre-commit run --files $(git diff --name-only master)
If a formatting test fails, it will fix the modified code in place and abort
the git commit. After looking over the changes, you can git add <modified files>
and then repeat the previous git commit command.
You can also run:
make format
which will do the same as above, and it'll also automatically build a venv python environment if you
don't already have one, which will isolate the requirements of this project from requirements of other projects.
Testing
DeepSpeed tracks two types of tests: unit tests and more costly model convergence tests.
The model convergence tests train
DeepSpeedExamples and measure
end-to-end convergence and related metrics. Unit tests are found in tests/unit/ and
the model convergence tests are found in tests/model/.
Unit Tests
PyTest is used to execute tests. PyTest can be
installed from PyPI via pip install pytest. Simply invoke pytest --forked to run the
unit tests:
pytest --forked tests/unit/
You can also provide the -v flag to pytest to see additional information about the
tests. Note that pytest-forked and the
--forked flag are required to test CUDA functionality in distributed tests. Using
--forked is safe because import deepspeed no longer initializes a CUDA context;
earlier versions probed CUDA at import time, which poisoned fork().
You can also run:
make test
Diff-based CI test selection
Some GPU CI workflows (currently modal-torch-latest, which runs tests/unit/v1/)
run their modal tests on the merge queue entry instead of on every PR push, to
conserve Modal GPU quota. ci/tests_fetcher.py looks at the files your PR
changes, builds an import graph over deepspeed/ and the unit test helpers,
and selects only the tests that could be affected. The selection is previewed on
the PR by a cheap no-secret job and executed once the PR enters the merge queue
(push to master always runs everything). The full design — and
how to drive and extend it — is in
.github/workflows/TEST_SELECTION.md.
How it decides:
- It diffs your branch against the base branch's merge-base.
- Each changed Python file is traced forward to the tests that import it (directly or transitively); those tests are sele
