Description
Distributed AI represents a computing approach that eliminates the necessity of transferring large data sets, enabling data analysis directly at its origin. Developed by IBM Research, the Distributed AI APIs consist of a suite of RESTful web services equipped with data and AI algorithms tailored for AI applications in hybrid cloud, edge, and distributed computing scenarios. Each API within the Distributed AI framework tackles the unique challenges associated with deploying AI technologies in such environments. Notably, these APIs do not concentrate on fundamental aspects of establishing and implementing AI workflows, such as model training or serving. Instead, developers can utilize their preferred open-source libraries like TensorFlow or PyTorch for these tasks. Afterward, you can encapsulate your application, which includes the entire AI pipeline, into containers for deployment at various distributed sites. Additionally, leveraging container orchestration tools like Kubernetes or OpenShift can greatly enhance the automation of the deployment process, ensuring efficiency and scalability in managing distributed AI applications. This innovative approach ultimately streamlines the integration of AI into diverse infrastructures, fostering smarter solutions.
Description
Tinker is an innovative training API tailored for researchers and developers, providing comprehensive control over model fine-tuning while simplifying the complexities of infrastructure management. It offers essential primitives that empower users to create bespoke training loops, supervision techniques, and reinforcement learning workflows. Currently, it facilitates LoRA fine-tuning on open-weight models from both the LLama and Qwen families, accommodating a range of model sizes from smaller variants to extensive mixture-of-experts configurations. Users can write Python scripts to manage data, loss functions, and algorithmic processes, while Tinker autonomously takes care of scheduling, resource distribution, distributed training, and recovery from failures. The platform allows users to download model weights at various checkpoints without the burden of managing the computational environment. Delivered as a managed service, Tinker executes training jobs on Thinking Machines’ proprietary GPU infrastructure, alleviating users from the challenges of cluster orchestration and enabling them to focus on building and optimizing their models. This seamless integration of capabilities makes Tinker a vital tool for advancing machine learning research and development.
