Supercharge Your LLM Training Pipeline

Meet YaFSDP—Yandex's breakthrough open-source library that's transforming how language models learn. By solving the critical bottleneck in GPU cluster communication, this innovative framework delivers what AI developers need most. The training stage is the most expensive (and that's where YaFSDP can help), so this framework can become a valuable tool for the global community. 

YaFSDP offers:

  • Reduce up to 25% training times for open-source models

  • The most efficient public method for GPU communication

  • Seamless integration with custom optimizers - no complex setup

  • Full support for dynamic graphs, unlike traditional solutions

Stop letting inter-processor communication slow down your AI development. Whether you're training the next breakthrough model or optimizing existing architectures, YaFSDP eliminates the inefficiencies that waste your valuable GPU resources.

In other words, in some scenarios, YaFSDP saves the resources of approximately 150 GPUs, which equates to approximately $0.5 to $1.5 million (depending on the virtual GPU provider or platform) in potential monthly savings.
