Learning@Home - decentralized training of huge neural networks (learning-at-home.github.io)

Can you train a huge neural network without a supercomputer? Imagine you want a GPT-3-sized model, but instead of $10⁸ GPU cluster you've got support from thousands of volunteers across the world - gamers, research labs, small companies. What kind of system would you use to let them work together despite internet latency, packet loss, and hardware failures?

We at Learning@home are building just such a system. Together, we want to change large-scale deep learning from private experiments behind closed doors into a decentralized peer-to-peer activity where everyone can participate.

Let's build the BitTorrent of deep learning :)
