Run Massive Llama 3.1 and Falcon Models at Home BitTorrent-Style

I can now run massive language models like Llama 3.1 and Falcon on a consumer-grade GPU by joining a distributed network. Instead of downloading the entire model, I load just a part while others serve the rest, enabling interactive chatbots and fine-tuning. This approach combines the ease of an API with the full flexibility of PyTorch and Transformers, all powered by the BigScience research workshop.

You get the comforts of an API with the flexibility of PyTorch and Transformers.
