The DiLoCo team at Google DeepMind and Google Research is proud to release Decoupled DiLoCo, the next frontier for resilient AI pre-training. Decoupled DiLoCo enables training with datacenters across the world, using heterogeneous hardware, and never halting the system despite hardware failures.

I'm super excited to release DiPaCo, a new kind of mixture of experts, that can scale engineering-wise to data centers across the entire world! A few words about it in this thread 🧵
Google presents DiPaCo Distributed Path Composition Progress in machine learning (ML) has been fueled by scaling neural network models. This scaling has been enabled by ever more heroic feats of engineering, necessary for accommodating ML approaches that require high

Excited to announce that @sukritkalra and @pschafhalter will be presenting at @EuroSys_conf on Thursday our work on developing a new execution model (D3), and an execution engine (ERDOS) that enables autonomous vehicles to adapt and to avoid collisions.

Attend their talk to learn about how we validated our execution engine by building an open-source self-driving car stack, which we deployed both on simulated and real-world cars. Joint work with the above, @mejoeyg and Ion Stoica.

At SoCC today, I will be presenting our work (with @m_isard and Martin Abadi) on offering efficient fault-tolerance for complex dataflow applications that combine batch, stream, and iterative processing. #socc21 Paper: dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3…

Our solution enables an application to pick the most appropriate fault-tolerance mechanism for each part of the application, and to combine the chosen fault-tolerance mechanisms such that the application recovers in a globally consistent state in the event of a failure.
Today in the Unmanned Vehicle award session of #ICRA2021, @sukritkalra will present our work on Pylot, an adaptable platform for developing autonomous vehicles. Our platform provides plug and play modules to deploy AVs in simulation and real-world.

The paper is available here: ionelgog.org/data/papers/202…, and the code is github.com/erdos-project/pyl… in case you want to take Pylot for a spin.

Bought a mechanical keyboard with more resistance so my code will be strongly typed.
