<div align="center"> Megatron-LM and Megatron Core ============================= <h4>GPU-optimized library for training transformer models at scale</h4> [![Documentation](https://img.shields.io/badge/docs-latest-brightgreen.svg?style=flat)](https://docs.nvidia.com/megatron-core/developer-guide/latest/index.html) [![version](https://img.shields.io/badge/release-0.19.0-green)](https://github.com/NVIDIA/Megatron-LM/releases) [![license](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-Apache-blue)](./LICENSE) <div align="left"> ## About This repository contains two components: **Megatron-LM** and **Megatron Core**. **Megatron-LM** is a reference example that includes Megatron Core plus pre-configured training scripts, ideal for research teams, learning distributed training, and quick experimentation. **Megatron Core** is a composable library with GPU-optimized building blocks for custom training frameworks. It provides transformer building blocks, advanced parallelism strategies (TP, PP, DP, EP, and CP), mixed precision support (FP16, BF16, FP8, and FP4), and model architectures, ideal for framework developers and ML engineers building custom training pipelines. **[Megatron Bridge](https://github.com/NVIDIA-NeMo/Megatron-Bridge)** provides bidirectional Hugging Face ↔ Megatron checkpoint conversion with production-ready recipes. ## Getting Started **Install from PyPI:** ```bash uv pip install megatron-core ``` **Or clone and install from source:** ```bash git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA/Megatron-LM.git cd Megatron-LM uv pip install -e . ``` > **Note:** Building from source can use a lot of memory. If the build runs out of memory, limit parallel compilation jobs by setting `MAX_JOBS` (for example, `MAX_JOBS=4 uv pip install -e .`).

The codebase efficiently trains models from 2B to 462B parameters across thousands of GPUs, achieving up to **47% Model FLOP Utilization (MFU)** on H100 clusters. ![Model table](images/model_table.png) **Benchmark Configuration:** - **Vocabulary size**: 131,072 tokens - **Sequence length**: 4,096 tokens - **Model scaling**: Varied hidden size, attention heads, and layers to achieve target parameter counts - **Communication optimizations**: Fine-grained overlapping with DP (`--overlap-grad-reduce`, `--overlap-param-gather`), TP (`--tp-comm-overlap`), and PP (enabled by default) **Key Results:** - **6,144 H100 GPUs**: Successfully benchmarked 462B parameter model training. - **Superlinear scaling**: MFU increases from 41% to 47–48% with model size. - **End-to-end measurement**: Throughputs include all operations (data loading, optimizer steps, communication, and logging). - **Production ready**: Full training pipeline with checkpointing and fault tolerance. - *Note: Performance results measured without training to convergence* ## Weak Scaling Results The weak scaled results show superlinear scaling (MFU increases from 41% for the smallest model considered to 47–48% for the largest models); this is because larger GEMMs have higher arithmetic intensity and are consequently more efficient to execute. ![Weak scaling](images/weak_scaling.png) ## Strong Scaling Results This test strong scales the standard GPT-3 model (slightly more than 175 billion parameters due to larger vocabulary size) from 96 H100 GPUs to 4,608 GPUs, using the same batch size of 1,152 sequences throughout. Communication becomes more exposed at larger scale, leading to a reduction in MFU from 47% to 42%. ![Strong scaling](images/strong_scaling.png) # Roadmaps - **[2026 Q2 Roadmap](https://github.com/NVIDIA/Megatron-LM/issues/4997)** - **[2026 Q2 MoE-Specific Roadmap](https://github.com/NVIDIA/Megatron-LM/issues/4815)** [`dev` branch first developments] # Resources ## Getting Help - 📖 **[Documentation](https://docs.nvidia.com/megatron-core/developer-guide/latest/index.html)** - Official guides and API reference - 🐛 **[Issues](https://github.com/NVIDIA/Megatron-LM/issues)** - Bug reports and feature requests ## Contributing Contributions are welcome.
