To use this repository, please install the latest supported versions of PyTorch with GPU support (python 3.8, pytorch 1.8, cuda 11.1, and nccl 2.8.3 and above) and NVIDIA [APEX](https://github.com/NVIDIA/apex#quick-start). We strongly recommend using one of [NGC's recent PyTorch containers](https://ngc.nvidia.com/catalog/containers/nvidia:pytorch)(the latest compatible version at time of publication can be pulled with `docker pull nvcr.io/nvidia/pytorch:20.12-py3`). Data preprocessing requires [NLTK](https://www.nltk.org/install.html), though this is not required for training, evaluation, or downstream tasks.

To use megatron you can either clone the repo or install it via pip (make sure python3-dev is installed):

## Downloading Checkpoints
We have provided pretrained [BERT-345M](https://ngc.nvidia.com/catalog/models/nvidia:megatron_bert_345m) and [GPT-345M](https://ngc.nvidia.com/catalog/models/nvidia:megatron_lm_345m) checkpoints for use to evaluate or finetuning downstream tasks. To access these checkpoints, first [sign up](https://ngc.nvidia.com/signup) for and [setup](https://ngc.nvidia.com/setup/installers/cli) the NVIDIA GPU Cloud (NGC) Registry CLI. Further documentation for downloading models can be found in the [NGC documentation](https://docs.nvidia.com/dgx/ngc-registry-cli-user-guide/index.html#topic_6_4_1).
