+models.gpt package
+==================
+This is the implementation of the popular GPT model. It supports several features like model parallelization (Tensor Parallel, Pipeline Parallel, Data Parallel) , mixture of experts, FP8 , Distributed optimizer etc. We are constantly adding new features. So be on the lookout or raise an issue if you want to have something added.

+Multi-Latent Attention
+======================
+
+Multi-Latent Attention overview 
+-------------------------------
+
+Multi-Latent Attention ("MLA") is an innovative attention mechanism introduced by Deepseek team that enhances the efficiency of attention computation by leveraging multiple latent spaces. This approach is particularly beneficial for large language models (LLMs), as it reduces the computational burden associated with traditional attention mechanisms. According to Deepseek-V2 technical report, MLA achieves better performance compared to Multi-Head Attention (MHA) and requires smaller KV cache.
+
+Enabling Multi-Latent Attention
+-------------------------------
+
+To enable MLA in Megatron-LM, set the following flags in command line:
+- `--multi-latent-attention` to enable MLA in MLP.
+- Set `MLATransformerConfig` to configure MLA.

+# Multi-Token Prediction (MTP)
+
+Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) extends the prediction scope to multiple future tokens at each position. On the one hand, an MTP objective densifies the training signals and may improve
+data efficiency. On the other hand, MTP may enable the model to pre-plan its representations for better prediction of future tokens. In this implementation of MTP, we sequentially predict additional tokens and keep the complete causal chain at each prediction depth. The following figure illustrates our implementation of MTP in [DeepSeek-V3](https://github.com/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3/).
+
+![MTP_implementation](../images/multi_token_prediction/MTP_implementation.png)
+
+The k-th MTP module consists of a shared embedding layer, a projection matrix, a Transformer block, and a shared output head. For the i-th input token at the (k - 1)-th prediction depth, we first combine the representation of the i-th token and the embedding of the (i + K)-th token with the linear projection. The combined serves as the input of the Transformer block at the k-th depth to produce the output representation.
+
+For more information, please refer to [DeepSeek-V3 Technical Report](https://github.com/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3/blob/main/DeepSeek_V3.pdf)
+
+## Related Arguments
+
+We can train GPTModel like models with Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) by setting mtp_num_layers to be a positive integer.
+
+| Item | Description |
+| --- | --- |
+| mtp_num_layers | Number of Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) Layers. MTP extends the prediction scope to multiple future tokens at each position. This MTP implementation sequentially predict additional tokens by using D sequential modules to predict D additional tokens. Default is None. |
+| mtp_loss_scaling_factor | Scaling factor of Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) loss. We compute the average of the MTP losses across all depths, and multiply it the scaling factor to obtain the overall MTP loss, which serves as an additional training objective. Default is 0.3. |
+
+## Precautions
+
+Please do not use Context Parallel (CP), or arbitrary AttnMaskType, or learned absolute position embedding type with MTP. These use cases are not yet supported.

+This package contains implementations for two different pipeline parallelism
+schedules (one without interleaving and one with interleaving, see `Efficient
+Large-Scale Language Model Training on GPU Clusters Using Megatron-LM <https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.04473>`_
+for details), and a default no-pipelining schedule. It also contains methods
+for the point-to-point communication that is needed between pipeline stages.

+
+pipeline\_parallel.p2p\_communication module
+--------------------------------------------
+
+Contains implementations for the various point-to-point communication needed
+(e.g., `recv_forward` and `recv_backward`) in the different pipeline parallelism
+schedules.

+
+Contains implementations for two pipeline parallelism schedules

+interleaving, `forward_backward_pipelining_without_interleaving` for pipeline
+parallelism without interleaving) and a default no-pipelining schedule
+(`forward_backward_no_pipelining`). `get_forward_backward_func` returns the right
+scheduling function to use based on the configuration being trained
+(e.g., if pipeline-parallel size is 1, use `forward_backward_no_pipelining`).
