I am Zheng Cai, nickname zigzagcai, and AI Infra engineer, working on (M)LLM pre/post-train and Automatic Kernel Optimization.
I love the general idea of open source (code/knowledge/and others) and love to learn from open source community and try my best to contribute back.
Selected thoughts I have ever written:
- CPU memory optimization when using PyTorch Dataloader over very large-scale datasets: pytorch/pytorch#13246 (comment) — 2024/08
- Analysis of numerical stability between Ring and Tree All-Reduce: NVIDIA/nccl#1055 - 2023/11
- Implement variable-length training with Mamba State Space Models: state-spaces/mamba#244 - 2024/03
- Avoid deadlock when training with ColossalAI over very large-scale GPU clusters: hpcaitech/ColossalAI#5625 - 2024/04
- DeepSeek V3 671B trainable with FSDP+EP by hacking two lines of PyTorch FSDP codes: https://github.com/zigzagcai/DeepSeekV3 - 2025/04
- Support nogil feature in NumPy-1.18.5 in the experimental CPython ecosystem: https://github.com/colesbury/numpy/commit/0d6ef2770268711ee6417792ba0da35fcb264bf5 - 2022/07
- 由A800平台训练InternLM-7B无法收敛引发的思考 - 2023/11
- 支持变长序列的Mamba-1训练 - 2024/08
