Decision brief
Nanotron specializes in minimalistic large language model 3D-parallelism training via efficient distributed computing techniques.
Good fit when
- You aim to implement 3D-parallelism for large language models with minimal code complexity and high efficiency.
- Your project is centered around Python and you are looking to optimize distributed training processes without the extra bloat.
Avoid when
- You require robust integration capabilities that come with larger, more feature-rich training frameworks.
- Need extensive out-of-the-box solutions for common data processing tasks as Nanotron focuses narrowly on parallelism and efficient computing, potentially missing broader functionalities.

Installation
To run the code in this project, first create a Python virtual environment using e.g. uv:
uv venv nanotron --python 3.11 && source nanotron/bin/activate && uv pip install --upgrade pip
[!TIP] For Hugging Face cluster users, add
export UV_LINK_MODE=copyto your.bashrcto suppress cache warnings fromuv
Next, install Pytorch:
uv pip install torch --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu124
Then install the core dependencies with:
uv pip install -e .
To run the example scripts, install the remaining dependencies as follows:
uv pip install datasets transformers datatrove[io] numba wandb
