## Installation

To run the code in this project, first create a Python virtual environment using e.g. `uv`:


```shell
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=copy` to your `.bashrc` to suppress cache warnings from `uv`

Next, install Pytorch:

```shell
uv pip install torch --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu124
```

Then install the core dependencies with:

```shell
uv pip install -e .
```

To run the example scripts, install the remaining dependencies as follows:

```shell
uv pip install datasets transformers datatrove[io] numba wandb
