Micro-climate predictions: Enabling hyper-local decisions for agriculture and renewables

DeepSpeed MoE powers eight times bigger models using expert-parallelism + ZeRO-Offload compared with expert-parallelism only. A graph shows supported model sizes on NVIDIA A100 GPUs. DeepSpeed MoE scales near-linearly with respect to the number of GPUs. Z-code MoE (10B) consistently outperforms other systems on BLEU scores for an in-house 50 language test dataset.
