This is an intermediate checkpoint of INTELLECT-1. You can find the final version as well as the instruct one

INTELLECT-1 is the first collaboratively trained 10 billion parameter language model trained from scratch on 1 trillion tokens of English text and code.

INTELLECT-1 was trained on up to 14 concurrent nodes distributed across 3 continents, with contributions from 30 independent community contributors providing compute. The training code utilizes the prime framework, a scalable distributed training framework designed for fault-tolerant, dynamically scaling, high-perfomance training on unreliable, globally distributed workers. The key abstraction that allows dynamic scaling is the ElasticDeviceMesh which manages dynamic global process groups for fault-tolerant communication across the internet and local process groups for communication within a node The global all-reduce was done with custom int8 all-reduce kernels to reduce the communication payload required, greatly reducing the communication overhead.
