[ColossalChat](https://github.com/hpcaitech/ColossalAI/tree/main/applications/Chat): An open-source solution for cloning [ChatGPT](https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt/) with a complete RLHF pipeline.
- Increase the capacity of the fine-tuning model by up to 3.7 times on a single GPU
- Keep at a sufficiently high running speed

### AIGC
Acceleration of AIGC (AI-Generated Content) models such as [Stable Diffusion v1](https://github.com/CompVis/stable-diffusion) and [Stable Diffusion v2](https://github.com/Stability-AI/stablediffusion).
- [Training](https://github.com/hpcaitech/ColossalAI/tree/main/examples/images/diffusion): Reduce Stable Diffusion memory consumption by up to 5.6x and hardware cost by up to 46x (from A100 to RTX3060).
- [DreamBooth Fine-tuning](https://github.com/hpcaitech/ColossalAI/tree/main/examples/images/dreambooth): Personalize your model using just 3-5 images of the desired subject.
- [FastFold](https://github.com/hpcaitech/FastFold): Accelerating training and inference on GPU Clusters, faster data processing, inference sequence containing more than 10000 residues.
- [PaLM-colossalai](https://github.com/hpcaitech/PaLM-colossalai): Scalable implementation of Google's Pathways Language Model ([PaLM](https://ai.googleblog.com/2022/04/pathways-language-model-palm-scaling-to.html)).
- [Open Pretrained Transformer (OPT)](https://github.com/facebookresearch/metaseq), a 175-Billion parameter AI language model released by Meta, which stimulates AI programmers to perform various downstream tasks and application deployments because of public pre-trained model weights.
Please visit our [documentation](https://www.colossalai.org/) and [examples](https://github.com/hpcaitech/ColossalAI/tree/main/examples) for more details.
- [BLOOM](https://github.com/hpcaitech/EnergonAI/tree/main/examples/bloom): Reduce hardware deployment costs of 176-billion-parameter BLOOM by more than 10 times.
If you encounter any problem with installation, you may want to raise an [issue](https://github.com/hpcaitech/ColossalAI/issues/new/choose) in this repository.
For Users with CUDA 10.2, you can still build ColossalAI from source. However, you need to manually download the cub library and copy it to the corresponding directory.
You can directly pull the docker image from our [DockerHub page](https://hub.docker.com/r/hpcaitech/colossalai). The image is automatically uploaded upon release.
> Building Colossal-AI from scratch requires GPU support, you need to use Nvidia Docker Runtime as the default when doing `docker build`. More details can be found [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59691207/docker-build-with-nvidia-runtime).
> We recommend you install Colossal-AI from our [project page](https://www.colossalai.org) directly.
and [WeChat(微信)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hpcaitech/public_assets/main/colossalai/img/WeChat.png "qrcode") to share your suggestions, feedback, and questions with our engineering team.
Referring to the successful attempts of [BLOOM](https://bigscience.huggingface.co/) and [Stable Diffusion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stable_Diffusion), any and all developers and partners with computing powers, datasets, models are welcome to join and build the Colossal-AI community, making efforts towards the era of big AI models!
You may contact us or participate in the following ways:
