huggingface-accelerate

Wraps existing PyTorch training scripts with HuggingFace Accelerate (Accelerator class, accelerate config, accelerate launch) so the same code runs on CPU, single GPU, multi-GPU, multi-node, TPU, or Apple MPS. Covers device placement, FP16/BF16/FP8 mixed precision, gradient accumulation, distributed checkpointing, and switching between DDP, DeepSpeed ZeRO, FSDP, and Megatron backends. Use when converting a single-GPU script to multi-GPU, enabling mixed precision, configuring DeepSpeed ZeRO or FSDP, or setting up gradient accumulation. Use when one script must run on different hardware. Not for callback-heavy training loops (use PyTorch Lightning) or multi-node orchestration with hyperparameter tuning (use Ray Train).

# HuggingFace Accelerate - Unified Distributed Training

## Quick start

Accelerate simplifies distributed training to 4 lines of code.

**Installation**:
```bash
pip install accelerate
```

**Convert PyTorch script** (4 lines):
```python
import torch
