Recurrent attention would not sync. Jon Durbin tried the existing decentralized algorithms, the whole DiLoco family included, and none of them translate. So he built a new sync method into Parallax, exact and fully non-blocking, within 0.6% of the centralized DDP baseline at…

165,335 tokens per second. That is Parallax pre-training a 5B test model on eight consumer RTX 5090s. Optimized DDP training on eight RTX Pro 6000s managed 147,708. Hardware that costs roughly 3x more. Parallax won even on the cheaper hardware.

Numbers are from Jon Durbin's run last week: nitter.net/jon_durbin/status/2082… Parallax is built in the open at chutes.ai
