Bagua: An Open‑Source Distributed Training Framework for Deep Learning

Bagua is a distributed training framework co‑developed by Kuaishou and ETH Zürich that combines algorithmic and system‑level optimizations—such as decentralized, asynchronous, and compressed communication—to achieve up to 60% higher performance than existing frameworks like PyTorch‑DDP, Horovod, and BytePS across various AI workloads.
