 ## Introduction
-Apart from the widely adopted Adam and SGD, many modern optimizers require layer-wise statistics to efficiently update parameters, and are thus not directly applicable to parallel settings where model layers are sharded across multiple devices. We provide optimized distributed implementations with minimal extra communications, and seamless integrations with Tensor Parallel, DDP and ZeRO using plugins.

 ## Optimizers
 Adafactor is a first-order Adam variant using Non-negative Matrix Factorization(NMF) to reduce memory footprint. CAME improves by introducting a confidence matrix to correct NMF. GaLore further reduces memory by projecting gradients into a low-rank space and 8-bit block-wise quantization. Lamb allows huge batch sizes without lossing accuracy via layer-wise adaptive update bounded by the inverse of its Lipschiz constant.

 ## 优化器
 Adafactor 是一种首次采用非负矩阵分解（NMF）的 Adam 变体，用于减少内存占用。CAME 通过引入一个置信度矩阵来改进 NMF 的效果。GaLore 通过将梯度投影到低秩空间，并使用 8 位块状量化进一步减少内存占用。Lamb 允许使用巨大的批量大小而不失准确性，通过按其 Lipschitz 常数的倒数界定的逐层自适应更新实现
