Mesh-TensorFlow (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;tensorflow&#x2F;mesh" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;tensorflow&#x2F;mesh</a>) solves the problem of networks being too large to fit into a single GPU&#x27;s memory. I just trained a network with &gt; 1 billion parameters across 4 GPUs. Beside size of data set and compute power, representational capacity (size of embeddings) is a key blocker to learning, and so this library opens up new possibilities for many of us.
