This is a copy of the original [BLOOM weights](https://huggingface.co/bigscience/bloom) that is more efficient to use with the [DeepSpeed-MII](https://github.com/microsoft/deepspeed-mii) and [DeepSpeed-Inference](https://www.deepspeed.ai/tutorials/inference-tutorial/). In this repo the original tensors are split into 8 shards to target 8 GPUs, this allows the user to run the model with DeepSpeed-inference Tensor Parallelism.
For specific details about the BLOOM model itself, please see the [original BLOOM model card](https://huggingface.co/bigscience/bloom).
For examples on using this repo please see the following:
