ByteDance's Seed open sources the VeOmni framework.

To promote the research and application of large-scale multimodal models, the ByteDance Seed team has released and open-sourced a multimodal PyTorch native training framework called VeOmni. According to the introduction, VeOmni adopts a model-centered distributed training approach, which decouples complex distributed parallel logic from model computation, providing an efficient parallel training solution for multimodal model composition. This approach can significantly reduce engineering costs, improve training efficiency and scalability, and shorten the engineering development time from several weeks to just a few days.
