Kebo developed and delivered Data-Parallel Mixture-of-Experts (DP-MoE) support within Zero-Cost Checkpointing (ZCC) for the PaddlePaddle/PaddleNLP repository, focusing on scalable deep learning optimization and distributed systems. Using Python, Kebo integrated expert-parallel and data-parallel model handling, enhanced global expert ID management, and implemented IO sharding for distributed state synchronization. The work included updating ZCC’s EMA checkpoint loading to ensure correct state_dict restoration in expert-parallel setups and maintaining consistent optimizer state across data-parallel ranks. This feature enables more efficient memory usage and reliable checkpointing for large models, laying a foundation for robust, large-scale model training and deployment workflows.
