Useful fine-tuning framework comparison fixes a key EP vs CP misconception
StasBekman · x · 2026-07-26
A useful comparison of popular fine-tuning frameworks, with one important correction: EP does not have to be mutually exclusive with CP.
The post notes that ALST/SP works fine with EP, and because SP overlaps with DP, you can run EP=8 plus SP=8 on a single node and still reach a 2M sequence length even with a 30B MoE model. The main critique is that the article often quotes “max” numbers without specifying whether they assume one GPU or many, or what GPU size is being used.
