Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00083 | $0.02641 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00042 | $0.01321 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00528 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00264 |
Grade A, and why
distributed-llm-pretraining-torchtitan scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
This is a copy
95% identical to distributed-llm-pretraining-torchtitan — 5 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

TorchTitan - PyTorch Native Distributed LLM Pretraining
Quick start
TorchTitan is PyTorch's official platform for large-scale LLM pretraining with composable 4D parallelism (FSDP2, TP, PP, CP), achieving 65%+ speedups over baselines on H100 GPUs.
Installation:
# From PyPI (stable)
pip install torchtitan
# From source (latest features, requires PyTorch nightly)
git clone https://github.com/pytorch/torchtitan
cd torchtitan
pip install -r requirements.txt
Download tokenizer:
# Get HF token from https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens
python scripts/download_hf_assets.py --repo_id meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B --assets tokenizer --hf_token=...
Start training on 8 GPUs:
CONFIG_FILE="./torchtitan/models/llama3/train_configs/llama3_8b.toml" ./run_train.sh
Common workflows
Workflow 1: Pretrain Llama 3.1 8B on single node
Copy this checklist:
Single Node Pretraining:
- [ ] Step 1: Download tokenizer
- [ ] Step 2: Configure training
- [ ] Step 3: Launch training
- [ ] Step 4: Monitor and checkpoint
Step 1: Download tokenizer
python scripts/download_hf_assets.py \
--repo_id meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B \
--assets tokenizer \
--hf_token=YOUR_HF_TOKEN
Step 2: Configure training
Edit or create a TOML config file:
# llama3_8b_custom.toml
[job]
dump_folder = "./outputs"
description = "Llama 3.1 8B training"
[model]
name = "llama3"
flavor = "8B"
hf_assets_path = "./assets/hf/Llama-3.1-8B"
[optimizer]
name = "AdamW"
lr = 3e-4
[lr_scheduler]
warmup_steps = 200
[training]
local_batch_size = 2
seq_len = 8192
max_norm = 1.0
steps = 1000
dataset = "c4"
[parallelism]
data_parallel_shard_degree = -1 # Use all GPUs for FSDP
[activation_checkpoint]
mode = "selective"
selective_ac_option = "op"
[checkpoint]
enable = true
folder = "checkpoint"
interval = 500
Step 3: Launch training
# 8 GPUs on single node
CONFIG_FILE="./llama3_8b_custom.toml" ./run_train.sh
# Or explicitly with torchrun
torchrun --nproc_per_node=8 \
-m torchtitan.train \
--job.config_file ./llama3_8b_custom.toml
What ships with it
4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

distributed-llm-pretraining-torchtitan is a skill published in the GitHub repository braxtonROSE4/zorro-agent (8 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 83 tokens to every session and 2,641 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 95% identical to distributed-llm-pretraining-torchtitan, differing in 5 lines, and is treated as a copy.
