+## Pipeline Parallelism
+DeepSpeed provides [pipeline parallelism](/tutorials/pipeline/) for memory-
+and communication- efficient training. DeepSpeed supports a hybrid
+combination of data, model, and pipeline parallelism and has scaled to over
+[one trillion parameters using 3D parallelism]({{ site.press_release_v3 }}).
+Pipeline parallelism can also improve communication efficiency and has
+accelerated training by up to 7x on low-banwdith clusters.

 ### Support for Custom Model Parallelism
-DeepSpeed supports all forms of model parallelism including tensor slicing based
-approaches such as the [Megatron-LM](https://github.com/NVIDIA/Megatron-LM), or
-pipelined parallelism approaches such as
-[PipeDream](https://github.com/msr-fiddle/pipedream) and
-[GPipe](https://github.com/kakaobrain/torchgpipe). It does so by only requiring the model
-parallelism framework to provide a *model parallelism unit* (`mpu`) that implements a few
-bookkeeping functionalities:

-We introduce a new technology called ZeRO-Offload to enable **10X bigger model training on a single GPU**. ZeRO-Offload extends ZeRO-2 to leverage both CPU and GPU memory for training large models. Using a machine with **a single GPU**, our users now can run **models of up to 13 billion parameters** without running out of memory, 10x bigger than the existing approaches, while obtaining competitive throughput. This feature democratizes multi-billion-parameter model training and opens the window for many deep learning practitioners to explore bigger and better models.
