-Sharded Layers
--------------
-
-:class:`AllToShardedLinear <mlx.nn.AllToShardedLinear>`
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-This layer replicates a common input and shards the weight matrix along the
-output dimension across all devices in the :class:`mlx.core.distributed.Group`.
-The layer produces a sharded output.
-
-For example, consider an :class:`mlx.nn.AllToShardedLinear` layer with
-``input_dims=2`` and ``output_dims=2``, a batched input of shape ``(4, 2)``,
-and a device group with 2 devices. The layer shards the weight matrix along the
-output dimension across the two devices, where each device receives the full
-input and computes a partial output.

-
-:class:`QuantizedAllToShardedLinear <mlx.nn.QuantizedAllToShardedLinear>` is
-the quantized equivalent of :class:`mlx.nn.AllToShardedLinear`.  Similar to
-:class:`mlx.nn.QuantizedLinear`, its parameters are frozen and will not be
-included in any gradient computation.
-
-
-:class:`ShardedToAllLinear <mlx.nn.ShardedToAllLinear>`
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-This layer expects inputs that are sharded along the feature dimension and
-shards the weight matrix along the input dimension across all devices in the
-:class:`mlx.core.distributed.Group`. The layer automatically aggregates the
-results using :class:`mlx.core.distributed.all_sum`, so all devices in the
-group will have the same result.
-
-For example, consider an :class:`mlx.nn.ShardedToAllLinear` layer with
-``input_dims=2`` and ``output_dims=2``, a batched input of shape ``(4, 2)``,
-and a device group with 2 devices. The layer shards the weight matrix along the
-input dimension across the two devices. Each device computes a ``(4,2)``
-output, which is then aggregated with all other device outputs to get layer
-output.

-
-This layer does not automatically shard the inputs along the feature dimension
-for you. It is necessary to create a "partial" input structure to feed into the
-layer. This is an intended and :ref:`useful design choice
-<useful_design_choices>`.

-
-Shard Utility Functions
-----------------------
-
-:func:`shard_linear <mlx.nn.layers.distributed.shard_linear>`
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Converts a regular linear layer into a tensor parallel layer that distributes
-computation across multiple devices. Takes an existing :class:`mlx.nn.Linear`
-or :class:`mlx.nn.QuantizedLinear` layer and returns a new distributed layer
-(either :class:`mlx.nn.AllToShardedLinear` or
-:class:`mlx.nn.ShardedToAllLinear`, depending on the sharding type). The
-original layer is not modified.
-
-:func:`shard_inplace <mlx.nn.layers.distributed.shard_inplace>`
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Splits the parameters of an existing layer across multiple devices by modifying
-the layer in-place. Unlike :func:`shard_linear
-<mlx.nn.layers.distributed.shard_linear>`, this function does not create a new
-layer or add distributed communication. The layer itself must handle
-distributed communication if needed.
-
-
-.. _useful_design_choices:
-
-Useful Design Choices
---------------------
-
-The design choices above regarding when operations are done automatically are intentional and make model training and inference easier.
-
-All-to-sharded and sharded-to-all layers naturally go together because the
-output of the former layer is exactly the input needed needed for the latter.
-This removes the need for an intermediate gather step between the layers,
-reducing communication overhead.
-
-This is why :class:`mlx.nn.AllToShardedLinear` does not aggregate results
-automatically and why :class:`mlx.nn.ShardedToAllLinear` does not shard inputs
-automatically. It is so that they can be placed in successive order and work
-together easily.
-
-We can demonstrate this through a simple model using our two types of
-distributed layers.
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-  x = ... # some (4, 2) model input: batch size 4, feature size 2
-
-  l1 = nn.AllToShardedLinear(2, 2, bias=False)   # initialize the layer
-  l1_out = l1(x) # (4, 1) output
-
-  l2 = nn.ShardedToAllLinear(2, 2, bias=False)
-  l2_out = l2(l1_out) # (4, 2) output

-
-
-LLM Inference with Tensor Parallelism
-------------------------------------
-
-We can apply these TP techniques to LLMs in order to enable inference for much
-larger models by sharding parameters from huge layers across multiple devices.
-
-To demonstrate this, let's apply TP to the Transformer block of our :doc:`Llama
-Inference <llama-inference>` example. In this example, we will use the same
-inference script as the Llama Inference example, which can be found in
-`mlx-examples`_.
-
-Our first edit is to initialize the distributed communication group and get the
-current process rank:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-  world = mx.distributed.init()
-  rank = world.rank()
-
-Next, let's look at the current architecture of the transformer block and see how we can apply tensor parallelism:
-
-.. raw:: html
-
-    <div>
-      <img src="../_static/tp_inference/llama-transformer.png" alt="llama transformer example" style="width: 100%">
-    </div>
-
-
-This architecture has two natural places where 
-tensor parallelism can be applied: the attention block and the FFN
-block. Both follow the same pattern: multiple parallel linear layers operating
-on the same input, followed by a single output linear layer. In the attention
-block, the Q, K, and V projections are sharded along the output dimension (all-to-sharded), and the output
-projection is sharded along the input dimension (sharded-to-all). Similarly in the FFN block, the gate and up projections
-become all-to-sharded layers, and the down projection becomes an sharded-to-all layer.
-
-The intermediate operations between the linear layers (RoPE, softmax, scaled
-dot-product attention in the attention block, and element-wise multiplication
-in the FFN block) do not impede the use of our TP paradigm. These operations
-are either:
-
- **Element-wise operations** (RoPE, element-wise multiplication): These
-  operate independently on each element or position, preserving the sharding
-  pattern without requiring cross-device communication.
-
- **Operations on non-sharded dimensions** (softmax, scaled dot-product
-  attention): These operate along dimensions that are not sharded (such as the
-  sequence length or head dimensions), so they can be computed independently on
-  each device. The attention computation ``Q @ K^T`` and ``scores @ V`` work
-  correctly with sharded Q, K, V tensors because the matrix multiplications are
-  performed along the sharded feature dimension, and the results remain
-  properly sharded for the subsequent sharded-to-all layer.
-
-To implement sharding in our Llama inference, we use :func:`shard_linear
-<mlx.nn.layers.distributed.shard_linear>` to get sharded linear layers with
-distributed communication. This is easier than using :func:`shard_inplace
-<mlx.nn.layers.distributed.shard_inplace>` and implementing the steps manually
-in the :code:`__call__` function.
-
-The following code shows how to shard the Attention block. The Q, K, and V
-projection layers are converted to all-to-sharded layers, while the output
-projection is converted to a sharded-to-all layer. The number of heads are also
-adjusted to account for the sharding:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-

- :ref:`Tensor Parallelism <tensor_parallelism>`
+In this section we will adapt an MLX training loop to support data parallel
+distributed training. Namely, we will average the gradients across a set of
+hosts before applying them to the model.

-.. _ring_section:
+Our training loop looks like the following code snippet if we omit the model,
+dataset and optimizer initialization.
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    model = ...
+    optimizer = ...
+    dataset = ...
+
+    def step(model, x, y):

+
+    for x, y in dataset:
+        loss = step(model, x, y)
+        mx.eval(loss, model.parameters())
+
+All we have to do to average the gradients across machines is perform an
+:func:`all_sum` and divide by the size of the :class:`Group`. Namely we
+have to :func:`mlx.utils.tree_map` the gradients with following function.
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    def all_avg(x):
+        return mx.distributed.all_sum(x) / mx.distributed.init().size()
+
+Putting everything together our training loop step looks as follows with

+

+    from mlx.utils import tree_map
+
+    def all_reduce_grads(grads):
+        N = mx.distributed.init().size()

+        return loss
+
+Utilizing ``nn.average_gradients``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Although the code example above works correctly; it performs one communication
+per gradient. It is significantly more efficient to aggregate several gradients
+together and perform fewer communication steps.
+
+This is the purpose of :func:`mlx.nn.average_gradients`. The final code looks

+    for x, y in dataset:
+        loss = step(model, x, y)
+        mx.eval(loss, model.parameters())
+
+
+Getting Started with MPI
+------------------------
+
+MLX already comes with the ability to "talk" to MPI if it is installed on the
+machine. Launching distributed MLX programs that use MPI can be done with
+``mpirun`` as expected. However, in the following examples we will be using
+``mlx.launch --backend mpi`` which takes care of some nuisances such as setting
+absolute paths for the ``mpirun`` executable and the ``libmpi.dyld`` shared
+library.
+
+The simplest possible usage is the following which, assuming the minimal
+example in the beginning of this page, should result in:
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+    $ mlx.launch --backend mpi -n 2 test.py
+    1 array([2, 2, 2, ..., 2, 2, 2], dtype=float32)
+    0 array([2, 2, 2, ..., 2, 2, 2], dtype=float32)
+
+The above launches two processes on the same (local) machine and we can see
+both standard output streams. The processes send the array of 1s to each other
+and compute the sum which is printed. Launching with ``mlx.launch -n 4 ...`` would
+print 4 etc.
+
+Installing MPI
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+MPI can be installed with Homebrew, using the Anaconda package manager or
+compiled from source. Most of our testing is done using ``openmpi`` installed
+with the Anaconda package manager as follows:
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+    $ conda install conda-forge::openmpi
+
+Installing with Homebrew may require specifying the location of ``libmpi.dyld``
+so that MLX can find it and load it at runtime. This can simply be achieved by
+passing the ``DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH`` environment variable to ``mpirun`` and it is
+done automatically by ``mlx.launch``.
+
+.. code:: shell
+
+    $ mpirun -np 2 -x DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/homebrew/lib/ python test.py
+    $ # or simply
+    $ mlx.launch -n 2 test.py
+
+Setting up Remote Hosts
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+MPI can automatically connect to remote hosts and set up the communication over
+the network if the remote hosts can be accessed via ssh. A good checklist to
+debug connectivity issues is the following:
+
+* ``ssh hostname`` works from all machines to all machines without asking for
+  password or host confirmation
+* ``mpirun`` is accessible on all machines.
+* Ensure that the ``hostname`` used by MPI is the one that you have configured
+  in the ``.ssh/config`` files on all machines.
+
+Tuning MPI All Reduce
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. note::
+
+    For faster all reduce consider using the ring backend either with Thunderbolt
+    connections or over Ethernet.
+
+Configure MPI to use N tcp connections between each host to improve bandwidth
+by passing ``--mca btl_tcp_links N``.
+
+Force MPI to use the most performant network interface by setting ``--mca
+btl_tcp_if_include <iface>`` where ``<iface>`` should be the interface you want
+to use.

-
-Getting Started with JACCL
--------------------------
-
-Starting from macOS 26.2, RDMA over thunderbolt is available and
-enables low-latency communication between Macs with thunderbolt 5. MLX provides
-the JACCL backend that uses this functionality to achieve communication latency
-an order of magnitude lower than the ring backend.
-
-.. note::
-
-   The name JACCL (pronounced Jackal) stands for *Jack and Angelos' Collective
-   Communication Library* and it is an obvious pun to Nvidia's NCCL but also
-   tribute to *Jack Beasley* who led the development of RDMA over Thunderbolt
-   at Apple.
-
-Enabling RDMA
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Until the feature matures, enabling RDMA over thunderbolt is slightly more
-involved and **cannot** be done remotely even with sudo. In fact, it has to be
-done in macOS recovery:
-
-1. `Start your computer in recovery <https://support.apple.com/en-us/102518>`_.
-2. Open the Terminal by going to Utilities -> Terminal.
-3. Run ``rdma_ctl enable``.
-4. Reboot.
-
-To verify that you have successfully enabled Thunderbolt RDMA you can run
-``ibv_devices`` which should produce something like the following for an M3 Ultra.
-
-.. code-block:: bash
-
-    ~ % ibv_devices
-    device          	   node GUID

-    rdma_en7        	8596a9d9edbaac05
-
-Defining a Mesh
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-The JACCL backend supports only fully connected topologies. Namely, there needs
-to be a thunderbolt cable connecting all pairs of Macs directly. For example, in
-the following topology visualizations, the left one is valid because there is a
-connection from any node to any other node, while for the one on the right M3
-Ultra 1 is not connected to M3 Ultra 2.

-Similar to the ring backend, the easiest way to use JACCL with MLX is to write
-a JSON hostfile that will be used by ``mlx.launch``. The hostfile needs to contain
-
- Hostnames to use for launching scripts via ssh
- An IP for rank 0 that is reachable by all nodes
- A list of rdma devices that connect each node to each other node
-
-The following JSON defines the valid 4-node mesh from the image above.
-
-.. code-block:: json
-
-    [
-        {
-            "ssh": "m3-ultra-1",
-            "ips": ["123.123.123.1"],
-            "rdma": [null, "rdma_en5", "rdma_en4", "rdma_en3"]
-        },
-        {
-            "ssh": "m3-ultra-2",
-            "ips": [],
-            "rdma": ["rdma_en5", null, "rdma_en3", "rdma_en4"]
-        },
-        {
-            "ssh": "m3-ultra-3",
-            "ips": [],
-            "rdma": ["rdma_en4", "rdma_en3", null, "rdma_en5"]
-        },
-        {
-            "ssh": "m3-ultra-4",
-            "ips": [],
-            "rdma": ["rdma_en3", "rdma_en4", "rdma_en5", null]
-        }
-    ]
-
-Even though TCP/IP is not used when communicating with Thunderbolt RDMA,
-disabling the thunderbolt bridge is still required as well as setting up
-isolated local networks for each thunderbolt connection.
-
-All of the above can be done instead via ``mlx.distributed_config``. This helper
-script will
-
- ssh into each node
- extract the thunderbolt connectivity
- check for a valid mesh
- provide the commands to configure each node (or run them if sudo is available)
- generate the hostfile to be used with ``mlx.launch``
-
-Putting It All Together
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-For example launching a distributed MLX script that uses JACCL is fairly simple
-if the nodes are reachable via ssh and have password-less sudo.
-
-First, connect all the thunderbolt cables. Then we can verify the connections
-by using the ``mlx.distributed_config`` script to visualize them.
-
-.. code-block::
-
-   mlx.distributed_config --verbose \
-        --hosts m3-ultra-1,m3-ultra-2,m3-ultra-3,m3-ultra-4 \
-        --over thunderbolt --dot | dot -Tpng | open -f -a Preview
-
-After making sure that everything looks right we can auto-configure the nodes
-and save the hostfile to ``m3-ultra-jaccl.json`` by running:
-
-.. code-block::
-
-   mlx.distributed_config --verbose \
-        --hosts m3-ultra-1,m3-ultra-2,m3-ultra-3,m3-ultra-4 \
-        --over thunderbolt --backend jaccl \
-        --auto-setup --output m3-ultra-jaccl.json
-
-And now we are ready to run a distributed MLX script such as distributed inference
-of a gigantic model using MLX LM.
-
-.. code-block::
-
-   mlx.launch --verbose --backend jaccl --hostfile m3-ultra-jaccl.json \
-        --env MLX_METAL_FAST_SYNCH=1 -- \  # <--- important
-        /path/to/remote/python -m mlx_lm chat --model mlx-community/DeepSeek-R1-0528-4bit
-
-.. note::
-
-   Defining the environment variable ``MLX_METAL_FAST_SYNCH=1`` enables a
-   different, faster way of synchronizing between the GPU and the CPU. It is
-   not specific to the JACCL backend and can be used in all cases where the CPU
-   and GPU need to collaborate for some computation and is pretty critical for
-   low-latency communication since the communication is done by the CPU.
-
-.. _nccl_section:
-
-Getting Started with NCCL
-------------------------
-
-MLX on CUDA environments ships with the ability to talk to `NCCL
-<https://developer.nvidia.com/nccl>`_ which is a high-performance collective
-communication library that supports both multi-gpu and multi-node setups.
-
-For CUDA environments, NCCL is the default backend for ``mlx.launch`` and all
-it takes to run a distributed job is
-
-.. code-block::
-
-   mlx.launch -n 8 test.py
-
-   # perfect for interactive scripts
-   mlx.launch -n 8 python -m mlx_lm chat --model my-model
-
-You can also use ``mlx.launch`` to ssh to a remote node and launch a script
-with the same ease
-
-.. code-block::
-
-   mlx.launch --hosts my-cuda-node -n 8 test.py
-
-In many cases you may not want to use ``mlx.launch`` with the NCCL backend
-because the cluster scheduler will be the one launching the processes. You can
-:ref:`see which environment variables need to be defined <no_mlx_launch>` in
-order for the MLX NCCL backend to be initialized correctly.
-
-.. _mpi_section:
-
-Getting Started with MPI
------------------------
-
-MLX already comes with the ability to "talk" to `MPI
-<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_Passing_Interface>`_ if it is installed
-on the machine. Launching distributed MLX programs that use MPI can be done
-with ``mpirun`` as expected. However, in the following examples we will be
-using ``mlx.launch --backend mpi`` which takes care of some nuisances such as
-setting absolute paths for the ``mpirun`` executable and the ``libmpi.dyld``
-shared library.
-
-The simplest possible usage is the following which, assuming the minimal
-example in the beginning of this page, should result in:
-
-.. code:: shell
-
-    $ mlx.launch --backend mpi -n 2 test.py
-    1 array([2, 2, 2, ..., 2, 2, 2], dtype=float32)
-    0 array([2, 2, 2, ..., 2, 2, 2], dtype=float32)
-
-The above launches two processes on the same (local) machine and we can see
-both standard output streams. The processes send the array of 1s to each other
-and compute the sum which is printed. Launching with ``mlx.launch -n 4 ...`` would
-print 4 etc.
-
-Installing MPI
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-MPI can be installed with Homebrew, pip, using the Anaconda package manager, or
-compiled from source. Most of our testing is done using ``openmpi`` installed
-with the Anaconda package manager as follows:
-
-.. code:: shell
-
-    $ conda install conda-forge::openmpi
-
-Installing with Homebrew or pip requires specifying the location of ``libmpi.dyld``
-so that MLX can find it and load it at runtime. This can simply be achieved by
-passing the ``DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH`` environment variable to ``mpirun`` and it is
-done automatically by ``mlx.launch``. Some environments use a non-standard
-library filename that can be specified using the ``MPI_LIBNAME`` environment
-variable. This is automatically taken care of by ``mlx.launch`` as well.
-
-.. code:: shell
-
-    $ mpirun -np 2 -x DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/homebrew/lib/ -x MPI_LIBNAME=libmpi.40.dylib python test.py
-    $ # or simply
-    $ mlx.launch -n 2 test.py
-
-Setting up Remote Hosts
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-MPI can automatically connect to remote hosts and set up the communication over
-the network if the remote hosts can be accessed via ssh. A good checklist to
-debug connectivity issues is the following:
-
-* ``ssh hostname`` works from all machines to all machines without asking for
-  password or host confirmation
-* ``mpirun`` is accessible on all machines.
-* Ensure that the ``hostname`` used by MPI is the one that you have configured
-  in the ``.ssh/config`` files on all machines.
-
-Tuning MPI All Reduce
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-.. note::
-
-    For faster all reduce consider using the ring backend either with Thunderbolt
-    connections or over Ethernet.
-
-Configure MPI to use N tcp connections between each host to improve bandwidth
-by passing ``--mca btl_tcp_links N``.
-
-Force MPI to use the most performant network interface by setting ``--mca
-btl_tcp_if_include <iface>`` where ``<iface>`` should be the interface you want
-to use.
-
-.. _no_mlx_launch:
-
-Distributed Without ``mlx.launch``
----------------------------------
-
-None of the implementations of the distributed backends require launching with
-``mlx.launch``. The script simply connects to each host. Starts a process per
-rank and sets up the necessary environment variables before delegating to your
-MLX script. See the :doc:`dedicated documentation page <launching_distributed>`
-for more details.
-
-For many use-cases this will be the easiest way to perform distributed
-computations in MLX. However, there may be reasons that you cannot or should
-not use ``mlx.launch``. A common such case is the use of a scheduler that
-starts all the processes for you on machines undetermined at the time of
-scheduling the job.
-
-Below we list the environment variables required to use each backend.
-
-Ring
-^^^^^^
-
-**MLX_RANK** should contain a single 0-based integer that defines the rank of
-the process.
-
-**MLX_HOSTFILE** should contain the path to a json file that contains IPs and
-ports for each rank to listen to, something like the following:
-
-.. code-block:: json
-
-   [
-     ["123.123.1.1:5000", "123.123.1.2:5000"],

-     ["123.123.4.1:5000", "123.123.4.2:5000"]
-   ]
-
-**MLX_RING_VERBOSE** is optional and if set to 1 it enables some more logging
-from the distributed backend.
-
-JACCL
-^^^^^
-
-**MLX_RANK** should contain a single 0-based integer that defines the rank of
-the process.
-
-**MLX_JACCL_COORDINATOR** should contain the IP and port that rank 0 can listen
-to all the other ranks connect to in order to establish the RDMA connections.
-
-**MLX_IBV_DEVICES** should contain the path to a json file that contains the
-ibverbs device names that connect each node to each other node, something like
-the following:
-
-.. code-block:: json
-
-   [
-      [null, "rdma_en5", "rdma_en4", "rdma_en3"],
-      ["rdma_en5", null, "rdma_en3", "rdma_en4"],
-      ["rdma_en4", "rdma_en3", null, "rdma_en5"],
-      ["rdma_en3", "rdma_en4", "rdma_en5", null]
-   ]
-
-
-NCCL
-^^^^^
-
-**MLX_RANK** should contain a single 0-based integer that defines the rank of
-the process.
-
-**MLX_WORLD_SIZE** should contain the total number of processes that will be
-launched.
-
-**NCCL_HOST_IP** and **NCCL_PORT** should contain the IP and port that all
-hosts can connect to to establish the NCCL communication.
-
-**CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES** should contain the local index of the gpu that
-corresponds to this process.
-
-Of course any `other environment variable
-<https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/nccl/user-guide/docs/env.html>`_ that is
-used by NCCL can be set.
-
-.. _tips_and_tricks:
-
-Tips and Tricks
----------------
-
-This is a small collection of tips to help you utilize better the distributed
-communication capabilities of MLX.
-
- *Test locally first.*
-
-  You can use the pattern ``mlx.launch -n2 -- my_script.py`` to run a small
-  scale test on a single node first.
-
- *Batch your communication.*
-
-  As described in the :ref:`training example <training_example>`, performing a
-  lot of small communications can hurt performance. Copy the approach of
-  :func:`mlx.nn.average_gradients` to gather many small communications in a
-  single large one.
-
- *Visualize the connectivity.*
-
-  Use ``mlx.distributed_config --hosts h1,h2,h3 --over thunderbolt --dot`` to
-  visualize the connnections and make sure that the cables are connected
-  correctly. See the :ref:`JACCL section <jaccl_section>` for examples.
-
- *Use the debugger.*
-
-  ``mlx.launch`` is meant for interactive use. It broadcasts stdin to all
-  processes and gathers stdout from all processes. This makes using ``pdb`` a
-  breeze.

-``mlx.distributed_config`` 
---------------------------
-
-Unless you are launching distributed jobs locally for development or multi-gpu
-CUDA environments, then you have several Macs that you need to configure for
-distributed communication with MLX.
-
-``mlx.distributed_config`` aims to automate the process of configuring the
-network interfaces (especially for communication over thunderbolt) and also
-creating the hostfile to be used with ``mlx.launch``.
-
-We will analyse 3 cases of using ``mlx.distributed_config``
-
-1. RDMA over thunderbolt using JACCL
-2. TCP/IP over thunderbolt using the ring backend
-3. TCP/IP over ethernet using the ring backend
-
-JACCL
-^^^^^^^
-
-After following :ref:`the steps to enable RDMA <jaccl_section>` you can run the
-following command to configure the nodes and create the hostfile.
-
-.. code-block::
-
-   mlx.distributed_config --verbose --backend jaccl \
-        --hosts m3-ultra-1,m3-ultra-2,m3-ultra-3,m3-ultra-4 --over thunderbolt \
-        --auto-setup --output m3-ultra-jaccl.json
-
-Let's walk through the steps that the script takes to configure the nodes.
-
-1. ssh to all nodes to verify that they are reachable
-2. Extract the thunderbolt connectivity. Namely run commands on each node to
-   calculate which node is connected to which other node.
-3. Verify that we have a valid fully connected mesh
-4. Check that RDMA is enabled
-5. Extract the ethernet IP from interface en0
-6. Disable the thunderbolt bridge and set up peer to peer networks for each
-   thunderbolt cable
-7. Write the hostfile
-
-Knowing the above steps allows you to manually configure the nodes but also
-debug any configuration issue. For instance changing the Ethernet IP to a
-different interface directly in the config is possible (as long as it is
-reachable from all nodes).
-
-The ``--auto-setup`` argument requires password-less sudo on each node. If it
-isn't available then the configuration script will print commands to be run on
-each node.
-
-Ring over thunderbolt
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Setting up a ring backend over thunderbolt only requires changing the
-``--backend`` from ``jaccl`` to ``ring``.
-
-The steps are very similar with the main difference being that instead of
-verifying that the nodes are fully connected, the script attempts to identify a
-ring topology (or multiple rings).
-
-Ring over Ethernet
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Configuring the ring backend over ethernet doesn't require setting up network
-interface and as such it simply extracts the ``en0`` IP from each node and
-writes the hostfile.
-
-Debugging cable connections
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-``mlx.distributed_config`` can help you debug the connectivity of your nodes
-over thunderbolt by exporting a graph of the connections.
