-torchtrain contains PyTorch native parallelisms, tools and utilities to train large models.
-
+torchtrain is a native PyTorch library with PyTorch native parallelisms and various training techniques to train large models.
 ## Design Principles
 
-TorchTrain is a native PyTorch library with various training techniques. While it utilizes the PyTorch ecosystem for things like data loading (i.e. HuggingFace datasets), the core functionality is written in PyTorch.

 * Designed to be easy to understand, use and extend for different training purposes.
 * Minimal changes to the model code, when applying 1D/2D or 3D Parallelisms.
