Butterfly is a distributed inference system for transformers and large language models. It solves LLM scaling problems by distributing inference across multiple nodes, enabling efficient computation for models too large for single machines. Butterfly uses novel algorithms for partitioning transformers and minimizing communication overhead.

Stars, PRs, issues and forks are under-captured in the later part of this window. GH Archive progressively stopped capturing non-push events during 2026 — −95% or worse by the end of the window. Every series here except Pushes fades for that reason, so a decline above reflects the archive, not this repository. Pushes stay reliable throughout, so read them, and the contributor counts derived from them, as the real signal. Data health has the measurements.

Totals cover only the window loaded into ClickHouse and count events, not GitHub's lifetime totals — 0 stars here means stars gained during the window, not the repo's star count.
