Developer Guide

This guide covers the recommended development workflow for Megatron Bridge. Two core principles apply everywhere: build and develop inside containers, and always use uv for package management.

Megatron Bridge depends on CUDA, NCCL, PyTorch with GPU support, Transformer Engine, and optional components like TRT-LLM, vLLM, and DeepEP. Installing these on a bare host is fragile and hard to reproduce. The project ships production-quality Dockerfiles that pin every dependency.

Use the container as your development environment. This guarantees:
