+## Using Distributed Training
+
+If you have multiple GPUs on one machine, or a cluster of GPU-enabled
+machines, you can activate distributed training. See the [HuggingFace
+Accelerate pages](https://huggingface.co/docs/accelerate/index) for
+full information, but the basic recipe is:
+
+1. Enter the InvokeAI developer's console command line by selecting
+option [8] from the `invoke.sh`/`invoke.bat` script.
+
+2. Configurate Accelerate using `accelerate config`:
+```sh
+accelerate config
+```
+This will guide you through the configuration process, including
+specifying how many machines you will run training on and the number
+of GPUs pe rmachine.
+
+You only need to do this once.
+
+3. Launch training from the command line using `accelerate launch`. Be sure
+that your current working directory is the InvokeAI root directory (usually
+named `invokeai` in your home directory):
+
+```sh
+accelerate launch .venv/bin/invokeai-ti \
+       --model=stable-diffusion-1.5 \
+       --resolution=512 \
+       --learnable_property=object \

+       --mixed_precision=fp16 \

+```

 ## Using Embeddings
 
 After training completes, the resultant embeddings will be saved into your `$INVOKEAI_ROOT/embeddings/<trigger word>/learned_embeds.bin`.
