Bump Base Image

Category: Engineering · Sub-category: devops · Last updated: 2026-05-25

tool:docker tool:gitlab

Bump the NVIDIA PyTorch base image (`nvcr.io/nvidia/pytorch:<YY.MM>-py3`) used by Megatron-LM CI. Covers the two pin sites (GitHub CI in `docker/.ngc_version.dev` and GitLab CI in `.gitlab/stages/01.build.yml`), the post-bump CI loop (re-run functional tests, refresh golden values, mark broken tests), and the gotchas that bit PRs #4611 and #4688.

From the source SKILL.md

End-to-end workflow for moving Megatron-LM's CI to a newer nvcr.io/nvidia/pytorch:<YY.MM>-py3 container. The most common failure mode is forgetting that GitHub CI and GitLab CI have separate pins — a bump that only touches the former lands green, then breaks GitLab CI on main and forces an immediate follow-up PR. Always update both in the same PR.
