+SageMaker Distributed Model Parallel 1.8.0 Release Notes
 ========================================================
 
+*Date: March. 23. 2022*
+
+**New Features**
+
+* Added tensor parallelism support for the `GPT-J model
+  <https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/model_doc/gptj>`_.
+  When using the GPT-J model of Hugging Face Transformers v4.17.0 with
+  tensor parallelism, the SageMaker model parallel library automatically
+  replaces the model with a tensor parallel distributed GPT-J model.
+  For more information, see `Support for Hugging Face Transformer Models
+  <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/latest/dg/model-parallel-extended-features-pytorch-hugging-face.html>`_
+  in the *Amazon SageMaker Model Parallel Training developer guide*.
+
+**Migration to AWS Deep Learning Containers**
+
+This version passed benchmark testing and is migrated to the following AWS Deep Learning Containers:
+
+* HuggingFace 4.17.0 DLC with PyTorch 1.10.2
