Descrição

Hello,

Firstly, thank you very much for providing us with a great industry-grade LLM training library.

I've noticed that when `megablox=True`, the logits do not match those of the Huggingface implementation: [link to the specific code](https://github.com/AI-Hypercomputer/maxtext/blob/main/end_to_end/tpu/mixtral/8x7b/2_test_mixtral.sh#L46).

Additionally, when fine-tuning from the mixtral checkpoint, the loss begins higher than expected but rapidly decreases. However, the resulting model weights, when converted back to the Huggingface format, perform poorly on MMLU.

Conversely, when `sparse_matmul=True` and `megablox=False`, the loss starts at a lower level and the resulting Huggingface-converted model performs well on MMLU. Nevertheless, the MFU is approximately 3 times lower with `ragged_dot` than with `megablox`, making training impractical at larger scales.

Are there any plans to address these discrepancies in the implementation?

Best regards.
