### To Reproduce
Please use:
1 node(s), each with 8 GPUs.
Image ""INTERNAL_IMAGE:pjnl-20241011""
Training script:
python /opt/pytorch/lightning-thunder/thunder/benchmarks/benchmark_litgpt.py \
--model_name tiny-llama-1.1b \
--distributed_mode fsdp \
--shard_mode zero3 \
--compile thunder \
--checkpoint_activations False \
--low_precision_mode none \
--micro_batch_size 18
### Expected behavior
We should not see this error.
