Description
I have been using MegatronLM to train multimodal models and successfully followed the example under examples/multimodal. However, for efficient training, multimodal models often require different parallelism strategies for each component, as vision models are typically smaller than the LLM in such setups.
**Does MegatronLM support heterogeneous parallelism strategies**, where different models within a multimodal system can use distinct parallelization techniques? If not, are there any recommended workarounds?
