Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
#3058, #3715 introduces MuP into Megatron-LM with support for Muon.
MuP allows efficient and reliable hyperparameter (esp. LR) transfer from narrow to wide networks, for the same depth.
There are a series of papers in this field, that allow transfer from shallow to deeper networks, etc, which are essential for a good pretraining scaling recipe.
A new paper from Microsoft, HyperP, claims to be "the first framework for transferring optimal learning rates across model width, depth, training tokens, and Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) granularity under the Frobenius-sphere constraint with the Muon optimizer."
I suggest we integrate HyperP into Megatron-LM.
