Description

This is probably more of a basic python question, but how do I attach the apex.amp logger to the logger used in my training code?

These types of messages are showing up in the console, but are not getting caught by my logger:

Gradient overflow.  Skipping step, loss scaler 0 reducing loss scale to 16384.0

Thanks!
