Description

- It should be straight forward for AdamW where the udpates are coordinate wise so sharding works as intended.
- This is trickier for SOAP/Scion/Muon which needs to keep the matrices intact.
- look at this [implementation](https://github.com/SDLAML/disco).

Research direction

Start by reviewing the ZerocopyOptimizer TODO and the linked disco implementation. Compare the intended sharding behavior for AdamW with the matrix-preserving requirements of SOAP, Scion, and Muon. Done means the compatibility requirements are established and the optimizer behavior is verified for each named case.
