Description

I'm willing to do several inference operations for validation during the distributed training processes. The inference operations invlove some functions of my model, which cannot be called when my model is wrapped by deepspeed.engine. What's the right way to do?

For example, I'm willing to call generate() of models in huggingface transformers. May I just use engine.module.generate() ?
