Description
Previous versions of DeepSpeed contained the function deepspeed.utils.is_initialized, but the most recent one doesn't. How can I check whether DeepSpeed has already been initialized now? I'm using it to programmatically choose between torch's and DeepSpeed's activation checkpointing functions.
