Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I've greatly enjoyed using DeepSpeed in order to run larger neural networks on my underpowered and low frame buffer hardware. However, it seems like DeepSpeed is focused only on implemented the memory offloading features to Pytorch and not any newer frameworks like Jax or Flax.

Describe the solution you'd like
Are there any possible plans to also include support for alternative frameworks in deepspeed.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Alternatively, are there any other frameworks/projects that support offloading and other memory saving features of deepspeed, but targeting alternative frameworks?

Research direction

No implementation files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing where DeepSpeed's PyTorch-specific integrations are defined and compare the requested Jax or Flax support needs; done would require an agreed scope and design for supporting an alternative framework, which this issue does not specify.
