Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Is there a way to benchmark deepspeed inference based on different model configs (that is not in hf). Since its just benchmark, I want to just be able to use random weights.

Describe the solution you'd like
A tutorial/example code to define custom config and run benchmarks

Describe alternatives you've considered
I tried to use ds_transformer and pass DeepSpeedInfereceConfig to run some benchmarks, but proving a bit difficult than I thought and I am not sure if its the best way to estimate DeepSpeed inference.

Additional context
Trying to benchmark DeepSpeed inference on custom model sizes and perhaps extend to custom architecture.

Research direction

Start by examining ds_transformer and DeepSpeedInferenceConfig, which the issue identifies as the attempted benchmarking path. Create a tutorial or example showing custom model configurations, random weights, and benchmark execution; done means users can benchmark custom model sizes without relying on a model from Hugging Face.
