Description

I was trying autotuner with prompt tuning and it counted the parameters of the whole model and deducted that it doesn't fit in memory.

Describe the solution you'd like
I want autotuner to consider that there might be some frozen parameters

Describe alternatives you've considered
I just tuned the hyperparameters by hand.

Research direction

Start by locating the autotuner logic that counts model parameters and inspect how it determines memory fit. Reproduce the issue with a prompt-tuning or otherwise frozen-parameter model, then verify that autotuning accounts only for parameters that require tuning and still selects valid hyperparameters.
