Description

pp_size = 8
stage 0 contains a vision encoder of 45 layers
stage 1~7 contain 56 layers of decoder
zero 0 is well but zero 1 and bf16/fp16 failed
much more GPU memory will be saved if zero 1 runs well

Research direction

No files, tests, logs, model details, or exact reproduction command are provided. Start by reproducing the pp_size=8 configuration with the stated stage layer split under zero=0 and zero=1 with bf16/fp16, then compare where training stops. Done means zero=1 completes training in the failing configuration while retaining the expected GPU-memory savings.
