Description

Hello, I want to run sequence parallel on pure deepspeed repo. However, I found that it is necessary to let developer to create sequence parallel process group, is it right? I want to know there is any solutions to use sequence parallel or MoE(which also requires expert_data_process_group and so on) on pure deepspeed.
