Research direction

Start by reproducing the step 3 run with the stated 7B and 1.3B BLOOM actors, ZeRO-3, gradient checkpointing, and 80 T4 GPUs. Compare GPU memory with HybridEngine enabled and disabled; done means identifying the cause of the additional memory use or documenting the relevant configuration constraint.
