Description

Is there a way to utilize DeepSpeed for QLORA training? It looks like QLORA requires a special optimizer (e.g., paged_adamw_8bit).

Research direction

The issue asks whether DeepSpeed can support QLORA training with the paged_adamw_8bit optimizer, but it names no file, test, or entry point. First identify the relevant Python training example and inspect how optimizer configuration is handled. Done would be a demonstrated or documented working integration with the required optimizer behavior.
