Thanks for sharing. I think we converted to a qmd. Also, we have an existing multi-node doc. Maybe you could edit that one instead?

The previous one uses fsdp whereas yours use deepspeed, so you can create a heading for fsdp which is the current doc, then one for deepspeed (or you can combine them to make it clearer).

Sure, will edit the existing one. As you mentioned.
