Does DeepSpeed support tensor parallel for training?

I understand that Deepspeed supports TP for inference, but it does not support training.
Can someone share any documentation or demos if I'm incorrect?

You are correct, DeepSpeed relies on client-side tensor parallelism, such as Megatron, for training. The following doc provides some details on combining DeepSpeed and Megatron for this: https://huggingface.co/blog/bloom-megatron-deepspeed.

Thanks for your guides, it's a great resource to gain a broad understanding of these technologies.
