[QUESTION] Support for Heterogeneous Parallelism in Multimodal Training #1375

@swiftomkar

Description

@swiftomkar

I have been using MegatronLM to train multimodal models and successfully followed the example under examples/multimodal. However, for efficient training, multimodal models often require different parallelism strategies for each component, as vision models are typically smaller than the LLM in such setups.

Does MegatronLM support heterogeneous parallelism strategies, where different models within a multimodal system can use distinct parallelization techniques? If not, are there any recommended workarounds?
