ShardedStateLoader

Bases: BaseModelLoader

Model loader that directly loads each worker's model state dict, which enables a fast load path for large tensor-parallel/pipeline-parallel models where each worker only needs to read its own shard rather than the entire checkpoint. See examples/features/sharded_state/save_sharded_state_offline.py for creating a sharded checkpoint.
