# create_seed_checkpoint.sh
#
# Run this script to create a seed checkpoint used to initialize a model from step-0.
# Seed checkpoints are used to initialize pipeline-parallel models since the model initializer
# functions don't cleanly run on chunked model parts after meta-initialization.
#
# Use the same model config to generate your seed checkpoint as you use for training.
# e.g.
# CONFIG=<path to model_config> ./create_seed_checkpoint.sh
