PyTorch

Changed

• Changed to the NeptuneLogger (#16761):
  • It now supports neptune-client 0.16.16 and neptune >=1.0, and we have replaced the log() method with append() and extend().
  • It now accepts a namespace Handler as an alternative to Run for the run argument. This means that you can call it like NeptuneLogger(run=run["some/namespace"]) to log everything to the some/namespace/ location of the run.
• Allow sys.argv and args in LightningCLI (#16808)
• Moveed HPU broadcast override to the HPU strategy file (#17011)

Depercated

• Removed registration of ShardedTensor state dict hooks in LightningModule.__init__ with torch>=2.1 (#16892)
• Removed the lightning.pytorch.core.saving.ModelIO class interface (#16974)

Fixed

• Fixed num_nodes not being set for DDPFullyShardedNativeStrategy (#17160)
• Fixed parsing the precision config for inference in DeepSpeedStrategy (#16973)
• Fixed the availability check for rich that prevented Lightning to be imported in Google Colab (#17156)
• Fixed for all _cuda_clearCublasWorkspaces on teardown (#16907)
• The psutil package is now required for CPU monitoring (#17010)
• Improved the error message for installing tensorboard or tensorboardx (#17053)
