Describe the bug
I have 4 nodes, each with 8 A100 gpu. In order to reduce communication between nodes, I used zero++ training, which indeed accelerated the training process. However, during the training process, the loss remained at 11.9321 and the grad_norm remained at 0, resulting in training failure
My Deepspeed configuration file is as follows：
{
"train_batch_size": "auto",
"train_micro_batch_size_per_gpu": "auto",
"gradient_accumulation_steps": "auto",
"gradient_clipping": "auto",

}
}
Excuse me, where is the problem and how should I solve it？
