AI21 contributed code that scores the frozen reference model once and stores the results on disk, so DPO no longer needs a second model copy on the GPUs. It also found that changing tensor parallelism alters the scores, so the trainer now refuses to start if the setup doesn't match. Why it matters: Cuts the GPU...
