Stack from ghstack (oldest at bottom):
Add an experimental flex_shard.deepseek_v3 module that reuses the DeepSeek V3 model config with a FlexShard eager parallelizer. The path slices local experts for EP, shards dense params on the FSDP mesh, shards local expert params on the expert-FSDP mesh, and rejects unsupported PP/TP/CP/HSDP/model-compile modes for now.
Make FlexShard work with TorchTitan's meta-module to_empty flow by deferring eager hook installation until bucket storage is materialized, then reinstalling sharded parameter views. Also add FlexShard handling for EP grad norm clipping and DCP state-dict introspection.
Include runtime/state-dict coverage plus local design notes and repro/profiling helpers for the ongoing FlexShard training and compile investigations.
