  • Format the PR title as [{modules}] {type}: {description} (This will be checked by the CI)
    • {modules} include fsdp, megatron, sglang, vllm, rollout, trainer, ci, training_utils, recipe, hardware, deployment, ray, worker, single_controller, misc, perf, model, algo, env, tool, ckpt, doc, data
    • If this PR involves multiple modules, separate them with , like [megatron, fsdp, doc]
    • {type} is in feat, fix, refactor, chore, test
    • If this PR breaks any API (CLI arguments, config, function signature, etc.), add [BREAKING] to the beginning of the title.
    • Example: [BREAKING][fsdp, megatron] feat: dynamic batching

Test

For changes that can not be tested by CI (e.g., algorithm implementation, new model support), validate by experiment(s) and show results like training curve plots, evaluation results, etc.

API and Usage Example

Demonstrate how the API changes if any, and provide usage example(s) if possible.

# Add code snippet or script demonstrating how to use this

Design & Code Changes

Code Review

This pull request changes the default value for expert_tensor_parallel_size from 1 to null across Megatron configurations. This is intended to make it automatically follow the tensor_model_parallel_size (TP size). The change is consistent across all modified configuration files. However, this introduces a breaking change for users who have custom configurations with tensor_model_parallel_size > 1, as the behavior of expert_tensor_parallel_size will change. I've added a comment to recommend that this pull request be marked as a breaking change to ensure users are aware of the new default behavior.
