Hi all,

I am having an issue when running Peft LoRA with DeepSpeed Zero3.

Error:

```bash
ValueError: fp16 is enabled but the following parameters have dtype that is not fp16: base_model.model.gpt_neox.layers.0.attention.query_key_value.lora_A.weight, 
base_model.model.gpt_neox.layers.0.attention.query_key_value.lora_B.weight, base_model.model.gpt_neox.layers.1.attention.query_key_value.lora_A.weight, 
base_model.model.gpt_neox.layers.1.attention.query_key_value.lora_B.weight, base_model.model.gpt_neox.layers.2.attention.query_key_value.lora_A.weight, 
base_model.model.gpt_neox.layers.2.attention.query_key_value.lora_B.weight, base_model.model.gpt_neox.layers.3.attention.query_key_value.lora_A.weight,

```

How to reproduce:

CLI:

```bash
deepspeed finetune_pythia.py --per_device_train_batch_size 1 --output_dir /home/training_scripts/pythia-1.4b --fp16 --deepspeed configs/ds_z3_config.json

```

Code:

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, GPTNeoXForCausalLM
from peft import get_peft_model, LoraConfig, TaskType

peft_config = LoraConfig(
  task_type=TaskType.CAUSAL_LM, 
  inference_mode=False, 
  r=16, 
  lora_alpha=32, 
  lora_dropout=0.1,
)

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("EleutherAI/pythia-1.4b")
model = GPTNeoXForCausalLM.from_pretrained("EleutherAI/pythia-1.4b")
model = get_peft_model(model, peft_config)
model.print_trainable_parameters()

```

DeepSpeed Zero 3 config:

}

```

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Wrap your trainer with autocast,  
with torch.autocast(“cuda”):  
for epoch in range(args.epochs):
