What does this PR do?

Fixes # (issue)

Due to the bug in get_optimizer_param_tuples in zero.py, now revert the change introduced in #1377 , and then only support training with ms2.7.0 when using ZeRO

Summary of Changes

Hello @wtomin, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request resolves a critical bug in the ZeRO optimization implementation by reverting a problematic change in the get_optimizer_param_tuples function. As a result, ZeRO training is now explicitly supported only with MindSpore version 2.7.0 to guarantee stability and correct behavior. The accompanying documentation has been updated to reflect this revised version compatibility.

Highlights

  • Bug Fix for ZeRO: Addresses a bug in the get_optimizer_param_tuples function within zero.py that affected ZeRO optimization.
  • Revert Previous Change: Reverts a change previously introduced in pull request (feat)Example MmaDA: update performance in readme #1377 to resolve the identified bug.
  • MindSpore Version Support: Restricts ZeRO training to only support MindSpore version 2.7.0, ensuring compatibility and correct operation.
  • Documentation Update: Updates examples/mmada/README.md by removing a section that detailed experiments with MindSpore 2.6.0, aligning the documentation with the new version requirement.

Code Review

This pull request fixes a bug in get_optimizer_param_tuples by reverting a previous change, which simplifies the logic for finding optimizer parameter tuples. This change, along with the README.md update, restricts ZeRO support to MindSpore 2.7.0. While the fix is correct, I've added a comment regarding the implementation's reliance on internal optimizer details, which poses a maintainability risk.

Iterating over self.optimizer.__dict__ to find optimizer state parameter tuples is fragile as it depends on the internal implementation details of MindSpore's optimizer classes. This could lead to unexpected behavior or breakages if the internal structure of these optimizers changes in a future MindSpore release. It would be more robust to rely on a public API if one is available for accessing optimizer states. If not, consider adding a comment to explain why this approach is necessary and to highlight its potential fragility for future maintainers.
