+

+    you may need to use the offline approach using the ``zero_to_fp32.py`` script that is saved with
+    the checkpoint.
+
+    A typical usage might be ::
+
+        from deepspeed.utils.zero_to_fp32 import get_fp32_state_dict_from_zero_checkpoint

+
+    In this example the ``model`` will no longer be usable in the deepspeed context of the same
+    application. i.e. you will need to re-initialize the deepspeed engine, since
+    ``model.load_state_dict(state_dict)`` will remove all the deepspeed magic from it.

+        - ``tag``: checkpoint tag used as a unique identifier for checkpoint. If not provided will attempt to load tag in the file named ``latest`` in the checkpoint folder, e.g., ``global_step14``
+
+    Returns:
+        - ``model`: modified model
+
+    Make sure you have plenty of CPU memory available before you call this function. If you don't
+    have enough use the ``zero_to_fp32.py`` utility to do the conversion. You will find it
+    conveniently placed for you in the checkpoint folder.
+
+    A typical usage might be ::
+
+        from deepspeed.utils.zero_to_fp32 import load_state_dict_from_zero_checkpoint
+        model = load_state_dict_from_zero_checkpoint(trainer.model, checkpoint_dir)
+        # submit to model hub or save the model to share with others
+
+    Note, that once this was run, the ``model`` will no longer be usable in the deepspeed context
+    of the same application. i.e. you will need to re-initialize the deepspeed engine, since
+    ``model.load_state_dict(state_dict)`` will remove all the deepspeed magic from it.
