Overcoming GPU-specific dependencies in LLM training frameworks

Existing LLM training frameworks like Nanotron have heavy hardware-specific dependencies that cause them to crash on older or budget GPUs. This limits accessibility and creates a bottleneck in AI development. The dependencies include flash-attn, triton, and functorch, which are challenging to work with on lower-end hardware.
