Of the allocated memory 77.22 GiB is allocated by PyTorch, and 380.06 MiB is reserved by PyTorch but unallocated. If reserved but unallocated memory is large try setting PYTORCH_CUDA_ALLOC_CONF=expandable_segments:True to avoid fragmentation.

The openai blog says it fits on 80GB H100. Why it does not work for me

### 🤖 Cursor Assistant

Looking at your OOM error, I can see that you're using **78.32 GiB out of 79.19 GiB** available. The issue is likely related to a few factors:

## Key Issues

1. **`Mxfp4Config(dequantize=True)`** - This parameter causes the model to be dequantized back to full precision during computation, which defeats the purpose of quantization and uses significantly more memory.

2. **Memory fragmentation** - The error message suggests this: "380.06 MiB is reserved by PyTorch but unallocated"

3. **LoRA delta computation** - The error occurs during LoRA forward pass when computing `W + self.delta_weight`, which requires materializing the full weight matrix.

## Solutions to Try

Let me create a modified script with several memory-saving techniques:
