              DEPRECATED: Please use ``quantization_modes`` instead.
    quantization_modes : List[UserBufferQuantizationMode] = None
              if a list of UserBufferQuantizationMode is provided, a UB communicator is created for each quantization setting in the list.
              falls back to the legacy ``use_fp8`` parameter if ``None`` is provided.

                        not available. Setting ``NVTE_UB_WITH_MPI=1`` when building TE overrides this
                        option and always initializes Userbuffers with direct MPI calls in C++,
                        which also requires ``MPI_HOME=/path/to/mpi/root`` to be set at compile time.

        #     overhead of many GPU-CPU memory transfers.
