        model.weight.clear_high_precision_init_val()

    Parameters
    ----------
    enabled: bool, default = `True`
             when enabled, Transformer Engine modules created inside this `fp8_model_init`
             region will hold only FP8 copies of its parameters, as opposed to the default
             behavior where both higher precision and FP8 copies are present. Setting this
             option to `True` may result in lower memory consumption and is especially
             useful for scenarios like:

             * full model training using optimizer with master weights, where the high
               precision copies of weights are already present in the optimizer.
             * inference, where only the FP8 copies of the parameters are used.
             * LoRA-like fine-tuning, where the main parameters of the model do not change.
    recipe: transformer_engine.common.recipe.Recipe, default = `None`
            Recipe used to create the parameters. If left to None, it uses the default FP8 recipe.
    preserve_high_precision_init_val: bool, default = `False`
             when enabled, store the high precision tensor used to initialize FP8 parameters
             in CPU memory, and add two function attributes named `get_high_precision_init_val()`
             and `clear_high_precision_init_val()` to FP8 parameters to get/clear this high
             precision tensor. The purpose is that users can use this high-precision copy
             to initialize master weights, avoiding the loss of precision that can occur when
             using FP8 parameters directly. Note that after the master weights are initialized,
             users should call `clear_high_precision_init_val()` to release this CPU memory.

             This functionality is *EXPERIMENTAL*.

    .. note::

        Support for FP8 in the Linear layer of Transformer Engine is currently limited to tensors
        with shapes where both dimensions are divisible by 16. In terms of the input to the full
        Transformer network, this typically requires padding sequence length to be multiple of 16.

    .. note::

        When :attr:`fp8_recipe.reduce_amax==True`, any module must not be invoked more than once
        inside a single `fp8_autocast` region. This is unsupported behavior because the amax
        reduction is handled during the exit of the `fp8_autocast` context. Calling the same
        module more than once inside an `fp8_autocast` region overrides the amax tensors
        before reduction can occur.

    Parameters
    ----------
    enabled: bool, default = `True`
             whether or not to enable fp8
    calibrating: bool, default = `False`
