            that the model parameters are store in the `main_grad`
            field instead of the typical `grad` field. This happens

            and as a result we store those gradients in the main_grad.
            Note that main grad is not necessarily in float32.
        bf16: if true, the model is running in bfloat16.
        grad_scaler: used for scaling gradients. Note that this can be
            None. This case happens when `bf16 = True` and we don't
            use any loss scale. Note that for `bf16 = True`, we can have
            a constnat gradient scaler. Also for `bf16 = False`, we
