### 0.43.2

This release is quite significant as the QLoRA bug fix big implications for higher `seqlen` and batch sizes.

For each sequence (i.e. batch size increase of one) we expect memory savings of:
- 405B: 39GB for seqlen 1024, and 4888GB for 128k
- 70B: 20.1GB for 1024 and 2516GB for 128k

This was due to activations being unnecessary for frozen parameters, yet the memory for them was still erroneously allocated due to the now fixed bug.

#### Improvements:

- docs: FSDP+QLoRA and CPU install guide (#1211 #1227, thanks @stevhliu)
