Where did these (NCCL variables) get inherited from? I think these are supposed to be set a script that the host networking team ships.

We have these set in our internal scripts, and the training fails without these due to communication errors. Looks like its not set by the host networking script?

Is this right? Does it need to require SBRG and then prefer a certain number of VMs within a rack?

Nothing in this script hard codes FP8-CS or GBS 2048, I think? So curious if that needs to be in the filename.
