| Printed | Page Page 70 Figure 4-11 and 2nd paragraph |
In the description of the three ZeRO stages, there seems to be a discrepancy between Figure 4-11 and the text immediately below the figure. For example, the figure suggests that Stage 1 involves sharding only the parameters, while the text affirms that only the optimizer states are sharded in Stage 1. The text has the correct information, but the figure seems misleading to me. |

| Printed | Page Page 85 Last paragraph and code |
The paragraph says "let's demonstrate how to convert this tabular dataset into an instruction dataset using Python's f-string and .format() code". Then, it presents a Python code snippet. However, the f-string will not work as desired. A common string would work fine. |
