torch 2.4 breaks the sharded checkpointing backward compatibility. It changed how the save_planner and load_planner flatten the state dict keys. Torch issue: pytorch/pytorch#133923 . So the new load planner can't load the checkpointing saved with old save_planner.
This PR monkey patches the load_planner if it failed to load an old checkpoint, then it removes the patch after loading the checkpointing.
