In TemporaryCheckpointsJSON(https://github.com/huggingface/transformers-bloom-inference/blob/main/inference_server/models/ds_inference.py#L80) ,

When use glob.glob(f"{self.model_path}/*.bin"), files path in the list will all contain model_path prefix (eg: modelname is bigscience/bloom ).
{"type": "BLOOM", "checkpoints": ["bigscience/bloom/pytorch_model.bin"], "version": 1.0}
While set it as root_dir (glob.glob("*.bin", root_dir=self.model_path)) will not:
{"type": "BLOOM", "checkpoints": ["pytorch_model.bin"], "version": 1.0}
And it will align to DeepSpeed's loading way (replace_module.py). Because when loading, it will add root_dir again:
sd = [
torch.load(os.path.join(base_dir1, checkpoint[i]), map_location='cpu')
]
So, current dump way will duplicate model_path.
And I raised a PR: #71 .
