 Now that we have elaborated the sharding plan for each ``TransformerBlock``, there is usually a ``nn.Embedding`` in the first layer and a final ``nn.Linear`` projection layer, where user could choose row-wise or column-wise sharding to the first ``nn.Embedding`` and column-wise sharding to the last ``nn.Linear`` projection layer with proper input and output layouts specified.
+Here is an example:

+        tp_mesh,

 .. note::
 	If the model to be partitioned is too large to fit into CPU memory, one could either use ``meta`` device initialization (for example, initialize the model on meta device first, shard the layers, and the materialize the model), or parallelize the ``TransformerBlock`` layer by layer during the Transformer model initialization.

 Just like what happens to Tensor Parallelism, one only needs to specify the tensor sharding layouts of the inputs and outputs, and the communication between layers will happen automatically.
 
 Note that with Sequence Parallel, we assume the inputs and outputs of a ``TransformerBlock`` are always sharded on the sequence dimension, so that multiple ``TransformerBlocks`` can be concatenated seamlessly.
-The only exception is that the input to the first ``TransformerBlock`` is replicated from the data loaders, so it has to be converted explicitly:
+This can be facilitated by explicitly specifying the output of the beginning ``nn.Embedding`` layer and the input of the final ``nn.Linear`` projection layer to be ``Shard(1)``:
