 - The `monitor` argument in the `EarlyStopping` callback is no longer optional ([#10328](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/pull/10328))
 
 
+- Do not fail if batch size could not be inferred for logging when using DeepSpeed ([#10438](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/issues/10438))

 - Raise `MisconfigurationException` when `enable_progress_bar=False` and a progress bar instance has been passed in the callback list ([#10520](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/issues/10520))
