So the reason we had the check in the accelerator connector is because the error message is not accurate when instantiating the plugin (or a subclass of it) outside the Trainer. So yeah, not ideal to move it here :)

@awaelchli do you mean that user may init the precision plugin by themselves? Are you suggesting keep this in accl_connt?

in general yes, that's what the plugins are meant to be used for. For the IPU precision specifically, nobody will. Still, the error message making a reference to the Trainer is misleading.
