Why does torchrun change localhost to host IP for master_addr?

Hi,

I specify rdzv_endpoint as localhost:29500 in torchrun, but it resulted to the IP address of the host, and also change the port number.
I ran it with distributed.launch, it works as specified, i.e. the master_addr is not changed.

In my single node run, distributed.launch works, but torchrun doesn’t. How can I prevent torchrun to do this?

Below is the log using torchrun:
