Add Llama4 maverick examples

* fix: liger swiglu for llama4

* feat: add liger to deepseek v3

* fix: unpack not found

* fix: spelling

* fix: comment out deepseek v3

* fix: retest deepseek

* fix: map glu

* fix: patch model forward

* chore: add temp code to save

* fix: remove deepseek to move into separate PR
