 - Fixed `CombinedLoader` and `max_size_cycle` didn't receive a `DistributedSampler` ([#10374](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/issues/10374))
 
 
+- Fix `isinstance` not working with `init_meta_context`, materialize model not being moved to the device ([#10493](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/metrics/pull/10493))

 - Squeeze the early stopping monitor to remove empty tensor dimensions ([#10461](https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/issues/10461))
