Torch Compile Test


Write the model once in Python; let the compiler rewrite it into fast kernels.


Key Insight

torch.compile traces a model into a graph and generates optimized, fused kernels, turning many small operations into a few large ones. Compiling a transformer block and timing it against eager mode shows the speedup from cutting Python overhead and kernel launches.

Why This Matters

A single line — torch.compile(model) — can speed up training with no change to the model's math, which makes it one of the cheapest wins in modern PyTorch whenever the graph compiles cleanly.
