Words of the day

Accelerator
A chip built specifically for the mathematics AI needs, rather than the general-purpose work a CPU does. GPUs are the common kind; TPUs are Google's.
eager execution
A mode where each operation runs immediately as written, rather than being built into a graph first, which makes debugging easier.
torch.compile
A PyTorch feature that compiles model code into optimised kernels so it runs faster than ordinary step-by-step execution.
