**Implementing with cuBLAS**
I need to implement something using cuBLAS in a C++ extension and return the output. It's important to follow the guidelines properly while doing this. I want to make sure that I understand how to integrate cuBLAS with my C++ code effectively. I should also check the necessary functions and libraries I need to include. This implementation has potential and I'm excited to see what I can create with it!
