**Optimizing computation timing**
I need to look into optimizing maybe the timing of my computations. I could try submitting only the reveals. Perhaps I could attempt using custom cublasLt with an epilogue? I wonder if at::addmm can fuse the bias — it may not though. If I’m using a 1D bias, will addmm expand it? The max error seems tiny, which is good.
I want to evaluate the speed and consider improvements with torch.compile. Custom CUDA could be the way to go as well.
