reasoning

The task is to replace the forward computation of a PyTorch model with a custom CUDA kernel. The model is a GPN-MSA model from "songlab/gpn-msa-sapiens", which is based on transformers, specifically A...I need to create a custom CUDA kernel for the forward computation of a GPN-MSA model, replacing the standard PyTorch forward pass. The original model uses AutoModelForMaskedLM from Hugging Face, loading a pretrained checkpoint, and its forward method simply returns the logits from the model's output.
