Error: expected scalar type Int but found Float. Probably in the reference or inputs. The task is to replace the forward computation of a PyTorch model with a custom CUDA kernel. The new ModelNew class must take the same inputs as the original Model, have the same forward method signature, and produce the same outputs numerically.
