Description

  1. Add best practice to prefer mod.compile over torch.compile(mod), which avoids _orig_ naming problems. Repro steps:
  • opt_mod = torch.compile(mod)
  • train opt_mod
  • save checkpoint

In another script, potentially on a machine that does NOT support torch.compile: load checkpoint.

This fails with an error, because the checkpoint on opt_mod got its params renamed by torch.compile:

RuntimeError: Error(s) in loading state_dict for VQVAE:
	Missing key(s) in state_dict: "embedding.weight", "encoder.encoder.net.0.weight", "encoder.encoder.net.0.bias", ...
	Unexpected key(s) in state_dict: "_orig_mod.embedding.weight", "_orig_mod.encoder.encoder.net.0.weight", "_orig_mod.encoder.encoder.net.0.bias", ...
  1. Add best practice to use, or at least try, fullgraph=True. This doesn't always work, but we should encourage it.

Note: I'm not a PyTorch expert, these are just based on footguns I've encountered over the past week.

1. Add best practice to prefer `mod.compile` over `torch.compile(mod)`, which avoids `_orig_` naming problems.
Repro steps:
- opt_mod = torch.compile(mod)
- train opt_mod
- save checkpoint

In another script, potentially on a machine that does NOT support `torch.compile`: load checkpoint.

This fails with an error, because the checkpoint on `opt_mod` got its params renamed by `torch.compile`:

Hi @punkeel!

Thank you for your pull request and welcome to our community.

Action Required

In order to merge any pull request (code, docs, etc.), we require contributors to sign our Contributor License Agreement, and we don't seem to have one on file for you.

Process

In order for us to review and merge your suggested changes, please sign at https://code.facebook.com/cla. If you are contributing on behalf of someone else (eg your employer), the individual CLA may not be sufficient and your employer may need to sign the corporate CLA.

Once the CLA is signed, our tooling will perform checks and validations. Afterwards, the pull request will be tagged with CLA signed. The tagging process may take up to 1 hour after signing. Please give it that time before contacting us about it.

If you have received this in error or have any questions, please contact us at [email protected]. Thanks!
