[docs]class no_grad(_DecoratorContextManager): r"""Context-manager that disabled gradient calculation. Disabling gradient calculation is useful for inference, when you are sure that you will not call :meth:`Tensor.backward()`. It will reduce memory consumption for computations that would otherwise have `requires_grad=True`. In this mode, the result of every computation will have `requires_grad=False`, even when the inputs have `requires_grad=True`. This context manager is thread local; it will not affect computation in other threads. Also functions as a decorator. (Make sure to instantiate with parenthesis.) .. note:: No-grad is one of several mechanisms that can enable or disable gradients locally see :ref:`locally-disable-grad-doc` for more information on how they compare. .. note:: This API does not apply to :ref:`forward-mode AD <forward-mode-ad>`. If you want to disable forward AD for a computation, you can unpack your dual tensors. Example:: >>> # xdoctest: +SKIP >>> x = torch.tensor([1.], requires_grad=True) >>> with torch.no_grad(): ... y = x * 2 >>> y.requires_grad False >>> @torch.no_grad() ... def doubler(x): ... return x * 2 >>> z = doubler(x) >>> z.requires_grad False """ def __init__(self) -> None: if not torch._jit_internal.is_scripting(): super().__init__() self.prev = False def __enter__(self) -> None: self.prev = torch.is_grad_enabled() torch.set_grad_enabled(False) def __exit__(self, exc_type: Any, exc_value: Any, traceback: Any) -> None: torch.set_grad_enabled(self.prev)

[docs]class inference_mode(_DecoratorContextManager): r"""Context-manager that enables or disables inference mode InferenceMode is a new context manager analogous to :class:`~no_grad` to be used when you are certain your operations will have no interactions with autograd (e.g., model training).

This context manager can lead to arbitrary silent-correctness issues in any other part of your code (even the ones not touched directly by the context manager)! Ordinarily, autograd will track mutations to tensors by incrementing it's `._version` attribute. This is generally important for correctness, as for example, mutating a tensor that autograd has saved for the backwards pass can result in incorrect gradients, and autograd uses the version counter to detect and error out in this situation. However, there are rare instances where it might be useful to hide mutations from autograd. For example: if a tensor is very large, and you'd like to free its memory by storing it elsewhere, and re-populate the tensor right before it is needed by autograd.
