r"""
Constructs a nested tensor preserving autograd history from a tensor or a list / tuple of
tensors.
If a nested tensor is passed, it will be returned directly unless the device / dtype / layout
differ. Note that converting device / dtype will result in a copy, while converting layout
is not currently supported by this function.
If a non-nested tensor is passed, it is treated as a batch of constituents of consistent size.
A copy will be incurred if the passed device / dtype differ from those of the input OR if
the input is non-contiguous. Otherwise, the input's storage will be used directly.
If a tensor list is provided, tensors in the list are always copied during construction of
the nested tensor.
Args:
ts (Tensor or List[Tensor] or Tuple[Tensor]): a tensor to treat as a nested tensor OR a
list / tuple of tensors with the same ndim
Keyword arguments:
dtype (:class:`torch.dtype`, optional): the desired type of returned nested tensor.
Default: if None, same :class:`torch.dtype` as leftmost tensor in the list.
device (:class:`torch.device`, optional): the desired device of returned nested tensor.
Default: if None, same :class:`torch.device` as leftmost tensor in the list
layout (:class:`torch.layout`, optional): the desired layout of returned nested tensor.
Only strided and jagged layouts are supported. Default: if None, the strided layout.
Example::
>>> a = torch.arange(3, dtype=torch.float, requires_grad=True)
>>> b = torch.arange(5, dtype=torch.float, requires_grad=True)
>>> nt = torch.nested.as_nested_tensor([a, b])
>>> nt.is_leaf

to_padded_tensor(input, padding, output_size=None, out=None) -> Tensor
Returns a new (non-nested) Tensor by padding the :attr:`input` nested tensor.
The leading entries will be filled with the nested data,
while the trailing entries will be padded.
.. warning::
:func:`to_padded_tensor` always copies the underlying data,
since the nested and the non-nested tensors differ in memory layout.
Args:
padding (float): The padding value for the trailing entries.
Keyword args:
output_size (Tuple[int]): The size of the output tensor.
If given, it must be large enough to contain all nested data;
else, will infer by taking the max size of each nested sub-tensor along each dimension.

r"""
Constructs a nested tensor (which might be a view) from :attr:`tensor`, a strided tensor. This follows
similar semantics to torch.Tensor.narrow, where in the :attr:`dim`-th dimension the new nested tensor
shows only the elements in the interval `[start, start+length)`. As nested representations
allow for a different `start` and `length` at each 'row' of that dimension, :attr:`start` and :attr:`length`
can also be tensors of shape `tensor.shape[0]`.
There's some differences depending on the layout you use for the nested tensor. If using strided layout,
torch.narrow will do a copy of the narrowed data into a contiguous NT with strided layout, while
jagged layout narrow() will create a non-contiguous view of your original strided tensor. This particular
representation is really useful for representing kv-caches in Transformer models, as specialized
SDPA kernels can deal with format easily, resulting in performance improvements.
Args:
tensor (:class:`torch.Tensor`): a strided tensor, which will be used as the underlying data
for the nested tensor if using the jagged layout or will be copied for the strided layout.
dim (int): the dimension where narrow will be applied. Only `dim=1` is supported for the
jagged layout, while strided supports all dim
start (Union[int, :class:`torch.Tensor`]): starting element for the narrow operation
length (Union[int, :class:`torch.Tensor`]): number of elements taken during the narrow op

r"""
Constructs a jagged layout nested tensor from the given jagged components. The jagged layout
consists of a required values buffer with the jagged dimension packed into a single dimension.
The offsets / lengths metadata determines how this dimension is split into batch elements
and are expected to be allocated on the same device as the values buffer.
Expected metadata formats:
* offsets: Indices within the packed dimension splitting it into heterogeneously-sized
batch elements. Example: [0, 2, 3, 6] indicates that a packed jagged dim of size 6
should be conceptually split into batch elements of length [2, 1, 3]. Note that both the
beginning and ending offsets are required for kernel convenience (i.e. shape batch_size + 1).
* lengths: Lengths of the individual batch elements; shape == batch_size. Example: [2, 1, 3]
indicates that a packed jagged dim of size 6 should be conceptually split into batch
elements of length [2, 1, 3].
Note that it can be useful to provide both offsets and lengths. This describes a nested tensor
with "holes", where the offsets indicate the start position of each batch item and the length
specifies the total number of elements (see example below).
The returned jagged layout nested tensor will be a view of the input values tensor.
Args:
values (:class:`torch.Tensor`): The underlying buffer in the shape of
(sum_B(*), D_1, ..., D_N). The jagged dimension is packed into a single dimension,
with the offsets / lengths metadata used to distinguish batch elements.
offsets (optional :class:`torch.Tensor`): Offsets into the jagged dimension of shape B + 1.
lengths (optional :class:`torch.Tensor`): Lengths of the batch elements of shape B.
jagged_dim (optional int): Indicates which dimension in values is the packed jagged
dimension. If None, this is set to dim=1 (i.e. the dimension immediately following
the batch dimension). Default: None

>>> values = torch.randn(12, 5)
>>> offsets = torch.tensor([0, 3, 5, 6, 10, 12])
