Variable

Description

TORCH_FORCE_WEIGHTS_ONLY_LOAD

If set to [1, y, yes, true], the torch.load will use weights_only=True. This will happen even if weights_only=False was passed at the callsite. For more documentation on this, see torch.load().

TORCH_FORCE_NO_WEIGHTS_ONLY_LOAD

If set to [1, y, yes, true], the torch.load will use weights_only=False if the weights_only variable was not passed at the callsite. For more documentation on this, see torch.load().

TORCH_AUTOGRAD_SHUTDOWN_WAIT_LIMIT

Under some conditions, autograd threads can hang on shutdown, therefore we do not wait for them to shutdown indefinitely but rely on timeout that is default set to 10 seconds. This environment variable can be used to set the timeout in seconds.

TORCH_DEVICE_BACKEND_AUTOLOAD

If set to 1, out-of-tree backend extensions will be automatically imported when running import torch.
