Hey! Thanks for opening this PR, it seems to me that the issue lies with AMP no?
My only concern would have been performances, outer might be a little bit slower but it seems to be negligible so LGTM.
Let's make sure that the failing test is fixed!

I ran the following script for benchmarking:
import torch
from torch.utils import benchmark
results = []
for b in [10, 10000, 2000000]:
for n in [10, 100, 10000, 1000000]:
if b * n >= 1000000000:
continue
description = f'[{b}, {n}]'
x = torch.rand(b, device='mps')
y = torch.rand(n, device='mps')
results.append(benchmark.Timer(
stmt='torch.outer(x,y)',
globals={'x': x, 'y': y},
description=description,
).blocked_autorange())
results.append(benchmark.Timer(
stmt='torch.einsum("i,j->ij",x,y)',
globals={'x': x, 'y': y},
description=description,
).blocked_autorange())
compare = benchmark.Compare(results)
compare.trim_significant_figures()
compare.colorize()
compare.print()
So looks good to me 😉

failing test is unrelated to the PR i'll fix it on main

FYI @gante and @Rocketknight1 if we see anything failing. I ran slow tests locally and it was all good |
What does this PR do?
When training with AMP, using
einsum
to multiplyt
andself.inv_freq
will introduce precision errors because it casts the result to FP16. This can be avoided by usingtorch.outer
instead, as originally mentioned here: https://github.com/Dao-AILab/flash-attention/blob/2c3baba4a63c4007c8a132c5380edc9430f88a22/flash_attn/layers/rotary.py#L396C1-L398C45Before submitting
