⚡ Bolt: Optimize autograd backpropagation pass#148
Conversation
Refactored `accumulate_grad` to take ownership of Tensors, and replaced `.clone()` in `backward` loop with `.take()` and re-insertion to avoid redundant deep cloning of `Tensor` wrappers. Co-authored-by: teerthsharma <78080953+teerthsharma@users.noreply.github.com>

💡 What: Refactored
accumulate_gradto take ownership of Tensors, and replaced.clone()inbackwardloop with.take()and re-insertion.🎯 Why:
Tensorinstances carry heap-allocated metadata (shape,strides). Cloning gradients at every step in backprop unnecessarily replicates metadata.📊 Impact: Removes redundant deep cloning of
Tensorwrappers during reverse-mode diff, resulting in faster and more memory-efficient gradient updates.🔬 Measurement: Backpropagation allocates significantly fewer heap elements; validated by
autogradtest suite passing.PR created automatically by Jules for task 15719591753338873973 started by @teerthsharma
