Overview: what you’re building
You’re going to build a train_gpu.py script that:
- Uses GPU automatically when available.
- Ensures model, inputs, and loss are on the same device.
- Logs tokens per second so you can see training speed.
- Supports gradient accumulation to simulate larger batch sizes.
- Saves checkpoints of model + optimizer so you can resume training.
We’ll assume PyTorch, a text model (like a small Transformer), and that you already have a basic CPU training loop.
