Hey folks,
Opening a draft to poke at adding some new tensor ops to Candle, specifically FFT and Scan for both CPU and GPU.
What's cooking in this branch:
/0aEXPLORATION) for hacking on prototypes and notebooks before they're ready for primetime in the core crates.This is an early-stage feeler to get eyes on the direction.
On the workflow: Hacking with an AI assistant
Full disclosure: I built this branch with an AI coding assistant. It was a new workflow for me.
The good: it's incredibly fast for bootstrapping boilerplate and exploring different structures. The bad: it can generate a lot of noise, subtle bugs, and artifacts that need a human to spot and clean up. It's a powerful tool, but it definitely doesn't replace the programmer.
Let me know what you think.
