Issues with torch.compile

[botev]

We are very happy with the fact that jaxtyping supports Pytorch as well, but we are currently hitting some kind of weird error/edge case and was hoping if you can give some suggestions.
When compiling a module and trying to run it we get this stacktrace:

I'd suggest raising this with the PyTorch folks, including a MWE. This is likely this is an instance of hitting something torch.compile doesn't support yet. Another example came up recently at pytorch/pytorch#122093

Hmm, I managed to fix a few things and rearrange, but now I get:

The problem arose whilst typechecking parameter 'self'.
Actual value: MyModuel(....)
Expected type: <class 'inspect._empty'>.

which I would guess is because the compile rewrite the forward pass as a pure function?

[patrick-kidger]

I'm not sure of the details of torch.compile, so hard for me to speculate I'm afraid.

Hi @botev , I face exactly the same (original) problem.
Did you find any solution?

[botev]

Unfortunately no, I just disabled the guard for PyTorch.
