Description

Hi, I have a NVidia Quadro P5200 with 32GB of VRAM, yet when I run the codes for a test they perform extremely slowly and in the task manager the GPU's used ram stays near 0. I think the code is not using my GPU. Is there special configuration to do beyond pip install -r requirements.txt to get this running on GPU?

Research direction

Start by reading generate.py and requirements.txt to determine how device selection and GPU dependencies are handled. Document any required installation or configuration beyond pip install -r requirements.txt, and explain how users can verify that generation is using the GPU by rerunning a test and checking GPU memory usage.
