Description

🚀 The feature, motivation and pitch

Consider loading the model directly into RAM/VRAM instead of the meta device. Why?

  1. Subtleties in operations between real-tensor operations and meta-tensor operations (e.g. some operations are not supported)
  2. HF's from_pretrained has much more robust support than from_config as we use now
