Description

Which component requires the feature?

CuTe DSL

Feature Request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It would be useful for cute.Tensor to support permute, transpose, unsqueeze, expand. Calling them in host-side launchers instead of torch would reduce CPU-side overheads.

Describe the solution you'd like

Expand the cute.Tensor class to include the methods suggested.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Defining helper methods

Research direction

Start with the CuTe DSL's cute.Tensor class and inspect how host-side launchers currently use torch for tensor manipulation. Determine the expected behavior of permute, transpose, unsqueeze, and expand, then verify that the methods support the requested launcher use cases without relying on helper methods.
