Profiling in PyTorch (Part 2): From nn.Linear to a Fused MLP

Hugging Face · Hugging Face Blog · Jun 11, 2026 · Engineering Insights

Hugging Face tutorial demonstrates profiling and fusing a PyTorch nn.Linear into an optimized fused MLP.

A Hugging Face engineering blog (Part 2 of a series) walks through profiling PyTorch modules and progressively optimizing a standard nn.Linear layer into a fused MLP for better performance. It is a practical, hands-on tutorial for ML engineers but represents incremental engineering know-how rather than a major AI industry announcement, so it falls below the newsletter inclusion threshold.
