Constructs a nested tensor preserving autograd history from :attr:`tensor_list` a list of tensors.
.. note::
Tensors within the list are always copied by this function due to current nested tensor semantics.
Args:
tensor_list (List[Tensor]): a list of tensors with the same ndim
Keyword arguments:
dtype (:class:`torch.dtype`, optional): the desired type of returned nested tensor.
Default: if None, same :class:`torch.dtype` as leftmost tensor in the list.
device (:class:`torch.device`, optional): the desired device of returned nested tensor.
Default: if None, same :class:`torch.device` as leftmost tensor in the list
layout (:class:`torch.layout`, optional): the desired layout of returned nested tensor.
Only strided and jagged layouts are supported. Default: if None, the strided layout.
Example::
>>> a = torch.arange(3, dtype=torch.float, requires_grad=True)

to_padded_tensor(input, padding, output_size=None, out=None) -> Tensor
Returns a new (non-nested) Tensor by padding the :attr:`input` nested tensor.
The leading entries will be filled with the nested data,
while the trailing entries will be padded.
.. warning::
:func:`to_padded_tensor` always copies the underlying data,
since the nested and the non-nested tensors differ in memory layout.
Args:
padding (float): The padding value for the trailing entries.
Keyword args:
output_size (Tuple[int]): The size of the output tensor.
If given, it must be large enough to contain all nested data;
else, will infer by taking the max size of each nested sub-tensor along each dimension.
out (Tensor, optional): the output tensor.

def narrow(tensor: Tensor, dim: int, start: Union[int, Tensor], length: Union[int, Tensor], layout=torch.strided) -> Tensor:
r"""
Constructs a nested tensor (which might be a view) from :attr:`tensor`, a strided tensor. This follows
similar semantics to torch.Tensor.narrow, where in the :attr:`dim`-th dimension the new nested tensor
shows only the elements in the interval `[start, start+length)`. As nested representations
allow for a different `start` and `length` at each 'row' of that dimension, :attr:`start` and :attr:`length`
can also be tensors of shape `tensor.shape[0]`.
There's some differences depending on the layout you use for the nested tensor. If using strided layout,
torch.narrow will do a copy of the narrowed data into a contiguous NT with strided layout, while
jagged layout narrow() will create a non-contiguous view of your original strided tensor. This particular
representation is really useful for representing kv-caches in Transformer models, as specialized
SDPA kernels can deal with format easily, resulting in performance improvements.
Args:
tensor (:class:`torch.Tensor`): a strided tensor, which will be used as the underlying data
for the nested tensor if using the jagged layout or will be copied for the strided layout.
dim (int): the dimension where narrow will be applied. Only `dim=1` is supported for the
jagged layout, while strided supports all dim
start (Union[int, :class:`torch.Tensor`]): starting element for the narrow operation
length (Union[int, :class:`torch.Tensor`]): number of elements taken during the narrow op
Keyword arguments:
layout (:class:`torch.layout`, optional): the desired layout of returned nested tensor.
Only strided and jagged layouts are supported. Default: if None, the strided layout.

>>> starts = torch.tensor([0, 1, 2, 3, 4], dtype=torch.int64)
