Episode Synopsis

The min-cut partitioner makes decisions about what to save for backwards when splitting the forward and backwards graph from the joint graph traced by AOTAutograd. Crucially, it doesn't actually do a "split"; instead, it is deciding how much of the joint graph should be used for backwards. I also talk about the backward retracing problem.
